Hocus Pocus

starring: Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, Kathy Najimy, Omri Katz, Thora Birch
directed by: Kenny Ortega

Love the witches! They are not green (one is even pretty) and although there is some wickedness, their bumbling behavior is a grand improvement over most Hollywood-evil portrayals of witchcraft. This movie is fun Halloween fare without bloody, gory, massacres! I can watch this story year-round for Bette Midler's comedic genius and certain scenes are tender enough to bring a tear to my eye every time.

This movie is pretty funny! very 80s. It is a movie that I could watch again on a rainy day. There are some graphic scenes, so not a movie for kids. I'm glad I bought it.

The negative reviews on this video tape must have been looking for a Bette Midler performance, which you don't get with this video. Bette is a phenomenal performer, and did a very wonderful thing by taking the MC role and collecting together some of the most influential artists of the 1980's and putting them on TV for all to see. But why this HBO special was considered a "comedy special," I have no idea. There are some comic moments, but it is the artistry and performance that you want to own this video for. If you want a snapshot of the 1980's performance art movement, this is your video tape, and if you'd like to know why these artists were chosen most of them have websites which unfortunately I can't publish in a review, but please look them up. Here's a condensed ... Read More:

Gypsy (1993)

starring: Bette Midler, Peter Riegert, Cynthia Gibb, Edward Asner, Christine Ebersole
directed by: Emile Ardolino

February 16, 1999
It looked good on paper: Powerhouse performer Bette Midler playing the most famous role in musical theater, directed by Emile Ardolino, the guy who turned "Dirty Dancing" into a national phenomenon. So what went wrong? The truth is, Midler simply isn't a good enough actress to capture the subtleties of as complex a character as Momma Rose. She's all big eyes and broad gestures, waving arms and manic mood swings; it's a community theater performance, going for the obvious at every turn. Is Rose manic and driven at times? Yes, of course; her father calls her a "crazy woman" in an early scene. But from her first entrance, Midler seems to have confused "powerhouse" with "bulldozer." She spits her lines out in rapid succession, with all the bawdiness with which she tells ... Read More:
