DVD Review: Very Pleased
Summary: 5 Stars

I was very pleased at how fast this was shipped to me. It met all my expectations. I will definitely be ordering more from Amazon.com.

DVD Review: The Perfect Music Lesson
Summary: 4 Stars

We bought this film for our Music Department library because it contains a marvelous music lesson where Jack, playing the devil, gives Susan a cello lesson that comes straight from Hell. The Dvorak Cello Concerto never sounded so hot! Totally delicious and not to be missed because it teaches us about the passion of music making.

DVD Review: Fast Shipping
Summary: 5 Stars

I have bought from this vendor before. The package always arrives very fast and in great condition. I have absolutely no complaints. I will keep buying from this company. Thank you.

DVD Review: Nicholson is... Nicholson
Summary: 5 Stars

The movie is great fun and quite different from the book which is much blacker. The witches - Sarandon, Cher and Pfeiffer - are terrific but the devil - Nicholson - is a great example of his letting it all out but not going over the top. Best example is the scene in the church.

More than enjoyable and highly recommended.

Description of The Witches of Eastwick

Need someone with demonic dash to portray the Devil? There are only two choices. Old Ned himself. And Jack Nicholson. The Witches of Eastwick to the better actor-and came up with the sleekest, sexiest supernatural comedy/thriller to emerge from this or any other world, earning Nicholson 1987 Best Actor Awards from the New York and Los Angeles Film Critics. The "witches" are in three modern-day women yearning for Mr. Right in a quaint New England town full of Mr. Uptights. Played glowingly by Cher (Moonstruck), Susan Sarandon (Lorenzo's Oil) and Michelle Pfeiffer (The Age of Innocence), they're lovely enough to tempt even the most jaded netherworld denizen. Soon, wealthy Daryl van Horne (Nicholson) arrives. Is his sudden appearance a coincidence? Or the outcome of the women's unconscious sorcery in this smooth adaptation of John Updyke's novel? Conjure up an evening's entertainment with The Witches of Eastwick. And have a devil of a good time.

Jack Nicholson was born to play the devil, and in George Miller's adaptation of John Updike's novel he plays it for all he's worth. As a wolfish womanizer summoned by three bored women in a picturesque New England town, he's sating all of his appetites with a rakish grin. Cher, Susan Sarandon, and Michelle Pfeiffer play the women who discover their untapped magical powers by accident. The smart and sexy singles, out of place in the conservatism of their village, find happiness, however briefly, in the arms and bed of the libidinous devil, but he's got his own ulterior motives. Miller revels in the sensual display of sex, food, and magic, whipping up a storm of effects that finally get out of hand in an overblown ending. It's a handsome film with strong performances all around, but the mix of anarchic comedy and supernatural horror doesn't always gel and Miller seems to lose the plot in his zeal for cinematic excitement. The performances ultimately keep the film aloft: the hedonistic joy that Nicholson celebrates with every leering gaze and boorish vulgarity is almost enough to make bad form and chauvinism cool. --Sean Axmaker
