The Witches Of Eastwick (1987)
Cher has spent most of the 80s by starring in a string of films, rather than spending the 80s in the recording studio. She has released a few albums in the 80s, which were 'I Paralyze' in 1982, 'Cher' in 1987 (her second album that was self-titled), and 'Heart Of Stone' in 1989. In 1987, Cher has starred in three movies back to back, which were 'Suspect', where she played Kathleen Riley, 'Moonstruck', where she played Loretta Castorini, and 'The Witches Of Eastwick', where she played Alexandra Medford. The Witches Of Eastwick is a comedy-thriller, containing elements of comedy, fantasy, love, desire, and a little touch of horror.
Taking place in the small town of Eastwick, where nothing really exciting happens, three girlfriends Alexandra 'Alex' Medford (played by Cher), Jane Spfford (played by Susan Sarandon), and Sukie Ridgemont (played by Michelle Pfeiffer) are in desperate need of men who will give them the love they are longing for. All three were married, but they each suffered the three D's: Death, Desertion, Divorce. Alex's husband has passed on: Death. Sukie's husband has left her: Desertion. And Jane's husband had divorced her: Divorce. On a rainy Thursday night, Sukie and Jane drive up to Alex's house to have a girls night out. While drinking martini's and discussing how much they need men in their lives, they start describing what they really want in a man. That literally draws a stranger to Eastwick. He has just bought the Lenox mansion, an old mansion that was owned by Mr. Lenox before he died. Jane is a cello player, and while giving a performance, with all of Eastwick watching, they all meet the stranger. Everyone is interested him, but they all do not know his name. Sukie works for the Eastwick paper and has been asked to interview the stranger, but cannot remember his name.. Alex and Sukie see Jane holding a boque of flowers. Jane says they are from the stranger, but on the card is just the initial D. Sukie suddenly remembers that his name started with a D, and then remembers that there is also an R in the name, as well as an L. She finally remembers his full name: Daryl Van Horne (played by Jack Nicholson). Daryl meets the three women individually, starting with Alex. He invites her to lunch and shows the personalities that Alex has hated in every man she has ever met, but as much as she wants to hate him for his personalities, she can't help but want him in every sexual way. And that, Daryl proves when the two spend the night together. He then meets Jane. He is enthused by Jane's cellist playing. But tells her that her bowing sucks. As he teaches her to let the passion out, Jane becomes more than turned on and spends the night with Daryl. Alex and Sukie go on up to the mansion, where the find Jane there as well. Alex and Jane, still very much turned on, and somewhat in love, find Daryl turning on the charm when he finally meets Sukie. The four go for a tennis match, leading them to take a swim in Daryl's in-door pool, where Sukie and Daryl spend the night together. Three become Daryl's latest flames. But as they continue to have a good time with Daryl, evil things around Eastwick begin happening, such as the death of Felicia Alden (played by Veronica Cartwright), the annoying wife of Sukie's boss, Clyde Alden (played by Richard Jenkins). The three of them decide to cut off Daryl, for they realize that Daryl is not a man, but the Devil Himself...literally. How can they send Daryl howling back to Hell? Watch this fun-filled comedy and find out.
They cast a spell on me..
This film has an ensmble cast to end all ensemble casts.. what more could you ask for.. Jack nicholson as the devil.. Cher, Susan Sarandon, and (the impeccable) Michelle Pfiefer as three sultry sexy witches.. Darrel Van Horn comes to the town of Eastwick when he is summoned by three witches who have been scorned or hurt by the men they loved.. Cher Plays Alex, whose husband died and left her to raise a daughter by herself.. Michelle plays Suki, a newspaper journalist whose husband abandoned her because she got preganant all the time.. and Susan plays Jane, the divorced elemntary school music teacher.. Van Horn moves into each of their lives his own way and shows them the potential they always felt was there.. once the girls realize what is really going on, they exact their revenge.. A great, fun and Witty movie.. a must see..
