The Witches of Eastwick

So I watched The Witches of Eastwick, something i don't recommend if you've recently watched The Shining- we'll get to that in a minute

Over the top-ly super star cast, hilarious Susan Sarandon hair, good look for Cher, but not everyone can pull it off

This was easily the best part of the film, I want to fling myself into chandeliers after gliding through the air with my new ability to fly, and i would definitely hang out on an inflatable zebra with a giant silver bowl of cherries in my lap in my best ballgown attire also, why the hell not

Ballroom full of balloons was pretty wicked

So yeah, whilst there are open jokes about Jack Nicholson not being handsome, the only way for it to be believable at all that he could seduce 3 such beautiful women COULD ONLY BE that he is the devil incarnate!

 I know it looks like I'm missing the point, but once you've seen good old Jack frozen in the Shining, you CANNOT unsee that!

All work and no play make Jack a dull boy

Worth viewing if only to perve on Michelle Pfeiffer, and for Cher's cute yellow hair clips, Nicholson is pretty funny in it, and the absolutely best hands down bit for me was Veronica Cartwright's performance, best fundy whackjob ever! She played young Cathy in The Birds!

Hitchcock's The Birds

Watched this again last night 

Tippi Hedren is stunning

It is hilarious in parts, and I'm not entirely sure how this was considered horrific since Birds seem like way less of a threat than more obvious predators such as clowns and politicians (no one would go see a film called The Politicians though would they?)

Hitchcock told her (Hedren)  they would use mechanical robotic birds, and on the first day of filming the scene of her in the attic, real birds were thrown at her face for hours at a time, it was a couple of days filming that scene because Hitchcock wanted the scene just right

It is swooping season in Canberra, so this is no laughing matter.

I am not a Barbie fan, but in this case, this is amazing, The Birds Barbie is wicked as, even her little suit is perfect!! Fan girl moment!

This is a seriously great costume idea, look how realistic those birds are! But in all seriousness, that would win a best costume if i were judging

Studied alot of Hitchcock in school. So i will save the lesson and hope that you all enjoy old films as much as i do 

This film even has a fundy whackjob in it, my favourite!
