Patience Watson One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.

Anton Korngold This big-haired adaptation of John Updike's feminist text stars Cher and I found it to surpass the novel. It is impeccably cast with Cher, Susan Sarandon and Michelle Pfeiffer as a trio of divorcees and spinsters wronged by almost every man in their life unwittingly conjure Jack Nicholson, - the perfect man - who is revealed as the living Devil, after a conversation at night over several glasses of wine. Nicholson gives a career-defining performance as a comically insane seductor. Its less about witchcraft and more about loneliness and boredom in mid-life suburbia. Veronica Cartwright is also incredible.

leplatypus especially Needful Things because it's a devil coming to a small town to unleash chaos and mayhem! As all devils, he seduces, especially women (this is the strange point here, this one is obsessed about their creation!)… I was sure to have a good with Michelle and it was: Cher left me always cold with her look obsession but here she has something interesting while Sarandon is a bit less dreadful than usual... Honeslty Nicholson is disappointing because he stays the same: the grace of a elephant in a porcelain store : he seems stuck to maximum volume: it's great when he is upset but it's too much otherwise and useless when the scene needs subtlety. I don't really understand his look here and it seems unlikely a devil needs a book to trick! Special effects by ILM are sometimes awful (tennis game), Williams score is average if not close to Harry Potter: so not a perfect movie, but great on girl power and sometimes more punchy than the King himself!

SnoopyStyle Alex Medford (Cher) is a sculptor and a single mom. Jane Spofford (Susan Sarandon) is a cellist, music teacher, divorced and barren. Sukie Ridgemont (Michelle Pfeiffer) is a local columnist and alone with six daughters. The three single friends lament the lack of quality men and share their dream man wishes. Then the mysterious wild Daryl Van Horne (Jack Nicholson) arrives with his manservant Fidel buying the Lennox Mansion which is suppose to be the site of witch burnings. He seduces the three women unleashing their inner power. Felicia Alden (Veronica Cartwright) is the religious wife of newspaper editor Clyde Alden (Richard Jenkins) who is Sukie's boss.Firstly, Jack Nicholson is perfectly cast for this role. The problem is that I hate this character. I find him annoying and really off-putting. He's not fun to watch. There is something more than simply evil that is grating on my nerves. It makes the movie hard to watch although the story is interesting. I just don't find it fun.

GoUSN I suppose having Jack Nicholson play the usual Jack Nicholson character was thought by some to be a casting coup - and a masterpiece would be born. Cher. Sarandon. Pfeiffer. A real casting coup. All they needed was a script.They didn't get it with this dreck. The Hayes Code is long gone, but movies like this tell us why codes evolve in the first place: hideousness built on wretchedness heaped on tastelessness served on poor writing pretending to be clever and wry. With Satan as obnoxious centerpiece.When anything can be filmed and standards evaporate, shock shlock results - attention earned not by great dialogue, clever sets, smart comedy, but by puking, mocking, and dialogue out of a bad True Detective parody.Satan comes into the lives of three women in small-town America. In one choice vignette, he gives a mocking, foul speech in a church. In another, he gives a mocking foul speech . . . Well you get the drift. Foul speech, puke, foul speech, puke, interspersed with not the slightest bit of cleverness. A high school film project effort where the teacher never showed up to advise.Hideous.
