Product Description
Actor Griffin Dunne improves a bit on his first film as a director, Addicted to Love, with this drama-comedy about a family of witches. Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock play spell-casting sisters of different temperaments: the former is a high-living, free-spirited sort, while Bullocks character is a homebody who can not get around a family curse that kills the men in their lives. A widowed single mom, Bullock gets into a jam with an abusive Bulgarian (Goran Visnjic) and is helped out by her sibling, but the result brings a good-looking, warm, inquisitive cop (Aidan Quinn) into their lives. The film has a variety of tonal changes--cute, scary, glum--that Dunne can not always effectively juggle. But the female-centric, celebratory nature of the film (the fantasies, the sharing, the witchy bonds) is infectious, and supporting roles by Dianne Wiest and Stockard Channing as Kidman and Bullocks magical aunts are a lot of fun.

Negima, Vol. 3: Magic 301 - Practical Application of Magic (Episodes 11-14)

These episodes of Negima! revolve around the sort of romantic misunderstandings and slapstick confusions that made Ken Akamatsu's earlier comedy Love, Hina so popular. The ongoing storyline about half-pint wizard-in-training/Mahora Academy homeroom teacher Negi Springfield fighting the vampire Evangeline and her robot servant gets dropped in favor of shorter misadventures. Hasegawa learns she doesn't have pose as an online "Net Idol" to have friends; Negi and Konoka go shopping for a present for Asuna, and the rest of the class assumes they're on a date. The students of class 2-A also study for exams--not because they care about academics, but to ensure that Negi earns a favorable evaluation. These high jinks would play better if Negi were in college or at least as old as his students, rather than a fey 10-year-old. (Rated TV PG, suitable for ages 14 and older: nudity, risqué humor, cartoon violence) --Charles SolomonDescription
Life at Mahora Academy is anything but predicatble, a theorem which Negi Springfield and the girls of Class 2-A seem determined to test! When a class project incurs the wrath of one of their own, what follows is a virtual, digitally-enhanced popularity contest, no holds barred. How about a little war, World Wide Web style?
