Bette Midler

In it two actors, Judge Reinhold and Helen Slater, became so financially desperate that they kidnapped a rich man's wife (Midler) and held her for ransom. What made the movie so wonderful was that instead of being serious, it was a comedy. The rich man, played by Danny DeVito, wouldn't pay the ransom because he was happy to get rid of his wife. The kidnappers were really softhearted and sympathetic to Midler. She, in turn, was so outraged by her husband that she helped them collect the ransom! In the end, everyone went as their heart (not their heads) dictated and it was great fun for the audience. Of course, it was just the movies. Real life usually isn't as kind or as much fun. However, there was an element of truth in the story that's well taken here; namely, nice people trying to act ruthless can benefit themselves. Inevitably, their hearts won out, as may be the case when we buy a home. Before that happened, they at least attempted to let their heads direct their actions. Now I'm not suggesting…

In college Louise has a roommate named Carrie who works to help Louise…

Award-winning author and feminist Ursula K. Le Guin delivered a rhetorically complex speech to the Mills College graduating class of 1983, comprised almost entirely of women. Her speech came at a challenging time for women, as second-wave feminism began to dissolve into a myriad of disagreeing factions. The title of the speech, the “Left-Handed Commencement Address,” is a reference to her book The Left Hand of Darkness, which follows an androgynous race of space aliens. This foreshadows the…

Midler was also clear that she would not return to the movie for any amount of money. Also, there were some comments on how her character would be cast, and many fans have agreed that Winifred Sanderson will be tough shoes to fill. Hocus Pocus is all about the Sanderson sisters and this resurrection may not do the original justice. The assumption is that the Hocus Pocus reboot will be made to coincide along with other Disney Channel original movies. Right now, they have the Halloweentown series…

aware of his existence meaning more might believe in what he believes in also. So the author's main purpose was to show how social media can greatly increase the popularity and awareness of politicians and their campaigns. I already don’t agree with Trump or his views but one thing that I don’t agree with in the article is when Trump says, “I would have preferred I didn’t send it… That sometimes you do things in fun and they turn out to be hurtful and I don’t like doing that”. Personally, I…

Starting with the three Sanderson sisters which are played by Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kathy Najimy which pull the stops out when playing the three Sanderson sisters. As well as their defeaters which are played by Omri Katz (Max), Thora Birch, Vinessa Shaw, and Sean Murray. However, this film really wouldn’t be the film it is today without the legendary Kenny Ortega which directed Hocus Pocus. This film does a phenomenal job at grabbing anyone’s attention to the film either it’s…

Rae Jepsen on Broadway in 2013 as the titular character in Rodgers and Hammerstein’s, Cinderella. Brantley does not discourage these productions like most snobby theatregoers do. “It seems curmudgeonly—and too easy—to dismiss celebrity-driven productions on Broadway,” Brantley said, claiming that a “successful star-driven production [can] surpass the expected delivery of star glamour.” Meaning, that if a show can produce a performance of quality that overpowers their publicity vehicle than it…
