The Witches of Eastwick film is now on Blu-ray

As of Tuesday, July 6, The Witches of Eastwick, the 1987 film adaptation starring Jack Nicholson, Cher, Susan Sarandon, and Michelle Pfeiffer, is available on Blu-ray. Warner Brothers released it as the “B” movie on a Comedy Double Feature that also includes Practical Magic, a 1998 film starring Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman as sisters hexed by a centuries-old curse . . . and zombies.

The Witches of Eastwick comes off best, wittier, funnier, and it alone is worth the price of the disc,” writes John J. Puccio of DVDTown.com. “The Witches of Eastwick is at its best whenever Nicholson or [Veronica] Cartwright are on the screen,” Puccio writes, though Updike went on record as saying that he thought Pfeiffer was the best. “Maybe it’s not as subtle or elegant as Updike’s book, but it should keep most audiences occupied with its exuberant, supernatural battle of the sexes,” Puccio adds.
