This one is a little bit weird because I do own this movie but I did watch it in the theaters. I love Regal's movie theater and they opened for a few months and then closed back down again. I am still bitter about it because I love going to the movies. I love eating the popcorn. I love just sitting there and watching something that is going to enrapture me for just a few hours. When we got the word that they were shutting down again I went to see one last movie before they closed. They closed like on Thursday and I was super busy that week and could only go on Monday after work. The movie I went to see was Hocus Pocus.
Three witches are trying to steal the lives of children so that they may live forever as young beautiful maidens. However, their plans get foiled when they take Emily Binx. he older brother, Thackery, followers her to try and saver her but he gets there too late. When he is discovered he fights the witches and tries to prevent anymore deaths. For is actions they turn him into a cat that can never die. Right after they seal is fate, the villagers find the witches and kill them for their crimes but not before a prophecy is told. In 300 years they will return when a virgin lights the black flame candle.
My mom hates this movie. She thinks is very annoying. I love this movie because it's funny, cute, and the cast is wonderful! I hate scary movies so watching this brings me great joy every Halloween. This year it did hit a bit different. I was mad when I went to see the movie because I knew this was the last movie for who knows how long. So, I wanted to sit away from everyone and pout a bit and watch this happy movie. I got my seat before I went to the theater, picked the back row in the corner away from everyone else and was set to go. When I got there two people ended up in my row. I should explain how this theater was set but was it's a split back row so there are two shorter back rows against the wall. Anyway, I got there and people were sitting with me. I was just going to ignore them and be on my phone until the movie started. However, movie theaters are magical places. The two people were a young couple, about my age, and the girl asked me if I had seen this movie before. I told that I did and it's one of my favorites, and I watch it every year at this time but I had not seen it in the theater. She then tells me that her boyfriend has never seen it. We got a little conversation about it in before the movie. I start to feel less angry and just to sad about the movies leaving for a while by the end of the film. It was great being near them because She had not seen it in a very long time and because they both were not as familiar with it they laughed really head, and had a great time seeing the movie. I enjoyed them enjoying the film so much.
My favorite part of the movie has always been Bette Midler singing 'I Put a Spell On You'. I also am a sucker for musicals so that's not the shocking at all. However, the reason I say this is because that song is played twice in the movie. Once at the party scene where every knows, and again when the credits are rolling. I forgot about the second time it plays. So, I am asking the couple what they thought of the movie and talking to them for a bit as the movies ends and the last fun scene of the parents finally leaving the party, and then the song starts playing. as I am walking down the stairs and our to the exit, the end of the song that says "say bye-bye" comes on. I really did stop and had to make sure that this wasn't me hearing something. In my life movies are a major plot that is played. So, anytime I have a moment when the soundtrack that happens to fit in live perfectly is an amazing moment. In that moment, this is going to sound stupid and cheesy I know, the movies were say "bye" to me.
It's been just over a month and I am still sad that my Movie Mondays have not happen. I am so ready for them to open again and I hope that it's soon. However, that one moment of "movie magic" I got in real life will hold me over for a while.
