I went on-line a few weeks back and entered a contest I saw advertised in People to win tickets to a sneak preview of this movie. I got my two passes in the mail yesterday. Cool! The sneak preview is on Weds., June 22. DH has no interest in this movie, so my gal pal and I will leave the kids with the hubbies and have a Girls' Night Out! Yippee! I'll try to remember to come here on Thursday morning and give you my review! Cheers!

What about Endora? Can't imagine anyone even trying to redo Agnes Moorehead. OT here is a bit of Trivia from IMDB regarding Agnes: She was one of the cast members of the ill fated film "The Conquerer", which was fimed in 1954 in the nevada desert close by to where the government was doing nuclear testing. In later years those tests were suspected to have caused the cancer deaths of several of the films stars including John Wayne, Dick Powell, Susan Hayward and Pedro Armendáriz. Interred at Dayton Memorial Park in Dayton, Ohio. Agnes Morehead's limousine is on display at the Peterson Automotive Museum in Los Angeles. Attended Muskingum College in New Concord, Ohio. The same college that produced astronaut 'John Glenn'. Entered New York's Academy of Dramatic Arts, studying alongside Rosalind Russell. Atended college in Muskingum, Ohio, and did graduate work at the University of Wisconsin. Taught in Reedsburg's central high school, and directed plays for the school dramatic club. Taught school and coached oratory in Soldiers Grove, Wisconsin, which team won numerous contests. Daughter of Reedsburg, Wisconsin's Presbyterian minister, Dr. John H. Moorehead. Favorite color was purple - she was so fond of the color friends called her the "lavender lady." Portrayed the first Margot Lane on Mutual Radio's "The Shadow" (1937-1939). She was an alumnus of Duluth Central High School in Duluth, Minnesota. Adopted son Sean with first husband Jack G. Lee. Initially turned down the role of Endora in "Bewitched", but reconsidered when Elizabeth Montgomery asked her in person, when they met in a department store. Moorehead joined the cast not expecting the show to last more than one season - let alone become a long-running hit. First woman to co-host the Academy Awards (with Dick Powell) in 1948 On the first season of filming Bewitched, she didn't like aspects of the script, but felt she couldn't complain to director William Asher because he was Elizabeth Montgomery's husband (at the time). Did not enjoy filming Bewitched, since it forced her to get up at 4:45 AM, start makeup at 6 AM, and continue filming often until 8 PM.

Sillycalimomma, where do you live? We'll be going to the Century Theater near Cal Expo (State Fairgrouds). I actually used to work there back in college, about a hundred years ago (mid-70's). It's been totally redesigned since I worked there, so looks totally different now. I worked there in 1975 when Jaws came out. People would freak out when they learned the admission price was $3.75 ($15 for a party of four). My mom, brother, son and I went to see Madagascar the other day in the afternoon (used to be cheaper to go to the "matinee"). Grand total: $25 for four, one of whom is a small child (4 1/2). Oh for the olden days! P.S. Julieboo, the part of Endora will be played by Shirley MacLaine. Good casting, I think!

babyjax- If that is the one on Ethan Way then that is where we will be! I can't wait. I was going to wait and see it on the 29th with a group of friends/family for my birthday, but now that I have the free tix we are just going to gather for a dinner at the Cheesecake Factory instead. ETA: OMG I just noticed in your profile that we live in the same town! Wow. Such a small world. We've lived here since 92!

Yay, TVCH is such a great community. Silly, I met Imbewitched because she lives so close to me. Hope you and Babyjaxmom find a way to meet, then be sure to note it in the 'Have you met any posters from TVCH' thread! Twinkie, Nicole just doesn't seem the type to play in a tv role type movie! I just viewed the trailer and it was cute.

Pamy, I never really looked at Nicole's nose before I saw her in The Hours. They made her hair black and pulled back which accentuated her nose with her fair complexion. Now she is calling attention to it again by wiggling it in Bewitched . Nicole has mostly done such serious roles, the Bewitched one is lighthearted and a change for her. Like I said, the trailer was cute, and I plan to see the movie.

I hear ya, but I figure she pulled off the campy Stepford wives she can do this. I think I am just rooting for her since I think Tom broke her heart, imo!

Urgrace, I think Nicole wore a prosthetic nose in The Hours. In real life her nose is much smaller and more normal-looking than it was in that movie. She really has the twitch down! I think Nicole is adorable. I'm with you, Pamy. I totally took her side when Tom dumped her. She is a class act. Ten years from now when Tom dumps Katie Holmes for someone younger, we'll all take her side, too.

I'm usually not into the big screen remakes of old tv shows but I loved watching Bewitched reruns when I was a kid. And this cast looks good so unless the reviews are utterly dreadful, I'll be there!

You didn't scare me, SC. I just never got around to answering you. Sorry! Yep, we've been in Rocklin about 3 years. I actually grew up in Sacramento, but was away for many years. We came back to be near my mom, who's still in good health but not getting any younger. Since we've been back, she's had cataract surgery on both eyes and a mastectomy, but she still has a busier social life than I do. Where does your daughter go to school? We just finished up at Rocklin Preschool and are on the wait list for Rocklin Academy (charter school). It's a very nice neighborhood. Hope you enjoy Bewitched tonight! I took my son to see Shark Boy and Lava Girl yesterday (he loved it, me not so much) and they showed a preview for Bewitched. I can't wait. It looks cute!

Babyjax-DD is in the GATE program at Rocklin Elementary. I really love that school, mainly because I love the principal-Mr. Trimble. DD was at Rock Creek for first grade and it was a bad experience so I was thrilled when she got into GATE and was able to go back to Rocklin Elementary. my brother took his son and my daughter to see the shark boy/lava girl movie which they LOVED but he said was the worst movie he had ever seen....so glad I missed that one! Lol... But I'll stop hijaking the movie thread talking about me! be back to let you all know how the movie goes!!

Maybe we should start a Shark Boy/Lava Girl thread. It had Kristen Davis and David Arquette in it, but they were both TERRIBLE (maybe it was the hoaky lines they had to say). The acting was awful by everyone, the kids were really precocious and annoying, but DS loved every minute and has been pretending to be Shark Boy ever since yesterday. It's a nice break from Darth Vader! (Haven't taken him to see that one, but he's seen the commercials.)

Well, we just got back from the movie. I missed a lot of things from the first half hour or so because unfortunately we sat ourselves right next to a family that brought a million children including one loud and unhappy baby. Luckily we also sat right next to the media/film critics and one of them told the couple they had to take the baby out of the theater. After that I was able to enjoy the movie and I did enjoy it. I have to admit it wasn't quite what I expected, but it was cute and had some pretty funny moments. Even DH enjoyed it. Just remember that it is not a remake of Bewitched. There are a ton of references to Bewitched and the original characters, but the storyline of this movie is really about Nicole Kidmans and Will Farrells characters. I was going to take DD to watch it, but now that i have seen it I think I may not. There's nothing really bad in it, but I prefer to shelter her a bit longer from some obscene words-which this movie did have.

SCM, what time did you arrive at the theater? My friend and I got there at 7:00 for the 7:30 showing and were told that the theater was FULL! One of the employees took my pass and my name/address and said they would mail me a couple of passes for a later showing. I was very disappointed! My friend and I ended up stopping on the way home at that new brew pub over by the Mall. Since we rarely get out without the kids, we decided to stop in and have a beer. Place was packed. Felt odd to be out with a friend rather than my DH. Haven't done that since my single days! Anyway, I was really disappointed not to get to see the movie, but maybe we'll see it later.

Oh the place was packed. We were lucky because we were downtown for something else around 4 so we just went to dinner and then went on over to the theater. We got there at 6:15 and there was already a huge line. By 7 the place was packed-every seat was taken. That's too bad that you missed the free showing. I haven't been to that new pub yet...isn't it called BJ's? There is always a line out the door it seems. Have you ever been to Moxie's downtown? (it's on H street) It's a great place-I highly recommend it for a nice romantic dinner with your DH.

Yeah, I think that is BJ's. Their signage is terrible, cause you can't read it! It was packed. We didn't even get to sit. My friend has been to the pub downtown, but we don't get down there very often. We're spoiled. DH works in Roseville, so we rarely have to use the freeways unless we're going downtown or to my mom's.
