Beloved
Starring Oprah Winfrey and Danny
Glover
Directed by Jonathan Demme
Rated R
Playing at Hollywood 1 6
Ten years ago, a little-known actress re
ceived an Oscar nomination and then disap
peared from the silver screen.
While many Hollywood bigwigs may con
sider a decade gap between movie projects to
be an insurmountable obstacle, all the rules
are thrown out the door when the actress is
Oprah Winfrey.
Beloved marks Winfrey’s return to the
screen with a Pulitzer-winning novel by Toni
Morrison. The adaptation is a vision of rare
complexity and haunting imagery.
While Winfrey’s performance in Beloved
occasionally lacks emotional continuity, it is
amazing to see how she surrenders herself to
the part of Sethe, a runaway slave living in
Ohio. Glover gives the film a sense of stability
it otherwise would have lacked as Paul D.
The emotional revelations of Beloved come
from the newcomers Thandie Newton and
Kimberly Elise. Newton plays the mysterious
Beloved and Elise plays Sethe’s emotionally-
stunted daughter Denver.
The film deals with ghosts and the super
natural and while most directors would give
these ghosts a sense of fear or terror,
Demme’s direction draws out the quiet sad
ness of a tortured soul with flashbacks that
are yellow with age but bellow the agony of
slavery and loss.
Sure to be a favorite among Oscar voters next
March, Beloved vividly brings to life one of
America’s most-revered authors. (Grade: A-)

Practical Magic
Starring Sandra Bullock and Nicole
Kidman
Directed by Griffen Dunne
Rated PG-1 3
Playing at Hollywood 16
Practical Magic is a fun movie based on Al
ice Hoffman’s novel that tells the story of two
New England sisters, Sally (Bullock) and
Gillian (Kidman), and the trials of their lives.
These two sisters add a twist to the story —
they are witches who come from a long line of
witches starting from the days of the Puritans.
From casting spells to gaining acceptance
of their hometown, these sisters have little life
adventures throughout the movie.
This is a fun movie and is something to
see when audiences are not looking
too hard.
The plot is easy to follow and the
fairly good, until the last 30 minutes
movie when the writers seem
tie up all the small subplots.
Overall, it is worth the two hours.(tai
