So, witches are cool now because of Oz The Great And Powerful. But, come on! Witches have always been cool. They hang about in girl gangs, never suffer fools and have actual powers. Admittedly, Michelle Williams, Mila Kunis and Rachel Weisz (aka The Hottest Woman Of All Time) make one pretty exciting coven in Oz, but here are five other reasons to be fans of witches on film…

BetteBack January 19, 1978: Broken Blossom Review

Bette Midler isn’t called “divine” without reason.

She has a natural talent that doesn’t need any adornments, as demonstrated on “Broken Blossoms” (Atlantic SD 19151).

However, Miss Midler enhances her divine style with imaginative vocals on “Make Yourself Comfortable” and “La Vie En
Rose.”

Other tuneful melodies in this selection are “Say Goodbye to Hollywood,” “Paradise,” “Empty Bed Blues” and “A Dream Is a
Wish Your Heart Makes.” Read More

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. They were always my favorites as a kid. Read More

The secret life of humans

The secret life of humans
By BECCA BALINT

True confession: I’m a Bette Midler fan. Wait! Stay with me for a moment I’m not referring to Midler’s sappy “Wind Beneath My Wings” phase. (I couldn’t get through her “Beaches” period without a shot of tequila, and even then it was difficult.) I mean the unpolished Midler of the New York City bathhouse days: Sophie Tucker jokes and outrageous costumes like giant hotdogs and mermaids performing choreographed routines in motorized wheelchairs. Irreverent. Unpredictable. Creative. Edgy. Simply put: Great fun! You can’t tell from looking at me that I will always carry a torch for that bawdy 1970s torch singer. Read More
