On October 16, 1998, Practical Magic was released in theaters and the world of cinema was changed forever. Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman played sisters raised in a family of witches, but, sadly, magic couldn't solve all their problems. In fact, they were followed by a curse that ensured any man they fell in love with would "die an untimely death." Though the critics weren't kind at the time of the movie's release (it currently holds a 20% "rotten" rating on the review aggregator site Rotten Tomatoes), the comedy/romance/horror flick has since become a cult hit, which led to a pretty heavy dose of excitement when the movie's two star's reunited at the 90th Academy Awards and discussed their times together on set.


Kidman crept up on Bullock when she was least expecting it!

Fans immediately lost any semblance of cool they'd been holding on to...

The movie was lambasted when it was release in theaters. Entertainment Weekly labelled it a movie "so slapdash, plodding, and muddled it seems to have had a hex put on it." However, as the film's director, Griffin Dunne, has watched it become beloved among many young women. He told Vulture what it was like watching his greatest failure become one of his greatest successes:

When my daughter was in her late teens, I started to notice that her friends loved the movie and quoted the movie and would freak out when they found out that her father directed the movie. I watched it grow and grow and it's been very touching and unexpected. I've gone out with women who have watched this movie every year with their daughters. It's a lovely kind of surprise.

The pair is as glamorous as ever - what better time to mount a reboot?

After all, it seems the movie also meant a lot to its two stars.

Real 'Practical Magic' fans seemed to enjoy the impromptu reunion more than the actual awards ceremony.

If a movie executive out there is looking to reboot a 90's movie property, there may not be a better time! The 90's films that have been given a second chance (either as a reboot or a shot-for-shot remake) include Beauty & the Beast, Point Break, Total Recall, Jumanji, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Full House, Hey Arnold!, The Lion King, and many more.

Fingers crossed the Owens sisters are next in line for a magical revival!

Fox News Host Apologizes After His Suggestion That Homeless People Be Euthanized Sparks Outrage

Fox and Friends host Brian Kilmeade was criticized for suggesting that homeless people with mental health issues get "involuntary lethal injection" after the murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska on a train in North Carolina—and was swiftly condemned for an insincere apology several days after the fact as many are calling for Fox News to terminate his contract.

Zarutska was stabbed to death at the East/West Boulevard station on the Lynx Blue Line in Charlotte last month; her killer, a homeless man with a history of mental health issues, has since been charged with first-degree murder.

Nancy Mace Just Tried To Claim She's Never 'Dehumanized' Her Colleagues—And The Internet Brought The Receipts

South Carolina Republican Representative Nancy Mace was called out for hypocrisy after she claimed on CNN that Democrats in Congress have been "dehumanizing" Republicans, a move she would "never" do—despite her record of doing just that.

Speaking to anchor Katie Bolduan while the search for the suspect who killed far-right activist Charlie Kirk was ongoing, Mace objected to Bolduan's observation that she was using "us v. them" language, only saying that things are "very one-sided right now." She also suggested that the situation is so bad for her that she's actually afraid of "just walking out in public."
