THE WITCHES OF EASTWICK
August 9, 2013  | By David Bianculli

Encore, 8:00 p.m. ET

 

This playful 1987 film version of the John Updike novel about a New England coven of modern witches teamed a terrific threesome – Susan Sarandon, Michelle Pfeiffer and Cher – and showed them all falling under the demonic spell of Jack Nicholson, as none other than the Devil. Great casting all around: the women all get to go through memorably chameleonic transformations, and Nicholson, better than almost any actor, can play sinister and seductive at the same time, in equally effective measure.
