If Buffy the Vampire Slayer represents the lighter side of high school as a macabre experience, here's a movie that asks the burning question, What happens when angst-ridden teenagers develop supernatural powers? More to the point, how do four outcast teenaged witches handle their ability to cast wicked spells on the taunting classmates who've nicknamed them " The Bitches of Eastwick"? The answer, of course, is "don't get mad, get even." That's about all there is to this terminally silly movie, which makes up for its ludicrous plot by letting its young female cast have a field day as they indulge their dark fantasies. Fairuza Balk is enjoyable as the most wicked of the witches, & is therefore the focus of the film's most dazzling special effects. But it's Neve Campbell from television's Party of Five who made this film a modest box-office hit, just before she became her generation's fright-movie favourite in Scream & its popular sequel. ...

Yet its story is peopled by some of the most distinguished men of the last three centuries: Winston Churchill & Walt Disney; Wolfgang Mozart & Shaquille O' Neal; Benjamin Franklin & Buzz Aldrin; Rudyard Kipling & ' Buffalo Bill' Cody; Duke Ellington & the Duke of Wellington. Founded in London in 1717 as a set of character-forming ideals & a way of binding men in fellowship, Freemasonry proved so addictive that within two decades it had spread across the globe. Masonic influence became pervasive. Under George Washington, the Craft became a creed for the new American nation. Masonic networks held the British empire together. Under Napoleon, the Craft became a tool of authoritarianism & then a cover for revolutionary conspiracy. Both the Mormon Church & the Sicilian mafia owe their origins to Freemasonry. The Masons were as feared as they were influential. In the eyes of the Catholic C... ...
