With the new sequel out, I checked out the original 1998 brew of family drama, horror, comedy and romance about two witchy sisters, and enjoyed it far more than expected.

I’ve watched a few Christmas movies over the festive season, including this corny but charming 2006 romantic comedy about two women swapping homes and lives.
