Magic Hour

Piper has doubts whether she ought to marry Leo or not, when the Halliwell sisters meet the stranger Christopher that becomes an owl by night whilst his lover Brookes takes the form of a wolf by day. Brooke explains that her boss was a sorcerer demon that cursed the couple of lovers because he wanted her for him. While the sisters try to break the spell, they believe that during an eclipse, Leo and Piper could get married without The Powers That Be finding out. But the Evil Triad is aware of their intentions.

In spite of being a rip-off of "Ladyhawke", "Magic Hour" is a good episode of "Charmed". The role of Cole Turner in the series is disclosed, and together with the participation of Penny 'Grams' Halliwell and the mysterious fate of Leo, will certainly improve the next shows. My vote is eight.

Title (Brazil): "A Hora Mágica" ("The Magic Hour")

Not one of my favorite episodes. The cursed two lovers and the evil villain take center stage. Christopher and Brooke are a young, beautiful couple yet they are bland from their look, mannerism and the story isn't interesting. Boss isn't fully fleshed out on who or what he is and comes off as goofy. He doesn't leave a lasting impression and before you know it his chapter concludes. My main interest mostly stayed on the sisters or Cole whenever they appeared. I like how selfless they've become and their caring nature. Isn't that what a hero is suppose to be? They finally found a niche that works and have grown close together instead of torn apart by circumstances beyond their control.

I can see why it was created to parallel what is going on in the sisters lives, but it didn't work for me and has been done better before. I really went in with an open mind and felt bored the entire time.

Even some of the phrases word for word are taken from that movie and the plot right down to the bird being shot by an arrow and waiting till night (human form) to remove it and the eclipse being the answer to ending the curse, all they did was make the woman the wolf by night instead of the man and made the man and owl by day instead of the woman being a hawk by day. Almost a complete rip off of the 1985 movie Ladyhawke staring a young (and hot!) Rutger Hauer, Michelle Pfeiffer and a very young Matthew Broderick ( a year before Ferris Bueller's Day Off ) .... Excellent movie, one of my favorites growing up that unfortunately doesn't get the recognition it deserves. I can't believe no one else has caught this similarity and posted about it yet!
