Movie Reviews of The Cat's Meow
Movie Review: An entertaining slice of Hollywood gossip.
Summary: 5 Stars
Despite some of the negative reviews I've read, I find this movie to be very well done. I think Kirsten Dunst did a great job playing Marion Davies, despite the fact that Dunst was much younger than the character was in the movie. Eddie Izzard did a great job as Charlie Chaplin, playing Chaplin as a real person and not as a "Little Tramp" caricature. Joanna Lumley as the eccentric Elinor Glyn is my personal favorite in the movie... her telling the others of the "California Curse" in one scene was fascinating, and her narration of the beginning and end of the movie was perfectly done.
The story is one of Hollywood legend, told in whispers, and it's great that the story is alive again thanks to this great movie. I highly recommend it, and at its low price, it's a pretty good deal.
One more thing... check out Woody Allen's Zelig. At one point you can find the actual Marion Davies and Charlie Chaplin together! An interesting link between two fantastic movies...
Movie Review: excellent

Movie Review: a olden type movie
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie takes place in the past, the 50's I think and on a boat. It's just a bunch of actors and writers and rich people. Kirten Dunset plays a young actress, I think Maryln Monroe (I think the other characters call her Maryln). She is very good int his role because it requires her to ACT! SHe has to be both serious and funny when people arent looking. Alos on the boat is an actor named Charlie who is having an affair with Kirsten. Overall a good movie, but its a who dun it?! A who dun it is when theres a crime and nobody knows who did it and the audience has to figure it out like a puzzle. American Beauty was a who dun it and so is this movie. It hink its a cheat cause the writers theysleves dont know who dun it, but if yoiu can ignore that and you are a fan of old movie type ACTING, then The cat's Meow is for you.Movie Review: a little known gem
Summary: 5 Stars
this movie slipped right by me. i'm usually up on everything that comes out but i was barely aware of this lil' gem. kirstin dunst portrays perfectly the care-free actress marion davies. she could've taken home a statue for her role in this. edward herrmann is a great WRH........mr. izzard issues a smart charlie chaplin.....carey elwes-all excellent, right on down to the 2nd tier players and bit parts.
this movie makes me feel good about the director peter B.
something similar to david lynch with his excellent mulholland drive which burst forth from the sleeping giant like a fresh daisy-i'm sure Peter is very proud of this little gem.
must make mention of the exciting bonus's on the dvd. interviews, featurette, a chaplin short, making of.........many goodies and juicy treats for the cat's meow.
Movie Review: Not a Classic...BUT a Great 5 Stars
I love Wan-a-beeee's of any kinds. But KarmaPolice....goes to a new Wan-a-be level...of Shut-up. This film is great entertainment....it really proves that the rich have not changed and never will change.....ie. Paris Hilton to name one. The murder of Ince or was it the death of Ince is what this movie is all about...also the decadence the unbridled waste of the the rich...and don't forget the saying "money can buy anything" in this case it was SILENCE. This is not a classic...like "Cat on a hot tin roof"......but in a way it is a free tour of what Money can buy.......So Buyer beware. Great Movie.
