Movie Reviews of The Cat's Meow

Movie Review: An interesting, enjoyable 'what-if' whodunnit
Summary: 5 Stars

Peter Bogdanovitch skillfully retells one of Hollywood's great legends, of an apparent murder carried out on media tycoon William Randolph Hearst's yacht in September, 1924. Kirstin Dunst is brilliantly cast as Hearst's lifelong mistress, actress Marion Davies, and the supporting cast in this fluid, Altman-esque ensemble piece is also quite strong. The script could have been more merciless towards Hearst (longtime nemesis of Bogdanovitch's patron, Orson Welles), but the humanity it imparts on the bazillionaire is what makes this a real film, and not just another movie. Nice to see an old pro back in the saddle!

Movie Review: Sounds Good!
Summary: 5 Stars

I can't wait to see this movie! I've been a huge fan of Kirsten Dunst ever since she was in Little Women, a fan of Cary Elwes since Robin Hood: Men in Tights and The Princess Bride, and a fan of Edward Herman since I first saw the Gilmore Girls! Finally someone put all of them together! As of today, I only have to wait 11 more days until its opening!

Movie Review: An interesting look at a Hollywood mystery
Summary: 5 Stars

We'll never know what happened that mysterious weekend, and Bogdanovich gives us one viewpoint as to what happened. The cast is superb, as are the sets and score. For film fans, this is a treat. If you don't agree with the synopsis, that's okay. This is a great tale of what COULD have been.
