Review of The Cat's Meow (2001) by John H — 20 Jul 2008
What is it with Kirsten Dunst and characters from history? Played Sara Weaver in a movie about Ruby Ridge. Played the young Anastasia (though only her voice). Later took this role as Marion Davies. Topping it off with Marie Antoinette. Next, she's set to play Marla Ruzicka, the ill-fated relief worker.
Anyway, I thought Dunst was OK, though Ed Herrmann was better as Hearst. The thing is, though, that it took forever to get to the murder and there wasn't much left to do once it happened. This would have been a lot better if the murder'd been moved up about 20 minutes. It would have been fun to see William Randolph Hearst sweat a bit more.
Caught this one on the Independent Film Channel, 7/20/08. You might find it there too.
