"The Cat's Meow"


Day 1 of 2012 and I thought I would begin again with some daily films I've watched.

This is one I've seen a few times before, but I enjoyed Peter Bogdanovich's, "The Cat's Meow" and I know it's historical fiction, possibly rumor and gossip, about the death of film pioneer Thomas Ince, who met his demise on media mogul William Randolph Hearst's yacht… But there's something about it I enjoy. Mainly, it's Eddie Izzard's portrayal of Charlie Chaplin.

I know it's not a great film, or even a good movie, but for me Eddie Izzard is wonderful in it and it really begs for more of him. Kirsten Dunst is also very good as William Randolph Hearst's mistress Marion Davies and her singing at the end credits is pretty awesome.
