The Best of Kirsten Dunst
Review
by: Fred
Garvin
With the
recent release of crazy/beautiful, starring the crazy
and beautiful Kirsten Dunst, I fell it's time to take a look
back at two recent films of hers now available on video and
DVD.
 Bring
It On
Of the
recent slew of cheerleader movies of the early '00s, Bring
It On is the best. Nothing against But I'm A Cheerleader
or Sugar & Spice, but Dunst's presence elevates this
film to a new level. All feature must-needs (Cheers, lesbian
innuendoes and cheerleaders in their underwear, especially
in the locker room), but Bring It On shows Kirsten
Dunst in her underwear. Now that's a plus. By the way, you
see Kirsten in her underwear in the trailers for crazy/beautiful.
How cool is that?
 The
Virgin Suicides
She is
one of three sisters from a private and untouchable family
and the object of all the boys in the neighborhood's affection.
It's set in the 1970's, she there's some period clothes (but
not as bad as That '70s Show), but Dunst wears something
that never goes out of style; school uniforms. You know, white
shirt, plaid skirt, and knee-high stockings. If she would
have tied her shirt in a knot, she could be in a Britney Spears
video.
Now let
me clear one thing up. Only recently have I had a crush on
Miss Dunst. I am not one of those pervs who was drooling over
her during Interview with the Vampire and Little
Women. I waited until she was of legal age before I let
my affections be known, although seeing her tied up in Small
Soldiers was a strong test of temptation. She reminds
me of a young Lee Remick, who's in the Hottie Hall of Fame
(Anatomy of a Murder, Days of Wine and Roses),
especially in the eyes. Come to think of it, there's a friend
of my daughter's…I mean, a friend of my wife's who looks a
little like Kirsten. Let's see, cheerleading costume, rope,
duct tape…
I'm sorry,
where was I? Oh yeah, Bring It On is kind of funny
and Virgin Suicides is kind of boring and the ending's
a bummer (Hello? Title…) and that's how I see it.
