the star of this dirge is a banana head named fran kranz, whose onscreen charisma is an undetectable secret. the benign direction is by gillian greene and the idiotic script is by christian magalhaes and robert snow, all of whom hail from the brain - dead world of hollywood sitcoms. i am hesitant to mention any of them for fear that they might work again. on second thought, with murder of a cat as evidence, there’s not much danger of that. none of it makes one lick of sense. but it’s a low - budget hollywood write - off, so what do you want for a nickel ?

murder past due is a reasonably fun but unremarkable cosy mystery. the main draws would be the cat, diesel, who is a main character, and the fact that it’s set partially in a library. but the cat isn’t the detective and isn’t the main character, and the library is just where the main character works, so it’s not that niche. i didn’t find any of the characters or their relationships particularly compelling, though the small - town usa atmosphere was kind of interesting — i kept being surprised when
“murder of a cat” is that rare post - “little miss sunshine” laffer that could actually stand to be quirkier. somehow, despite all the eccentric bathrobes and vintage sweaters and bad wigs, despite the involvement of “sunshine” star greg kinnear and “juno” vet j. k. simmons, this weird little detective story never quite manages to establish its own [ … ]

requirement has instead introduced me to a fun series! this book is part of a cat in the stacks mystery and is the first of the series. the book is told from the perspective of charlie, who works with rare books at the local college. he inherited a house and always has a couple of college boarders living there. he is also the friend and provider for a wonderful maine coon cat named diesel. i loved the way the author wrote about diesel and how he has charmed most all of the town. charlie takes him almost everywhere and it is fun to read about how diesel interacts with others. i found the mystery that needed to be solved in this book to be very interesting. it is a murder and there are so many suspects because the person murdered really had a lot of enemies. i thought i had it figured out, but i didn' t. the author truly surprised me at the end when the murderer was arrested and even added another twist to the story that i didn' t anticipate. i am glad to have found out about this series. murder past due was a fun read .

parents need to know that murder of a cat is an indie comedy / whodunit about a quirky loner who' s obsessed with finding his beloved pet cat' s killer. starring fran kranz from cabin in the woods and nikki reed of twilight fame, the movie isn' t likely on too many teens' radar. the language is strong - -
f - - k ,
s - - t ,
a - - hole ,
c - - ksucker ,
etc. - - and the violence surprisingly heavy (characters are held at gunpoint, beaten up, chased, and, in the case of the titular cat, killed). there' s also one sex scene, plus references to masturbation, voyeurism, adultery, and an older mom' s affair with a cop. expect a little smoking and drinking, too .
this wasn' t a bad book, but it just wasn' t my cup of tea either. a cozy mystery set in a small mississippi town: a local man, disliked by many, has made it big as a writer and gets murdered when he comes back to town. charlie harris, a widowed librarian, and his cat diesel set out to help the authorities solve the crime. if you enjoy books where you get to read about the many mundane details of daily life: who pets the cat, who accepts or decline refreshments, when someone changes clothes, the c

despite the presence of actors like simmons, greg kinnear and blythe danner, this trying - too - hard comedy is as annoying as chasing a ball at the end of a bouncy string .
a very quick question. would this book be appropriate for a 12 year old that is really into cats and likes reading? i understand that there is murder involved but i want to make sure that there is nothing extremely graphical or morally questionable that you would not want 12 year old exposed to ?
heavy on quirk and light on wit, first - time director gillian greene’s comedy leans too heavily on the badly wigged kranz, whose whiny and obsessive mannerisms make you wonder why reed’s character shows any interest in him. greene’s got a game supporting cast in blythe danner as clinton’s mom, j. k. simmons as the town sheriff and greg kinnear as a suspicious owner of a superstore, but they’re all hampered by the screenplay’s lack of bite. swing a dead cat here and you’ll hit a piece of limp dialogue .

he’s clinton moisey (fran kranz), a grown man who still lives with his mother (blythe danner) and seems to spend most of the day in his bathrobe. when he finds his beloved cat dead — shot with a crossbow — he becomes a self - appointed private eye in the “bored to death” tradition and tries to solve the crime .
it also features one of the most irritating lead characters in recent memory in the form of clinton (fran kranz), a 20 - something man - child who still lives with his mother (danner) and who spends his unlimited free time peddling his line of homemade toys at garage sales. clinton’s only apparent friend is mouser, his 17 - year - old cat, who, as the title makes clear, winds up dead, the victim of a crossbow attack .
fran kranz (“the cabin in the woods”) is clinton, a schlubby, unemployed action - figure designer living in the basement of his mom’s house in this wannabe indie noir. finding his beloved cat mouser killed by a crossbow’s bolt stirs clinton into action. soon he’s joining forces with a young woman (nikki reed) with whom, it turns out, mouser was living a double life. together, they uncover what looks like a townwide criminal scam, in which the felled feline was a casualty .
in his nonconfrontational interview with carter, simpson said some curious things, which indicate how near to the surface of his psyche the particulars of the trial reside. in one instance, speaking about prosecutor marcia clark, he said that he’d “like to be able to knock that chip off marcia’s shoulder”—a curious turn of phrase for an acknowledged wife beater. in another, speaking about the nbc interview he had backed out of, he said, “i heard accounts of things like tom brokaw was sharpening knives for the interview”—again, a curious turn of phrase for a man just acquitted of slashing the throats of two people with a sharp knife which has never been recovered .

the film’s best feature is its supporting cast, especially nikki reed as a woman who owned the same cat (it was moonlighting, alternating between the two homes), j. k. simmons as the local sheriff, and greg kinnear as the owner of a walmart - like store that figures prominently in the mystery .

often feels like it' s treading water. kranz' s performance is a little too schticky, though his role is essentially a one - note joke. what really rankles is that greene and her co - creators don' t fully exploit the fact that clinton is a comic foil in his own story. amateur gumshoes are supposed to be reactive by nature since clues come to them, not the other way around. but everyone tiptoes around clinton, and that leaves kranz stranded without good material. the film' s plot consequently feels like a very bland character' s search for a personality .
over all, i liked this book. i spent most of my afternoon curled up with my maine coon cat reading this book. sometimes i found it hard to believe justin as a character, but as he received some pretty hefty shocks in the book, i' m willing to overlook that. several male characters, and female characters, called out certain characters as misogynists, for which i was eternally grateful. which is a thing i tend to look at in books. diesel was probably my favorite by far, but that' s because he was a cat. 4 out of 5 stars .
this is a perfect example of the kind of indie movie j. k. simmons will hopefully never have to do again if he wins an oscar for

receiving little help from the suburban town’s genial sheriff (simmons), who’s more interested in romancing his mother, clinton sets out to solve the crime like an overgrown encyclopedia brown. his investigation leads him to hairstylist greta (nikki reed), whose cat bearing a suspicious resemblance to mouser has gone missing. it turns out that mouser was a “moonlighting” feline owned by both parties and that the murder weapon was exclusively sold at the town’s mega - store where greta used to work, owned by local celebrity al ford (kinnear) .

clinton moisey is an iconoclastic, artisan action - figure designer who still lives in his mom’s basement, and is, by the standards of the world, a full - blown loser. but clinton doesn’t have time to care about what others think of him; he’s too busy running a yard sale where he promotes his hardboiled detective toy line with his pet cat and best friend, “mouser. ” when clinton wakes up one morning to find mouser impaled by a crossbow arrow, he is devastated. realizing that the local sheriff is only interested in flirting with his mom, clinton sets off on his own to find out who killed mouser and why. as clinton delves deeper into the case, he encounters a free - spirited weed dealer and part - time hair stylist to the elderly, a squeaky - clean korean store clerk with a dark side, and a local celebrity on the verge of a nervous breakdown, ultimately uncovering a town - wide conspiracy far greater than he ever imagined .

initially hostile to the endlessly grating clinton, greta joins forces with him anyway, their amateur sleuthing leading to the discovery of an elaborate scam being perpetrated at the store, apparently by a young korean - american sales clerk (leo nam). the duo’s efforts, observed with alternate bemusement and exasperation by the sheriff, uncover a dark side to the store’s owner, who’s eventually revealed to be a nutcase obsessed with the john wayne film angel and the badman. along the way, clinton, thanks largely to a flattering new hairstyle courtesy of greta, becomes something of a hunk displaying a newfound maturity .

this was my bedtime reading for the past week. i made it to page 172 before i started skimming. i found both the writing style and the (human) protagonist extremely annoying. just 3 pages in we get an exposé of what a maine coon cat is. furthermore, every. single. action is described in minute and often redundant detail. some examples: after logging in to the cataloging module of our integrated library system (or ils, in library parlance), i began to examine the book. (…) i turned to the computer a

simpson needed that $ 20 million he expected from the pay - per - view deal. the house on rockingham had been used as collateral for a $ 3 million line of credit to cover legal fees for the murder trial, some of which have not been paid. there are also the costly civil suits that face him in the near future. yet he asserted his solvency in the new york times. “i still have my ferrari, ” he told carter. “i still have my bentley, i still have my home in brentwood and my apartment in new york. ” however, he had already put the apartment up for sale and taken out a $ 700, 000 mortgage on it. elaine young, a beverly hills real - estate agent, has had an offer in excess of $ 4 million for the house on rockingham, but simpson doesn’t want to sell it, even though his neighbors don’t want him there anymore .
but remember: clinton is, based on his behavior, supposed to be pathetic. he even says as much when he explains to greta in one of the film' s best lines that he always wanted to be a detective :
i used to run around in tighty - whities and a trench - coat and interrogate strangers. i was 15 .
that' s a funny line, but kranz is off - camera when he delivers it, suggesting that greene couldn' t bear to film her lead protagonist debasing himself that much. if clinton' s creators aren' t committed to taking the wind out of his sails, then they shouldn' t have killed his cat in the first place .
this cozy mystery has an irresistibly attractive cover, and i' m happy to report that the story inside is just as good! i liked the characters, including the good - natured, compassionate librarian charlie harris, the delightful small - town southern setting, the way all the supporting characters were so well portrayed, and the clever whodunit plot. most of all, i loved diesel, charlie' s friendly maine coon cat, who loves attention, walks on a leash, and chirps and warbles rather than meowing. a fun

simpson, not satisfied with a mere acquittal, wanted more from us. he wanted our adulation back. adulation is what he craves. he is addicted to it. by now, however, he knows that he will never have it. when robert shapiro was booed at a lakers game last spring, it was a foretaste of things to come. if simpson’s golfing pals craig baumgarten and don ohlmeyer remain steadfast in their friendship, they’re going to have a hard time finding a golf club to tee off at. the riviera country club, where simpson is a member, doesn’t want him back. one member told me that the explanation it gives is that he is a security risk, which he is—a golf course being an ideal place for an assassin to pick someone off—but there is more. i have spoken with other members of that club who say they will resign in droves if he is allowed back.
