A New Leaf, a review by Antares

A New Leaf (1971) 78/100The PlagueHarold and Maude and Kind Hearts and Coronets as two of my all time favorite films. A New Leaf, which has its moments of brilliance, almost ranks right up there with both of those great films. Walter Matthau is excellent as the spoiled trust fund baby with the Monsieur Verdoux complex, but my favorite character has to be George Rose as the sympathetic butler. As I was watching, I kind of wondered if his character was the basis for the Hobson role in ArthurTeal = Masterpiece
Dark Green = Classic or someday will be
Lime Green = A good, entertaining film
Orange = Average
Red = Cinemuck
Brown = The color of crap, which this film is

This one I really enjoyed. I liked all the characters and it has a good story. I definitely felt Hepburn did a wonderful job in this one. I couldn't imagine the role being done any better. Peck was also good here. I knew the character would do what was right in the end... so I can't say it wasn't predictable. But even being predictable the story keeps you invested through-out with ease. This one is definitely worth the time put in to watch it.

Veronica Mars Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

13. Postgame Mortem
Game over. Hearst's basketball coach is found murdered. Logan, depressed over his breakup with Veronica, turns his attention to another young lady. He plays big brother to a little girl left in his care.

My Thoughts:
This one I liked quite a bit. It is one of the few times that the weekly mystery is spread out to two episodes.

My Rating:

14. Mars, Bars
One down, one to go. Veronica solves the Coach Barry case, but the O'Dell murder just gets more and more complicated. And guess what Logan finds on a Valentine's Day scavenger hunt: a new love interest.

My Thoughts:
This is the only episode of this set that I have seen recently. It is one I watched for Valentines Day. While the entire episode is very good... I especially liked the scavenger hunt scenes... they were just plain fun. It also has the conclusion to the last episode's mystery, a good continuation to the multi-episode mystery and has Keith Mars getting his old job as sheriff back.

My Rating:

15. Papa's Cabin
Who killed Dean O'Dell? The odd-couple detective team of Veronica and Tim wants to know. A taped phone call, two disappearances, one corpse and a few strippers later, they find out. Then...

My Thoughts:
much like all the episodes that has the big reveals... this is an excellent episode! Though I must admit... I would have liked to seen a little of what happened between the time of Veronica figuring it all out in class and the next scene of her home cooking dinner and seeing the outcome on the news. But that is a minor thing.

My Rating:

16. Un-American Graffiti
Not what they expected. An Arab-American (emphasis on 'American') family is the victim of a hate crime. Sheriff Mars targets off-campus bars that have served minors for years. Veronica's love life takes a surprising turn.

My Thoughts:
This is a very good episode. An interesting mystery. And I enjoyed Keith going up against the local bars. And I really like how it ended.

My Rating:
