The Pink Lace Diamond
A dinner party underway at the Prince Regent Hotel is rudely interrupted by the unexpected arrival of a screaming hotel cleaner. Before she faints, she manages to inform the gathering that she has discovered the body of a dead man in her broom cupboard.
Thus begins the clues for "The Pink Diamond Murder Mystery," which will be among the mind-twisters offered up at this year's Key West Mystery Fest, May 10-13.

Ryan Gosling 'gives an electric performance that oozes quiet malevolence.'
"The Place Beyond the Pines," rated R, 140 min. Now playing nationwide.
Let's start with the title - it's confusing and ambiguous and most viewers will wonder what it means. Does it have something to do with the auto repair shop in the woods? Is it about the two tense, disturbing scenes that take place among the pine trees? No, the title comes from a rough translation of the native-American word 'Schenectady', which is the city in New York where the film takes place.

"If you care to assassinate yourself with laughter, try Deathtrap."
