AGATHA CHRISTIE’S THE MOUSETRAP
A group of strangers is stranded in a boarding house during a snowstorm, on of whom is a murderer. The suspects include the newly married couple who run the house, and the suspicions in their minds nearly wreck their perfect marriage. Others are a spinster with a curious background, an architect who seems better equipped to be a chef, a retired Army major, a strange little man who claims his car has overturned in a drift, and a lawyer who makes life miserable for everyone. Into their midst comes a policeman, traveling on skis. He no sooner arrives when the lawyer is killed. Two down, and one to go. To get to the rationale of the murderer's pattern, the policeman probes the background of everyone present and rattles a lot of skeletons. Another famous Agatha Christie twist finish! Chalk up another superb intrigue for the foremost mystery writer of her time.

ZEROVILLE: LOVE, CINEMA, AND PUNK ROCK, 1969
A film by James Franco, based on the book by Steve Erickson. Starring James Franco, Megan Fox, Joey King, Jacki Weaver, Danny McBride, Craig Robinson, and Seth Rogan. Ike Jerome, a 24-year-old architecture student inspired by the few films he has seen, rides the bus into Hollywood. Jerome is almost autistic (later, his friend dubs him a “cineautistic”) in his interactions with the world. With a tattoo of Montgomery Clift and Elizabeth Taylor as they appear in A Place in the Sun on his shaved head, he makes an impression on the people around him. Soon breaking into film as a designer and eventually, a film editor, Vikar (as he is nicknamed) begins a dreamlike journey into the world of films that eventually ends in tragedy and almost horrific discovery.
