      Two hired killers meet over a urinal in a Grand Central Station men's room. It sounds like the beginning of a bad joke or the opening of an impossibly convoluted and entertaining mystery thriller. Bingo, thriller it is. If this review sounds a little flip, it's because the tone of this breathtaking, cleverly plotted mystery thriller is irreverent and breezy from its bloody opening scenes to its heart-stopping conclusion. When The Ghost and Walter Zelvas, both highly successful contract killers, meet at gunpoint, it's a given that one of them will die. Reluctantly leaving Walter's blood body on the floor ...

      "Sail on silver girl. Sail on by" These words from the Simon and Garfunkel song, "Bridge over Troubled Water," both haunt and comfort Meredith Martin Delinn as she reflects on the promise of her early life and the desperate situation she in which she now finds herself. Growing up as the adored only child of a prosperous father, she often heard him call her his silver girl, who could accomplish anything. To remind her of her unlimited potential he gave her the record album, and it became her most treasured possession after his death.

      Quirky, camp and slightly offbeat, this is an unashamed tourist attraction aimed at small children (and grown ups with a sense of fun). The tour is led by local girls in Dorothy costumes and takes ...
