Nightclub cinema

Does an indie documentary about a working-class Havana club go better with rum punch or a mojito? Ah, the decisions one must make at Cinema Under the Influence, an after-hours monthly at Indigo's Opium Den, featuring indie-film screenings, drinks and pupu.

Headlining the flick list at 8 tonight: Pulitzer-Prize-winning photographer David Turnley's "La Tropical," a music-filled documentary on the changing life and times of Havana's generations-old night spot Salon Rosado at La Tropical. The Sundance Film Festival award-winning short film "Delusions In Modern Primitivism" opens the evening.

Entry is $5; $3 for Cinema Paradise members. Information: 550-0496 or www.cinemaparadise.org.

Bling-bling of Bogie

No? Well, at least you can look.

The Winston family, whose jewelry is often associated with the red-carpet world of celebrity and royalty, is bringing one of its treasures, the Winston Falcon, to Honolulu for a two-day viewing. Ronald Winston purchased the original piece from the set of the 1941 movie "The Maltese Falcon," starring Humphrey Bogart. He then had it cast to create a solid-gold replica weighing 10 pounds and standing nearly a foot tall.

The falcon has two cabochon-cut Burmese ruby eyes, interchangeable coral and gold claws, and a 42.98-carat pear-shaped diamond hanging from a platinum chain in its beak.

See the falcon at Neiman Marcus, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. today through Saturday.
