Scientists create artificial life in the brooding sci-fi thriller, The Machine. It’s a cult gem in the making, Ryan writes...
The notion of fashioning a being and giving it life predates science fiction, yet it remains a magnetic subject that withstands constant reworking and retelling. Director and writer Caradog W James’s low-budget film The Machine has strong echoes of Blade Runner and Metropolis, but it also reaches further back to things like Frankenstein and the Jewish folklore tale of the Golem.
Toby Stephens stars as brooding computer scientist Dr Vincent McCarthy (his name being a nod, perhaps, to real-world pioneer John McCarthy), who works in a shadowy research bunker for the Ministry of Defence. The west is locked in a second Cold War with China, and both sides are racing to build ever more intelligent machines. “The most technologically advanced society always wins,...

"Great LezBritian" is a fortnightly stroll through the very best of British lesbo-centric entertainment and culture. Plus there will be some jolly good interviews with the top ladies who are waving the flag for gay UK.
If AfterEllen.com was a British site, it would be called AfterSandi.com. We grew up watching Sandi Toksvig on children’s TV show Number 73 in the 80s, felt her pain as she sailed around Britain with John McCarthy in the 1990s and today we are entertained weekly by her Radio 4 panel show, The News Quiz.
She recently flew into Glasgow for the city’s book festival, Aye Write, and we had the privilege of spending a funny, informative and inspiring 40 minutes with her before her performance inside one of Glasgow’s grandest buildings, The Mitchell Library.
She arrived in the green room, a very short lady, with a massive presence and immediately told...

Author Tara Moss splits her time in between Canada and Australia, at least, when she isn't jet setting across the world to promote one of her latest books in the Mak Vanderwall series. Moss sat down with Celebrity News Service to tell us more about her, as she puts it, "rather unusual life."
Moss is well-known throughout the writing community for her crazy, extensive background work for her novels and for taking research to a whole new level. She has toured the FBI Academy at Quantico, spent time in squad cars, seen autopsies, viewed crime scenes, been set on fire by Hollywood stunt company West Efx, and last, but certainly not least, was choked unconscious by Ultimate Fighter "Big" John McCarthy for research for her latest book, "Siren."
The former model turned author has her fifth book in the series, "Siren," coming out next week. As Moss explains, "Well, I...
