Bringing to a close eight weeks of scintillating sci-fi goodness, Humans wrapped up a stellar first series on Channel 4 last night - but that finale left us with as many questions as answers.
If you're anything like us, here are a few questions you might still have - about the fictional world of Humans, and the show's origins and inspirations.
1. So wait... what happened at the end?
Confused by those final scenes? Here's a brief rundown of what went down in the Humans finale...
Elster's children - with the help of Karen (Ruth Bradley) - succeeded in unlocking the secret to Synth consciousness, but before they could decide what to do with it, Niska (Emily Berrington) deleted the code from Mattie's laptop - storing what appeared to be the only copy on a flash drive.
In what appeared to be a big move towards establishing peaceful human/Synth relations,...

Director: Marko Mäkilaakso. Writers Marko Mäkilaakso, and Barr B. Potter. Cast: Andrew Tiernan, Mikko Leppilampi, Samuel Vauramo, Jouko Ahola, Mark Wingett, and Andreas Wilson. War of the Dead was originally titled Stone's War. This film has undergone several other changes in its eight year production history. Production companies have come and gone along with primary cast members. James van der Beek was one actor who was attached to this picture only to be replaced by another. War of the Dead released in the United Kingdom on DVD May 28th and this film has not overcome the many challenges of production. The film reviewed here is simply lackluster in story and character development. Only a few exciting film elements draw this title out of complete oblivion. The film is set during World War II. Finnish and American forces are working together to destroy an underground German bunker. Beneath the ground, an...

It's been a long time since last there was anything to report on War of the Dead (formerly Stone's War). So long in fact that we had all but written the film off. However, that's the thing about the dead; eventually they will rise.
Over on the official War of the Dead Facebook page a couple of new videos have been posted. That indicates good things, right? We hope so. Dig on them below.

If… (15) Lindsay Anderson, 1968 Starring Malcolm McDowell
Made in the heady days of global unrest and protest, Anderson's boarding-school flick caught the mood of anti-establishment disaffection. Its exotic flourishes – making out with a libidinous waitress; gunning down the faculty with weapons stolen from the cadet force armoury – fuelled the fantasies of rebellious schoolboys everywhere.
Best scene
College House listens in uncomfortable silence as Travis (McDowell) is given a brutal caning by the head whip.
Flirting (15) John Duigan, 1991
Starring Noah Taylor, Thandie Newton
"One thing about boarding school, 24 hours a day, you're surrounded," begins misfit Taylor, stuck in a rural Australian boys' school in 1965. "Either you abandon yourself and become a herd animal, or dig deeper into your head and skulk inside." Taylor finds a different path when he discovers love with Newton from a nearby girls' school.
Best scene
Taylor defends his girlfriend's honour, in the boxing ring against the school's top pugilist.

I've been searching for that elusive European actor that has what it takes - talent, vigor, charm, ambition. Good looks is a given and there are lots who already passed that test, but is there someone that really rocks? Aside from those already featured at tMF - Ulliel, Garrel, Duris, Poupaud, Bruhl - there is one other guy worth the spotlight. He's one of Sweden's top actors - Andreas Wilson. - - - - - - First Starring Role: His most famous role (which happens to be his first starring role too) is that of Erik Ponti in the Oscar Nominated Foreign Film, Evil (Ondskan) (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0338309/). Based on a true story, Wilson plays a troubled teenager who, having been physically abused by his step-father, is in turn dangerously violent toward his fellow students. Desperate for her son to succeed, Erik’s mother scrimps to send...
