Actor of the Day
Corey Stoll knocked me out with his loud and likable performance as Ernest Hemingway in Woody Allen's Midnight in Paris. I was look warm movie but as an English teacher I loved the literary cameos. None more than Papa.

Alan Turing film
Not only is he the father of computer science, but Alan Turing is also a true British hero. He was instrumental in decoding German ciphers in World War II and helping us win. He is a bone fide legend, a gay icon and one of the most tragic figures in modern history.
Alan Turing was discovered to be a homosexual, was turned upon by the government he had served so well, was chemically castrated and banned from working on the projects which he had instigated. Driven to despair, he apparently took his own life by eating an apple laced with cyanide, in a final tribute to one of his favourite stories, Snow White.
Steve Jobs is reported to have named his company after that very incident, so it gives you some idea of Turing’s impact on the world of computing that the head of Apple cites him as an inspiration.
And now Benedict Cumberbatch is in talks to play Alan Turing in THE IMITATION GAME.
