Local filmmakers desperate for a hit have either attempted to fuse the best of East and West into a magnum opus such as Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, or at least have upgraded the quality of their Hollywood rip-offs while retaining some of the elements that make Hong Kong film unique. Skyline Cruisers is an example of the latter, a big-budget, formulaic spectacle that shamelessly pilfers from Mission Impossible and Entrapment while remaining enjoyable, if ultimately empty...
...creates a brand new world of escapist fantasies. Mirwais’ voice, delivering banal yet somehow appropriate lyrics, is filtered through a vocoder to encapsulate an otherworldly effect. Sounding at times like the soundtrack to a car commercial, “Naive Song” nevertheless manages to successfully fuse electronic sensibilities with a more conventional pop motif. Unfortunately, it’s all downhill from here, and though Mirwais manages a precious few more coruscations before the album is over, it isn’t nearly enough to salvage this Production.

...saying he didn't want to go to school that day for fear of being bullied. But few of Williams' friends ever really understood what was going on inside the youngster's tormented mind. "Andy didn't speak about his problems. He kept them all in. Maybe a fuse finally blew," says Analisha Welbaum, a 14-year-old freshman...
...Given what researchers have learned since Dolly, no one thinks the mechanics of cloning are very hard: take a donor egg, suck out the nucleus, and hence the DNA, and fuse it with, say, a skin cell from the human being copied. Then, with the help of an electrical current, the reconstituted cell should begin growing into a genetic duplicate. "It's inevitable that someone will try and someone will succeed," predicts Delores Lamb, an infertility expert at Baylor University in Texas. The consensus among biotechnology specialists is that within a few years?some scientists believe a few months...
...This second cell, they say, comes from a 10-month-old boy who died during surgery. The two cells will be hit with an electrical charge, according to the scenario, and will fuse, forming a new hybrid cell that no longer has the genes of the young woman but now has the genes of the dead child. Once the single cell has developed into six to eight cells, the next step is to follow the existing, standard technology of assisted reproduction: gingerly insert the embryo into a woman's womb and hope it implants. Clonaid scientists expect to have implanted...
