  DVD Review - X The Unknown
A creature unknown to man, a creature the appears and disappears in the bottomless crack in the Earth, a creature that absorbs radioactivity, burning every living being close by.
"X The Unknown" is an atmospheric doomsday science fiction movie that relocates the events into the gloomy and swampy countryside of England rather than the desert as its many American counterparts used to do.
Without noise or distortion, "X The Unknown" is featuring a soundtrack that helps greatly to create the atmosphere of unknown terror on the screen - in 50s terms that is, of course.

 X the Unknown (1956) - The Bad Movie Report
In X the Unknown, we see a lot of the tropes that Sangster will employ again, later in his career, when he has a tighter grip on dialogue and character: the two boys out on a dare, in particular, is a classic Sangster plot device.
In X the Unknown it happens- the two guards left on the fissure have regaled us through the picture with their comedy stylings (and they might actually be funny, but their accents are a bit impenetrable to these Yank ears.
Even imitators of the form, like X the Unknown and Prince of Darkness exude an intelligence in a genre that too often substitutes flash and thunder for brains; they do not particularly challenge your intelligence, but they at least assume that you have some.

 The X Project: Destination Unknown
If our representative, Jenn X, were born in 1973, chances are the movies of John Hughes (The Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink, Sixteen Candles, among others) throughout the 1980s were among the first films marketed to her.
But Lloyd has little in the way of future prospects: He would like to become a professional kick-boxer (“The sport of the future,” he calls it) and Diane’s father believes he is a threat to his daughter’s bright future, and the expected generational conflict ensues.
So as Jenn X and her cohort headed to college in fall 1991, they did so at a time of uncertainty.

 Is OS X the Unknown OS?
"Unknown" traffic jumps from 5% in September to 6% in October as Mac users test the beta - then falls off as they discover that the beta is far from ready for prime time.
Mac OS X 10.1 update available, considered by many the first really viable version of X. "Unknown" traffic jumps from 4.5% in September to 6.1% in October, falls a bit in November, zooms to 12.1% in December, and climbs past 15% in January 2002.
Of course, we had "OS unknown" traffic before the Public Beta, so we have to assume that while most of that traffic may be OS X today, some of the traffic isn't.

No doubt, Hammer's X--The Unknown is a much lower-key approach to sci-fi horror than the studio's Quatermass films, and the monster in question does tend to be little more than high-voltage compost.

 X The Unknown Movie Review (1956) from Channel 4 Film
As radioactive goo oozes forth, destroying everyone in its path, scientist Adam Roysten (Jagger) formulates a theory that the living mass, dormant for millennia, now seeks fresh radioactive energy ("energy can only be fed with more energy") and, to this end, is heading straight for the military's own nuclear reactor.
A film of what-ifs and could-have-beens, X The Unknown was originally devised as a Quatermass sequel - until Nigel Kneale, miffed over what he felt was a lousy adaptation of his BBC serial, refused to co-operate (he would, however, go on to co-write Quatermass 2 after leaving the BBC).
More intriguingly, X The Unknown was also to have been directed by the legendary Joseph Losey (The Servant), then on the run from Senator McCathy's Un-American Activities Committee.

 Speculation about Microsoft's mysterious X#
Much of what is known outside the confines of Redmond about X# is largely speculation, but there is enough information available that a reasonable approximation of what the language entails can be made.
Others within the community think it’s more likely that X# is a language that extends one of the more radical aspects of current XML development, the use of Post-Schema Validated Information Sets (Infosets).
Whether schema-based programming makes its way into X# is unknown at this point, but given the general fitness of XML for such programming, it wouldn’t be surprising.

 X an Unknown Quantity.
No two bodies of mass are identical, and so the initial theoretical stages of the hypothesis must be much more professional and show any deviation from the main postulate, assuming the point of force I permitted light to first originate from.
Light needed to be measured as an X (unknown quantity) - factor in the equation, not a constant.
For me light couldn't possibly be measured as a constant if it fluctuated due to the gravitational influence of an opposite number.

 ToA: X the Unknown (1956)
X the Unknown is a very capably cobbled classic-of-sorts from the Hammer crew’s early days.
By avoiding the standard issue cheeseball trappings of your typical '50s atomic monster movies, X the Unknown turns out to be a good way to spend a day from your sick bed.
My only real gripe was that the flick was sadly lacking much of a soundtrack, and any good movie can be made 10 times better with a few dramatic twangs of a stringed instrument or two in the right spots.

We woo the sweet nymph Algebra; we would conduct you into the presence of the elusive, seductive, pursued, satisfying, mysterious X. Not long before the beginning of this century, Septimus Kinsolving, an old New Yorker, invented an idea.
He took a filial look at Septimus Kinsolving's elaborate tombstone in Greenwood and a tedious excursion through typewritten documents with the family lawyer; and then, feeling himself a lonely and hopeless millionaire, hurried down to the old jewelry store across Sixth Avenue.
