- Sound of My Voice
- Review
- A time travel story with no time travel, Sound of My Voice is intimate science fiction with only one concern: constructing a smart, incredibly acted puzzle for viewers to lose themselves in.

- The Dictator
- Review
- Sacha Baron Cohen tries to recapture the glory of his prior foreigner-in-America culture comedy, but a lack of heart and diminishing returns on the successful gimmick turns this into a movie of decent jokes a decade too late.

- Review
- When sushi becomes art as much as it is food, the art of presenting it on film becomes transformative not only to the cuisine, but the people who make it.

THE Screened Review by Alex Navarro
What it lacks in substance, Limitless more than makes up for in manic, excessive charm. |

Neil Burger Director | previously directed The Lucky Ones |  |
Eddie Morra is a failure, until he bumps into an old friend who offers him a way out in the form of NZT, a pill that gives him incredible powers of perception. The world soon falls at his feet, but can he see the danger that's just around the corner?

Plot Synopsis
Eddie Mora is a writer... or has been trying to fulfill that title. He hasn't been able to even start his novel, and as the world collapses around him, he nears what is basically a suicidal attitude. This is all until he meets up with an old friend who gives him a pill that basically allows him access to all 100% of his mind, as opposed to the 20% that humans are known to only use. So Eddie takes it, and all of a sudden is enlightened, remembering basically everything he has ever taken in, whether he knows it or not. He also now picks up things easier, is better with numbers, et cetera, and this leads to just about the perfect life, working with major business man Carl Van Loon... of course, this doesn't go without consequences, as several people associated with how he got the drug and who he has given it to are now after what Eddie Mora has, and what got him to his status.
