- Third time isn’t quite the charm for Agents K and J, but a time travel plot opens up some new possibilities for these otherwise tired jokes and characters, reminding us that aliens can still be fun.

- 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 Screened Review by Matt Rorie
Super has a reach that exceeds its grasp, but deserves credit for at least reaching towards unpredictability. |
 |
James Gunn Director | previously directed Slither |  |
Drug lord, Jacques one day takes Frank's wife, Sarah away from him. Vowing for revenge, Frank decides to create a Super-Hero called "The Crimson Bolt" to fight the "evil" that is plaguing the streets and to get back his wife joined by his sidekick, Boltie.
As Frank wakes up, tentacles suddenly comes in his room, remove his head to inject "Super-powers" inside his brain. The tentacle design are from Slither.
