- 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.

While considered a classic horror story, The Call of Cthulhu was for many decades considered to be unfilmable. H.P. Lovecraft's tale of eldritch horror is not merely one story, but a series of stories within other stories, and as such contains a hard-to-define plot.
However, breaking with traditional thought, the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society nonetheless decided to bring The Call of Cthulhu to the screen. They chose to film the tale as a black & white silent movie, as if it had been made in the 1920s when the story was originally written. The choice paid off, and the resulting short is one of the most faithful Lovecraft adaptations ever filmed.
