SALT LAKE CITY (KUTV) — With April wrapping up, it's just about time to look ahead to May. First, before we can welcome new titles, we have to say goodbye to a few old familiars. Here are five titles that caught my eye.
Limitless
Released in 2011, "Limitless" caught Bradley Cooper on the rise. The commercial success of "The Hangover" was behind him, but the critical acclaim of "Silver Linings Playbook" was just ahead. "Limitless" sees Cooper starring asEddie Morra, a man who with the help of a super pill is able to use 100% of his brain's abilities to become a very successful businessman. Unfortunately, Morra soon learns that his newfound success comes at a price. (Leaving 5/15/20)
