Limitless the TV show Pilot

We got an early look at the pilot for Limitless and boy are we excited. The show is based on the movie of the same name that came out in 2011 starring Bradley Cooper. The TV series revolves around Brian Finch, played by Jake McDorman, who gets his hands on the same pill Bradley Cooper did in the movie NZT-48 with similar results. Brian, a down on his luck musician, finds he can now instantly recall and connect all the things he’s ever read, seen, or heard. The show premieres on September 22nd on CBS. Read what we thought of the pilot.

Our Review of the Fantastic Four

The Fantastic Four is a reboot of a failed movie made in 2005. The concept is based on the Marvel comics of the same name. The quick and dirty review of the movie is this: Don’t spend money to see this film. If you’re a diehard Fantastic Four fan just wait till it comes out on DVD to be disappointed. The movie had great potential but fails to fulfill any of that potential. This was due to conflicting opinions between the director, Josh Trank, and studio executives who changed the final cut of the movie at the last minute.
