Ok, I post this one for nostalgia sake really, as it’s definitely not cinema’s greatest moment. But growing up with less than 10 TV channels, The A-Team was one of the shows I watch regularly, along with MacGyver, Growing Pains, and 21 Jump Street (which reportedly is getting its own remake courtesy of British director Edgar Wright (Hot Fuzz). So anyway, the trailer looks like a faithful homage to the series down to the theme music, which means over-the-top action sequences are to be expected. The new cast seems to step into the original in their mannerism. I wasn’t sure about Liam Neeson’s casting at first, but he looks like he’s having a ball as the cigar-smokin’ Hannibal. Not a huge fan of Bradley Cooper in general, he seems to be channeling Brad Pitt in his quest to be America’s fave pretty boy with his perfect teeth and sculpted bod, but then again Faceman is basically the eye candy of the show. Quinton “Rampage” Jackson is no Mr. T, but I’d watch this flick just to see Sharlto Copley’s follow-up to District 9. I’d definitely miss his dramatic & tragic performance here though, but to be fair he seems like a pretty good pick as the wisecracking nutcase Murdock.

Like a gawkers slow down I’ll be watch’n. NO way in a theater, but if it comes out on cable in a few years I won’t turn the channel …
With all the good stuff coming this year, this one certainly can wait for DVD. But if my guy friends are going I’ll probably tag along, at least it looks entertaining.
Less than 10 TV channels, the hardship, we had 3 when I was a kid until Channel 4 came along! Essential viewing (as well as The A Team) was The Dukes of Hazzard, The Fall Guy and Knight Rider.
But you’ve got the BBC!! That counts for at least 3 channels in Indonesia quality-wise 🙂 Actually now that I think about it, we probably had about 3-4 channels, most of them gov’t-controlled, and we didn’t get the current episodes of the American shows, either, they’re always a season or two behind. Ha! Knight Rider, I remember watching Hassellhoff with his giant afro. Boy he hasn’t changed much, still cheesy! 😀
I have seen all those shows from when I was a kid again in recent years and they are all so bad, really cheesy!
The BBC is really under threat these days; experts say the licence fee could be scrapped within ten years. If it were to disappear or radically change I would probably miss BBC radio more than TV
