Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
Portia Hilton Blistering performances.
Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
StrictlyConfidential After watching Season One of TV's "A-Team" - I am now completely convinced that back in the early 1980s American masculinity was being seriously threatened, big-time.And, as a result of this assault on manliness - A testosterone-charged, macho-man TV series called "A-Team" was frantically created in order to "butch-up-the-nation" again.I mean - As silly as this may sound - That's the only thing that makes any sense to me as to why such a preposterous, male-dominated program as this one was produced (and, why, due to its vast popularity, it actually lasted for 5 solid seasons).
Jack Lepkoske Ateam fans, have you ever noticed that a little 1972 Ford Courier, Green with cap on the back, seemed to make a an appearance in almost every episode of seasons 1 thru 4? I have noticed watching the show over the years that this little truck appears in a least one episode or more for the all seasons except season 5. Growing up in the 1980s this was one of my favorite shows. I remember this show was on Tuesdays at 8:00. Then season 5 came along and they changed the night that this was on. I think it was Sunday nights or fridays. I think this spelled the end of the show. I was kinda disappointed in the 5th season, they changed the show format, but I will watch the 5th season, and I wish the whole season would have went the whole season, and if you have netflix you have to watch the first episode, and the other 2 part episodes, they contain deleted scenes.
pictet The A-Team television series debuted in 1983, one year after the release of Rambo I, borrowing from First Blood the theme of the renegade Vietnam veteran being chased by the authorities for no just cause. It is far more humorous than the Stallone vehicle, however, and perpetuates in an eighties context the rollicking medieval legend of Robin Hood and his merry band of men. The A-Team is sometimes criticized for its almost constant (but non- lethal) violence. The show's cartoonish fighting style is in fact an almost exact translation of the hyped-up fakery of professional wrestling, which was so popular during the show's run. It is no accident that Mr. T , star of the A-Team, was paired up with Hulk Hogan in Wrestlemania I.Ostensibly an action program, the A-Team may now be enjoyed more as a comedy. In the first three seasons, the writers almost never took the plot seriously. This was not the case in the final two seasons, which increasingly lapsed into uninspired action formulas. Even so, they are a breath of fresh air compared to more recent television productions such as CSI, whose unremittingly grim lack of irony is insufferable. Combining violence and comedy involves a delicate alchemy that few television shows pull off. The A-Team's success in this department may partly be attributed to its co-producer, Frank Lupo - who also achieved comparable results in the first season of Hunter. In addition, one should call attention to Sledge Hammer!, an outrageous cop sit-com of the eighties that has achieved cult status even though its syndication has been limited.Plans to produce a movie version of the A-Team seem to have been shelved. This might change if studio chiefs realize that the central premise of the A-Team is most timely in a recession. A viewer whose mortgage is about to be foreclosed will undoubtedly connect with the idea of a bunch of persecuted, homeless eccentrics on the run from the law because of their involvement in a murky, bank-robbing scheme.
AdlerM11 I remember the show when I was a kid. It was one of the best shows on at the time. Four people who were on the run from the military had enough brass to help people in need and wouldn't sell out to the highest bidder.My favorite character of the show was Hannibal Smith (George Peppard). He was the coolest. He always seemed he had a way out for any of the tough situations they ran across. And he always had the Jazz. And I don't think just the character of Hannibal had the Jazz, but I believe Peppard always had it and he brought it to the character of Hannibal.Also I think it would be great if they made a movie about the A-Team. I vote Bruce Willis or Peirce Bronsan as Hannibal, Ryan Reynolds as Face, Jim Carrey as Murdoch and last but not least Ice Cube as B.A.. But I also feel that the surviving cast members of the original A-Team should have at least cameos in the film and a little bit of homage paid to Peppard as well. So I say all systems go for the A-Team movie. So if the powers that be in Hollywood read this please make one. It be the coolest movie and besides I would pay to see it.
