Will The Real 'A-Team' Please Stand Up?

So 2010 is supposed to be the year that the A-Team come back to our screens.

You remember the A-Team. Four soldiers convicted of a crime they didn't commit, escaped from a miltary stockage and made it to the LA underground where they became soldiers of fortune......yada yada yada.



Well they've back. But of course since they're making it back to the big screens this has got to be a hell of a lot flashier than our beloved TV show.



(I wonder if anyone will actually get shot in this or will it be like the old days where noone could hit the side of a barn door)

So that seems to be my fix for the summer.....but wait a minute? What's this?



'The Losers' will also be out this year. Here's the plot synopsis:

After being betrayed and left for dead, members of a CIA black ops team root out those who targeted them for assassination

....sounds kinda familiar doesn't it ;-)



Surely that must be it. There's no way Hollywood would have three similar movies come out within the space of a few months. There's just no way.....



Spoke too soon.

So we have the remake of an 80s TV show, an adaptation of a Vertigo comic and an excuse for an 80s Action-Movie star reunion. And they all look the same. Geez

Now I don't mean to be overly critical. I'm sure these films will be entertaining. But can any of these movies bring it the way this man did?









PS I know there's noone that could ever really replace Mr T. But did they have to get this guy?
