TheATeamDVDALP12 13 10 New DVD Releases: The A Team, The Other Guys, Despicable Me

The DVD Shelves are absolutely loaded this week with comedies, blockbusters, docs and indie films alike. The big guns come out in the form of The A-Team, Will Ferrell’s The Other Guys, and the animated megahit Despicable Me. If prestige pics are more your speed, you can dig in with either Ben Affleck’s bit of Oscar bait The Town or the beloved little comedy Cyrus with Jonah Hill and John C. Reilly. There’s also the complete series of one of the most influential shows of the decade and a DVD starring Zach Galifinakis that you certainly didn’t know existed.

Weekend Box Office: Karate Kid for the Win!

the karate kid final trailer 7 6 10 kc Weekend Box Office: Karate Kid for the Win!

…And we’re talking the REAL win. Not only did The Karate Kid finally knock Shrek Forever After off it’s box office pedestal, but they only spent $40 million dollars and made $56 million, while their competition for the weekend The A-Team spent $110 and made only $26 million. Ouch! It seems like both The A-Team and The Losers (basically the same movie) were fun to watch but don’t seem to be pulling in the viewers. Maybe people went to one or the other and not both? I wonder if The Expendables (also basically the same movie just with more bulky men) has anything to be worried about?

As for the smaller films, Splice is the only one that made the list. Will it stick around with word of mouth? Or slide into the depths of the Top 100?

Check out this weekends top ten at the box office below…

VOTE: Rampage Jackson Vs. Mr. T as B.A. Baracus

mrt6 10 10 VOTE: Rampage Jackson Vs. Mr. T as B.A. Baracus

It’s kind of an unfair competition. There was a hell of a lot of pressure on Rampage Jackson to fill the shoes of the one and only Mr. T, the only A-Team member alive who refused to make a cameo in Joe Carnahan‘s 2010 adaptation of The A-Team.

Dwight Schultz had a moment with Sharlto Copley to bond over ‘Howling Mad’ Murdock and Dirk Benedict showed up in a scene with Bradley Cooper to show his support of him taking on Faceman, but there was no double B.A.Baracui and more importantly there was no pitying no fools! Lets just take a moment to think about this and reminisce over a Mr. T montage…

The A-Team: Movie Review

The A Team Group 6 10 10 The A Team: Movie Review

I love it when an action film comes together! Despite the fact that this movie continually reminded me of Team America, it’s a solid piece of entertainment. With all the explosions, flying tanks, witty lines and references you’re hoping for, it’s pure cheesy fun. Out of all the action movies that we’ve had this summer, this is the first that is pure entertainment from start to finish (don’t shove Iron Man 2 in my face, it’s a different type of film).

A Team Making the A Team: Neeson, Carnahan, Cooper, Copley, Biel

Last week, we sat down to a press conference with the director of The A-Team Joe Carnahan along with cast members, Liam Neeson (Hannibal), Bradley Cooper (Face), Sharlto Copley (Murdock) and Jessica Biel (Sosa) to talk about how the plan came together (so cheap – I know). I should mention that Rampage Jackson, the man who plays B.A. Baracus was also in attendance, but he didn’t really say much — in many ways his large sunglasses and physique said all it needed to.

Joe was extremely forthright and one of the first things he said was that the reason he made the movie was for money, the gang talks male bonding and why they all love their character and more below…

Sharlto Copley Fought in Kid Gang for the A-Team

sharlto 6 9 10 murdock Sharlto Copley Fought in Kid Gang for the A Team

We’ve all heard about actors being committed to their roles in films, but rarely do we hear about an actor being so devoted to a character that as a young boy he actually fought in a gang to protect his right to dress up as a member of the A-Team. At a recent press conference for the movie Sharlto Copley, one of the co-stars of the A-Team who plays Murdock, told a story about when he was a young boy in Johannesburg, South Africa how he quite literally challenged another A-Team “gang” to a “war” for the right to dress up and pretend they were The A-Team. Now that’s dedication!

At the time Copley always wanted to be Hannibal, but was more then happy to accept the role as Murdoch in the re-imaging of his favorite film when director Joe Carnahan offered him the role.

Find out what he told us about the A-Team gang and the director surprise below…

Lots and lots of yelling. Take a look…

A Team A Team Clip Filled With Unrealistic Action And We Love It!

Twentieth Century Fox has just released the first clip from their big screen adaptation of The A-Team and it’s ridiculous. We haven’t seen this much over the top action since the original TV show, which means director Joe Carnahan did his job. The clip includes Faceman (Bradley Cooper), B.A. Baracus (Rampage Jackson), and Murdock (Sharlto Copley) trying to survive while being shot at in a tank, that happens to be hovering in mid-air! Check it out…
