My A-Team review....

We watched this the other night, mostly for nostalgia reasons.

Interesting take on the whole military politics and mercenary 'Black Water...I mean 'Black Forest' stuff. So just what was really being said in the story line...you got 'guns for hire' 'corruption' 'military corruption' 'CIA corruption' and the whole 'use of violence B.A.' stuff. In the end a celebration of the emergence of "A-Team' private militia like para-military saviors, armed tea party inspired rescuers???

I got lost in the mash up of armed para military groups vying for power and wealth against other paramilitary group doing it for revenge. The whole BA/Hannibal Gandhi quotes moments made me nauseous...pitting wisdom against wisdom to justify anything you actually want to do.

That was a faint reflection of the most historic moments of complete ethical madness...when Pres. Obama, the winner of the Noble Peace Prize used Martin Luther King and Gandhi in his acceptance speech not for Peace...but to justify his continual and increasing military actions in the current and expanding theaters of USA paid and future funded campaigns.

I mean even Jessica Biel was a fumble...I mean she looked like she weighed about 85 pounds and was working on a role to replace Christian Bale in 'The Machinist 2"...not attractive, sorry, eat a burger girl. All in all it had some funny moments and some good action scenes in the Die Hard, over the top kinda way. OK to watch...just turn off your brain.

I actually like the Family Guy A-Team clip almost better.
