Expendables, A-Team, Red Dawn. Is it time to wallow in 80s nostalgia already? I thought we’d have a few more years. What next? Sixteen Candles with Megan Ringwald?
I just saw the Expendables and thought it was a pretty good brainless entertaining movie. Both it and the A-Team didn’t get bogged down in soap box topics and just focused on blowing things up and whacking bad guys. The action in the Expendables is frenetic and sometimes suffers from the herky-jerky camera effect (but no where as bad as the 2nd Bourne movie). Across the board, my movie group gave it thumbs up and all expressed gun lust for the AA 12 shotgun which was a big scene stealer. This movie will definitely annoy the kum-ba-ya liberal who thinks we should all just give evil people a big hug.
