A-Team Movie Trailer

It's fun to see what actors they got this time round.

I'm going to stick to the more realistic or at least plausible films like Avatar and Alice in Wonderland.

Aw.. C'mon... there's always a 'PLAN B'...

...here in Northern Illinois anyway...
(the band I'm in is PLAN B...)

I see this has one of the actors from The Hangover... might be worth watching when it comes out on DVD...

Could have been a SEAL team.

Escaped from a maximum security prison...

Their high-profile antics certainly must help with escape and evasion.

Doubtful that they would escape from an oncoming glacier.

The 82nd had tanks. Well, at least they called them tanks and dropped them by parachute. Real tankers might call them armored recon vehicles.

One of the reasons you got off the DZ fast if the 82nd was jumping after your jump - not to mention the "whizzing" helmets striking the ground everywhere.

Who remembers a lowboy drop, bleachers and a crowd of spectators at Ft. Bragg when everything went wrong?
