my rating: Three cheers for catchphrases. Out of six. Six catchphrases or cheers? Yes.

what possessed me: The Cracka and I have subtly shifted our affection for Bradley Cooper from offhand joke to a symptom of serious mental illness.

what i learned: I have little recollection of the show, if I’m being totally honest. I remember that it was like MacGyver with a black van, a guy from Battlestar Galactica, crass attitudes and guns. More likely than not, I was too righteous for it. Or afraid. Or both. But I’m all grown up and teeming with carefully cultured hate cells now. So I’m happy to report that the movie is a physics-blaspheming success. It’s also a study in inconsequential and caricaturishly generic supporting characters. The girl! The bad guy! The other bad guy! A third bad guy! And while I am aware that sounds like jagged gouge in the minus column, but I defy you to see the movie and care.

you may also enjoy: The A-Team (maybe?), S.W.A.T., The Big Hit, Ocean’s Eleven, and when a ridiculous plans come together.

tangential thought: I love my sister so much that when we decided our roles in our own A-Team and she called Murdock, I didn’t even put up a fight and quietly accepted Face. But we both know I’m still the wild card.
