The A-Team Movie Review
Url: http://www.mania.com/ateam-movie-review_article_123155.html
B.A. Baracus (Rampage Jackson) has the word "PITY" tattooed on his left fist and "FOOL" tattooed on his right. You now know everything necessary to decide if The A-Team is your thing. Those whose hearts rise in joyous song at the thought of such a gag need to be there on opening night.
The Karate Kid Movie Review
Url: http://www.mania.com/karate-kid-movie-review_article_123156.html
We're two for two as far as 80s remakes goes this week, and that fact kind of freaks me out. The Karate Kid is at once supremely unnecessary and cheerfully crowd-pleasing. I'm not sure why they made it, but I'm glad they did; it evinces the same warmth, character and good cheer as the original did.
Lost Planet 2 Game Review
Url: http://www.mania.com/lost-planet-2-game-review_article_123065.html
The tag line to Lost Planet 2 is "Kill Big!' Unfortunately this doesn't necessarily translate as some poor level designs, clumsy controls, and terrible AI in solo play sucks a lot of fun out of the game.
