“Paranormal Activity” cost nothing to make and was a huge surprise hit . . . so we all knew there’d be a second one.  The question is:  Will it be true to the original . . . or will a bunch of expectations and money make it a disaster on the level of “Book of Shadows:  Blair Witch 2″?

–Well, the first teaser trailer for “Paranormal Activity 2″ came out yesterday and . . . we have no idea.  All it shows is some nighttime footage inside a house.  A dog barking, a baby, a zombie-fied woman standing there, and some mysterious noises.

Last year this probably had to be me and my crews favorite show that wasn’t Curb Your Enthusiasm or It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. It’s about a washed up baseball player named Kenny Powers who is trying to get back to the majors. This show is wrong on like 15 different levels. Peep a highlight from season 1.

 

“The A-Team”  (PG-13)

–The big screen remake of the ’80s TV show stars Liam Neeson as Hannibal, Bradley Cooper as Face, Sharlto Copley . . . the dude from “District 9″ . . .  as Murdock, and UFC fighter Quinton “Rampage” Jackson as B.A.

–Jessica Biel is the eye candy.  She’s not actually part of the team.

–Dirk Benedict and Dwight Schultz . . . the guys who played Face and Murdock in the original show . . . are the only guys back for cameos.  George Peppard, who played Hannibal, died in 1994.  That leaves the original B.A., the one and only Mr. T.

–It’s not really clear why Mr. T isn’t doing it.  We originally heard that he refused because he objected to the sex and violence.  But yesterday, his rep said that Mr. T never said that, because he hasn’t even seen the movie yet.

–Either way, I don’t think this movie will be ANYTHING like the show I used to watch as a kid.  But depending on how you felt about the original show, that could be a good thing, or a bad thing.

“The Karate Kid” (PG)

–Will Smith’s 11-year-old son Jaden Smith got his first -on-screen kiss as the new karate kid . . . and he’s probably got more moves than Ralph Macchio EVER did. Jackie Chan has the Mr. Miyagi role, which was originally played by Pat Morita.

Say it isn’t so! I had no idea season 3 would be it’s last. I miss it already. (sad)

This line up is bezerk! Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Swartzenegger, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Terry Crews, Randy Couture, Dolph Lundgren, Giselle Itie, Eric Roberts, David Zayas and Steve Austin. The film opens August 13th

The Expendables is a hard-hitting action/thriller about a group of mercenaries hired to infiltrate a South American country and overthrow its ruthless dictator. Once the mission begins, the men realize things aren’t quite as they appear, finding themselves caught in a dangerous web of deceit and betrayal. With their mission thwarted and an innocent life in danger, the men struggle with an even tougher challenge – one that threatens to destroy this band of brothers.

Barney Ross (Sylvester Stallone) is a man with nothing to lose. Fearless and void of emotion, he is the leader, the sage and the strategist of this tight-knit band of men who live on the fringe. His only attachment is to his pickup truck, his seaplane and his team of loyal modern-day warriors. His is a true cynic who describes what he does as “removing those hard to get at stains.” The team behind him is made up of Lee Christmas (Jason Statham), former SAS and a savant with anything that has a blade; Yin Yang (Jet Li), a master at close-quarter combat; Hale Caesar (Terry Crews), who has known Barney for ten years and is a long-barrel weapons specialist; Toll Road (Randy Couture), a skilled demolitions expert and considered the intellect of the group; and Gunnar Jensen (Dolph Lundgren), a combat veteran and an expert in precision sniping who struggles with his own demons.

When the mysterious Church offers Barney a job no one else would take, Barney and his team embark on what appears to be a routine mission: overthrow General Gaza (David Zayas), the murderous dictator of the small island country of Vilena and end the years of death and destruction inflicted on its people. On a reconnaissance mission to Vilena, Barney and Christmas meet their contact Sandra (Giselle Itie), a local freedom-fighter with a dark secret. They also come to learn who their true enemy is: rogue ex-CIA operative James Monroe (Eric Roberts) and his henchman Paine (Steve Austin). When things go terribly wrong, Barney and Christmas are forced to leave Sandra behind, essentially giving her a death sentence. Haunted by this failure, Barney convinces the team to return to Vilena to rescue the hostage and finish the job he started. And to perhaps save a soul: his own.
