Download: MSTRKRFT - Beards Again

Words: Saam Das

I remember some murmurings upon the recent reformation of Death From Above 1979 that Jesse Keeler's other outfit MSTRKRFT would subsequently suffer. The free download of pounding new track, 'Beards Again' suggests that any negative thoughts should be thrust aside. For the time being, at least.

'The A-Team' (2010)

Director: Joe Carnahan
Cast: Liam Neeson, Bradley Cooper, Sharlto Copley, Jessica Biel, Quinton Jackson

Entertainment has changed a lot since the 1980s, and updating a cultural icon is a gamble. Modernise it too much and it disappoints the fans. Make it a strictly fan-service affair and newcomers don’t like it. Did they get the balance right? Yes, sort of.

On paper, the TV series and this new film are pretty similar. There is enough here to satisfy any reasonable fan of the original - the four guys; the cigar; the Mohawk; the explosions; silly stunts; that van.
