It's been nearly forty years, but people still remember "The A-Team." The action adventure series went on for five seasons, but stuck around in the public consciousness for much, much longer. People still remember the theme song, the cartoonish violence, the catchphrases. But although many viewers throughout the 2000s wanted a revival of the show, the TV series itself never came back.
Instead, we got a feature film in 2010 starring an updated A-Team, with the characters being veterans of the Iraq War instead of veterans of Vietnam. The film underperformed at the box office, however, and they never made a sequel. Unlike "21 Jump Street," a franchise where the later movies have now long-since overshadowed the TV show for most younger viewers, when people of all ages today think of "The A-Team," they're still almost certainly thinking of the show.
So what have the cast members been up to since...

Nobody’s perfect. The Oscars honor the best achievements in film. But the Razzies were created in 1980 to single out the worst achievements. The two awards are diametrically opposed, of course, but many actors have been nominated at both events, and more than a dozen have actually won both. Scroll down to see which film performers have gone from best to worst (or the other way around) in their careers and which categories they won at both kudos.
A couple of the earliest Razzie Award winners actually rank among the most highly regarded actors of all time. For instance, the legendary Laurence Olivier claimed the Best Actor Oscar for the title role in “Hamlet” (1948). He earned 10 other Oscar nominations over the course of his career and received two Honorary Oscars. But he was also undefeated at the Razzies, winning Worst Supporting Actor for “The Jazz Singer” (1980) in the very first year of the awards,...

It might be a bit surprising to see the beloved Judi Dench in contention for an award calling out the worst achievements in film, but such was the effect of “Cats,” the widely ridiculed movie musical that leads this year’s Razzie noms. The good news, though, is that even if she wins she’ll be in good company. More than a dozen Oscar-winning actors have won Razzies too.
SEERazzies: Every Worst Picture Winner 1981 to Today
Dench, a Best Supporting Actress winner for “Shakespeare in Love” (1998), is now up for Worst Supporting Actress for her role as Old Deuteronomy, the leader of the Jellicle cats who was actually played by male actors on Broadway and the West End. This Razzies category alone has gone to Oscar winners Faye Dunaway and Kim Basinger.
Dunway also won Worst Actress for “Mommie Dearest” (1981). That category has gone to even more Oscar champs: Liza Minnelli...

Exclusive: Tiffany Haddish might be the hottest young film actress out there right now. Several studios bid for her fall slot, and scrappy Paramount Pictures just won the day. She’ll start production in October on Limited Partners, a pitch that the studio bought for her last October, right after she emerged as a breakout talent in Girls Trip. Miguel Arteta will direct the comedy written by Sam Pitman & Adam Cole-Kelly.
The premise is a friendship comedy about two hard charging best girlfriends who build a juggernaut company, and find their relationships tested when they are made a big buyout offer. Suddenly all the differences that made them perfect odd couple partners put them at war, threatening their business and personal relationships. There are shades of Superbad meets Bridesmaids, I’m told. Among those who vied for Haddish was Warner Bros with Bobby Sue, a comic vehicle originally developed for Cameron Diaz,...

We'll freely admit The Office is a show that we cycle through time and time again, tossing quotes back and forth with our co-workers when the mood strikes. You can do a lot with a well-placed, "Save Bandit!" But we decided that a trivia game was in order to see who was memorizing and knows the show in and out. We rounded up two of our most hardcore Office superfans (kind of our Jim and Andy) and had them battle it out for the ultimate prize of a Dundie. And if you feel you're up to the challenge, we'd just like to ask you... What did Ryan burn in order to get his nickname, "The Fire Guy"? (Photo Credit: NBC/Giphy) While he was still essentially "The Temp," Ryan was adamant about keeping a low profile. "I don't wanna be, like, a guy here, you know," he says. "Like, Stanley...

“There are no crazy people, doctor; we’re all just on vacation.”
Jack Sholder’s Alone in the Dark (1982) builds its whole premise around this quote, a fun, underloved and winkingly perverse little beaut from the burgeoning minds at New Line Cinema, two years before Freddy stepped out of the shadows - and right around the time slashers were retreating into them.
Released in North America in November, Aitd was one of New Line’s first forays into film production, focusing on distribution only, up until the mid 70’s. Some decent notices were not enough to put audiences in seats, and that’s just cuckoo – Aitd succeeds in melding a couple of sub genres (slasher & siege) with a dollop of pop psychology guaranteed to etch a smile onto even the most disordered horror lover’s face.

As usual, let's begin with a brief history lesson.
Fright Night (1985) arrives from Columbia Pictures and writer/director Tom Holland (he'd later go on to direct Child's Play, The Temp, and Thinner), becomes a modest box office hit, and goes on to become a nostalgic favorite among horror fans of a certain age. (Like me.) Essentially a teenager vs. vampire rendition of Alfred Hitchcock's Rear Window, the original Fright Night was about a kid who discovers that his new neighbor is a murderous bloodsucker -- but of course nobody believes him. Fright Night Part 2 (1987) reunited the kid (William Ragsdale) and the reluctant hero (Roddy McDowall) from the first movie, but the plot (about a female vampire with a serious grudge) wasn't nearly as novel. Worth a look for fans of the original Fright Night, but certainly nothing too memorable. Fright Night (2011) brought a very amusing Colin Farrell to...

This latest, unwanted addition to the 'stalker thriller' genre might already have the 2012 Razzies sewn up
The competition for worst movie of the year is at its fiercest, oddly, in the first months of the year – that post-Christmas graveyard of shelved and botched movies, a dumping ground for backfired investments and projects. Disgraced, orphaned and despised, spring releases run headlong for the shadows in shame, like cockroaches, oblivion their only destination, a Golden Razzie their only acclamation.
So step up, The Roommate – a wan, college-based nightmare about getting dormitoried up with a complete stranger who turns out to be a jealous, possibly bi-curious, certainly bi-furious psychopath – now a sterling contender for that worst picture Razzie in 2012. In addition to being an airless and sinewless exercise in how not to manufacture suspense, delineate relationships or surprise an audience even once, Roommates shows the bottoming out of a trend that goes back...

Writer/director Tom Holland is best known for his work on such genre staples as Fright Night (which he wrote), Child’s Play (which he wrote and directed), as well as his work on films like Thinner, the TV movie The Stranger Within, The Temp and the Masters of Horror episode “We All Scream for Ice Cream.” What many may not know is that before Holland became known for his work behind the camera, he spent a lot of time in front of the camera.
Working for years as an actor in such television series as "Combat!", "The Young Lawyers", "Medical Center", and "The Incredible Hulk", Holland was a journeyman actor before he created some of the most influential horror franchises in the Eighties.
Last year Holland returned to acting by appearing as “Uncle Bob” in Adam Green’s Hatchet II. A follow-up to Green’s 2006 swamp slasher pic of the same name,...

A sequel, Fright Night Part 2, opened in 1988.
