Oldie But A Goodie

About one year ago, I turned on my TV on a lazy Sunday morning and saw that The History Channel was playing the entire Band of Brothers mini series. One episode after the other and I decided to watch them all.

I'm now halfway through watching the series for the third time and I just want to sing my praises for Band of Brothers once more. If you haven't had a chance to watch the show, then I highly recommend buying the DVDs ($70 CDN) or at least renting them from Blockbuster. The story, the acting, the cinematography; it's all very good. It follows Easy Company, an elite group of paratroopers, from training to the end of the war.

The same team that created Band of Brothers is currently working on a new mini series chronicling the battles in the pacific. The projected release is in 2009, so you'll have some time to watch the original and decide whether or not you're a fan.
