I f for some reason you have not yet watched the 2001 mini-series Band of Brothers , well, get off your ass and go rent and/or buy it. It’s the greatest achievement in cinema as far as recreating the American perspective of World War II and I think most people that have watched it in its entirely would be in agreement. Needless to say, I’ve been pretty excited to see more about the next great WWII mini-series that, like Band of Brothers , is produced by Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks. The fight in the Pacific was just as fascinating and frightening as that in Europe, but has largely been forgotten when it comes to Hollywood and American ...

When a miniseries sustains its integrity and scope across several episodes, I’m inclined to think of it as an epic-length film, the equal of Sergei Bondarchuk’s War and Peace, Fassbinder’s Berlin Alexanderplatz, Abel Gance’s Napoléon, and von Stroheim’s lost masterpiece Greed. Last year John Adams met that criteria for me. Eight years ago, HBO made what stands, for me, as the greatest war movie of all time — Band of Brothers, clocking in at 11 hours and 45 minutes.

Band of Brothers rewind, episode 9: "Why We Fight"
What's Alan Watching? —
We're in our final week of looking back on "Band of Brothers," with spoilers for the penultimate episode, "Why We Fight," coming up just as soon as I borrow your lighter...

The first half focuses on Captain Nixon quest for Vat 69. To this point in the series, Nixon's role has been primarily to offer exposition (as a battalion strategist, he knows more about the big picture than Dick ...

Behind the Scenes look at HBO’s new WWII series THE PACIFIC
GeekTyrant —
Band of Brothers is one of the great TV series that has aired on TV. It followed the lives of a group of American soldiers from Easy Company that had to fight their way through Europe during World War II. The series blew me away. Now Steven Speilberg and Tom Hanks have come back together to bring us a new World War II series on HBO called The Pacific, which follows three American G.I.’s in the Pacific theater, from their initial landing at Guadalcanal, to Iwo Jima and Okinawa, and all the way through to V-J Day and back stateside.
