Following the successful combination of Stephen Spielberg and Tom Hanks in Saving Private Ryan, the two paired up once more for the screen portrayal of Ambrose's book.

My boyfriend got the Band of Brothers box-set and at first I wasn't all that interested. I'm more into light romantic comedies than heavy war stories. However, I gave it a chance and I am so glad I did. Band of Brothers is exceptionally well produced and the acting is amazing. The story is brought alive by the main characters with whom you ...  Read the complete review

In every film genre there is an obvious evolution in the way the product changes. The obvious changes happen for reasons of technical improvements in the actual specifics of recording, effects and in more recent times computer driven break through. But more interesting that the hardware and studio skills is the way that genres change their nature ...  Read the complete review

Having missed the first running of the BBC drama 'Band of Brothers', I was eager to watch the repeats of the series. The World War Two drama is based on the experiences of American G.I.s during their service. The cast lacks any big Hollywood stars, but the production team of Stephen Spielberg and Tom Hanks, almost guarantees high ...  Read the complete review

I have watched many war movies. Superb classics like Full Metal Jacket, Platoon, 12 O'clock High, Midway, Patton and many more. These movies have lots of action, a degree of violence but these movies always have one important item that they don't leave out, the morality of the soldiers when they are faced with certain death during combat. ...  Read the complete review

Before the start of this ten part war drama, there was a terrific amount of publicity and hype about this programme. The combination of Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg gave the promise that this series was going to be something very special. Some of the facts and figures about this series are quite dramatic. The series took nine months to ...  Read the complete review

Amidst all the hype, it was always possible that HBO's $120 million miniseries would not live up to expectations. True it has two of Hollywood's most powerful players, Spielberg and Hanks behind it, but it also takes on a huge subject matter with a cast of unknowns. Apparently in the States it hasn't done too well. Far be it ...  Read the complete review

As I write this, the Band of Brothers series has had 4 episodes. I had the shw earmarked mentally as one to watch, having heard so much about it, but completely forgot about it when the first double episode was shown (doh!). Good thing a mate taped it, because I am now hooked. In a way, watching Band of Brothers is like actually being ...  Read the complete review

One of the best war dramas on television for some time is showing on friday evenings on BBC2. As the title suggests, it's about a troop of soldiers, Easy company, who take part in the invasion of France in 1944, and who live, fight and die together. Produced by Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg, and a supposed sequel to Private Ryan, ...  Read the complete review

Spielberg and Hanks have teamed up to try and transfer their Private Ryan success to the small screen. Their input is mostly hard cash, although the brilliant director tends to step in when his name and talent, let alone money have been misrepresented. I watched Private Ryan at the cinema and like most nearly retched up from the ...  Read the complete review
