Hanks and Spielberg developing WW2 8th Airforce Mini series

Band of Brothers had you connecting with the main characters right from episode one, fantastic series.

Pacific was all over the place, individual episodes were very good but overall it was a fail.

Red Tails never made it here so cannot comment on it.

BoB is still on my all time list.. P was good.. it had it's moments.. RT was bad... very bad. I was so disappointed. Most of The Airmen I know were as well.. and I know several from the E.C.C.T.A.I. The best part about that movie was the fight scenes.. and some of them were suspect and all of them were tainted by the dialog. That had to be one of the absolute worst .. I mean worst scripts I have ever heard. Even the score was hokey.

Band of Bombers??? Sounds great!

I certainly agree about the Pacific. They missed the mark there in the way the thing was paced and delivered. Red Tails was an order of magnitude worse though, and I found I had to turn the volume down and watch the last half of the movie in silence. It was the first time I've ever had to do that.

I wonder how bad the RAF will be made to appear......

If you're in the mood for a bomber flick check out "Fortress".

Although I would have done things a bit differently if they had asked me I thought it was well done overall.

I started watching Fortress some time ago. Haven't finished it yet but the idea seems sound. The actors have a very limited range however. Watching them stand as a group and try to portray hangovers or fatigue is hilarious as they experiment with different facial expressions.
