Generation Kill
added by newsBotAs an heir to the wartime realism of Combat! and Band Of Brothers, the HBO miniseries Generation Kill shares a fascination with how the big gears of military campaigning affect the small gears on the front. Based on Rolling Stone reporter Evan Wright's book of the same name—about a U.S. Marine reconnaissance battalion in the early days of the 2003 Iraq invasion—Generation Kill is partly a critique of how the Iraq war has been mishandled, and partly a matter-of-fact depiction of soldiering in the 21st century, a few generations removed from the succession of wars that defined so much of American history. As depicted in Generation Kill, the Marines of First Recon arrive in Iraq simultaneously overtrained and underprepared, supplied with cutting-edge technology and no batteries, and led by commanders they openly distrust—often with good reason. So they do what grunts have done for as long as there've been wars:.

HBO's 'Band of Brothers' Re-Run on Spike
added by newsBotPocketing 6 Emmy Awards and a Golden Globe, "Band of Brothers" that originally aired on HBO in 2001 will return to the small screen via Spike. The American cable network has secured the right to re-run the mini series later this year.
No fix date has been set for the first of the 10-episodes series, but Spike aims it to air in the third quarter. This can provide as a cushion to another world war movie "The Pacific" which will be premiered on HBO in early 2009. Both "Band of Brothers" and "The Pacific" are produced by winning duo Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg.
"Band of Brothers", based on real-life events, follow Easy Company, 506th Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division, from their initial training starting in 1942 to the end of World War II. It stars Damian Lewis, Donnie Wahlberg and Ron Livingston among others.
