Looks like we have some great film and TV coming our way pretty soon, military history buffs!
First up, "The Monuments Men" a movie from George Clooney that covers a group of soldiers from WWII tasked with recovering the art stolen by the Nazis during the war. Great cast, and I really trust Clooney to do it up right.
EDIT: Whoops! Apparently this clip is NOT from the HBO series, but a clip from a proposal for a show. Sorry! Whatever, the info I included is correct, and the clip is still cool, so I'll leave it:)
And how about this... from HBO, Steven Spielberg, and Tom Hanks a NEW WWII series, "The Mighty 8th" which will track a bomber squadron through the war. It looks VERY stressful, as any show that covers bombers will... I always thought it the story of the bombers was more stressful than many realize. The network is spending a HALF A BILLION DOLLARS on the series, so I have high hopes for the visuals in particular!
Can't wait... will tide me over until Napoleon finally hits HBO ;)
