HBO has put out some quality programming over the years, but if you’re anything like me, the cream of the crop aired in 2001 when Band of Brothers aired.  Following the success of Saving Private Ryan, Stephen Spielberg and Tom Hanks set out to tell the story of E Company (”Easy Company”) of the 2^nd Battalion, 506^th Parachute Infantry Regiment assigned to the 101^st Airborne Division during World War II.  The duo is at it again, this time focusing on the United States Marine Corps’ actions in the Pacific theater of World War II.  With a budget of over $200 million, it seems they’re pulling out all of the stops.  Lucky for us, the first trailer of The Pacific has surfaced, and it looks pretty sweet.

If you haven’t seen Band of Brothers already, head on over to Amazon.com and pick it up on Blu-ray for the criminally low price of $43.99.
