And I didn't see defiance, but wasn't it a Polish/German resistance? Plus you can end a Pacific theatre movie with an Atom bomb. Always fun.

The game had its woes, but I don't blame its developer for giving a shot at looking at that theater.

Not all that many recently since Flags of Our Fathers and Letters from Iwo Jima. In the past year I saw Valkyrie and Defiance, both WWII Europe. Valhalla, ah Pacific, fair enough.

I don't count Inglorious Basterds... it's a dark comedy. And I mean WWII in the Pacific. Most WWII movies I've seen/heard of were Atlantic/Europe. Really?

There have been lots of WWII movies recently. I would love to see WWI movies with GCI. WWII or WWI? There have been lots of WWII movies recently.

Wonder how they got the landing vehicles?
