Geoff,
don't be too hard on your Canadian film/TV industry, most of the stuff we get over here, from over there is, is very good. Love the sense of humour, just a wee bit more subtle than your Southern neighbours.
NB I've broken our National Oath in praising another country, and so promise not to do so again.
Rich.

I plan on going to see the film this afternoon. There are more clips about the film on Sympatico.

Default The movie-

We were invited (as members of the Army Reserve) to go and see a preview of this flick.

For the most part quite good, but it didn't have much to do with Paschendale at all.

I think I've seen the best treatment of an artillery barrage in a movie - possibly next to A Bridge Too Far. It was actually awe - inspiring.

One of the NCO's thought it was just a good way to explain how Grandma got knocked up by a soldier.......
