Subject: Re: movies
I liked Band of Brothers. The book was good too.

Harry Potter is a good example of that. Classic good vs evil, but in a very different world that was rich in textures.

Yes, I thought HP was good for my kids. Harry and friends were good role models.

Thought of another: the latest Dune films. I really enjoyed them. My boys and I had read the books (they got further than me). We were excited to see the movies.

I see a Starship Trooper remake is in the works. I read the book only recently...Heinlein was one weird dude. Enjoyed the book, though.
