The Boys in the Boat (2023)

A 1930s-set story centered on the University of Washington's rowing team, from their Depression-era beginnings to winning gold at the 1936 Berlin Olympics.

A really uplifting and feel good sports drama set in the 1930s. It is predictable but yet still very enjoyable. I really enjoyed it. This is also an excellent movie that you can watch with the whole family.

P.S. I think Callum Turner should throw in his name into the "next Bond" ring. I think he has the potential to make an excellent Bond.

Smiffina Episodes: Exit Wound

Peter returns to the station to try and speak to Gina. Diane and Dan see him first and say they'll go get her. Dan tries to boost her and his expression as his brain catches up with his mouth is adorable 😂

Peter tells Gina he wants to give her some flowers and she sighs, pointing out it's her place of work - and she knows people are watching and gossiping. She tries to remain polite, telling him the flowers are very pretty but it's all a bit late. He explains he's left Mary, it's Gina that he loves and he wants to move on with her - if she will.

To escape all eyes on her in the station, Gina heads out with Dan and Reg to an abandoned 999 call. Dan finds a lady out cold and shouts for Gina. Whilst Reg does a Reg and tries to sweet talk the ladies budgie that has gotten out of its cage.

At the moment everything seems to point towards a break in. The woman's fiance returns home and says she has a heart condition. Gina asks him to answer questions and then they'll take him to the hospital. Dan reports that a girl has been seen in the area knocking on doors to raise money for Canley Youth Club refurbishment. The spare key is not where it usually is and the scenes of crime officer tells Gina that the smashed window was faked and was not the real scene of entry. Dan locates the girl on CCTV and Gina recognises her as a known shoplifter. The victims fiance claims he was on his morning walk when the break in happened but admits the couple argue a lot and that his fiancée, Lillian had threatened to call the wedding off.

Gina heads to the magistrates court for a warrant, but not before Dan puts his foot in it again asking her if it'll be a social call! The literal terrified step back and gulp...! 😂😂

Gina receives a warrant for the known shoplifter, Sally's, house as her fingerprints have been found all over Lillian's phone. Peter comes running after her but she refuses to be drawn to go for a drink or to meet him later. Peter points out that whilst he was married he was a low risk commitment but now he reckons she's terrified she might have to admit she cares about someone. Gina finds the sponsorship form and Sally tries to pretend it's nothing to do with her and that she's never seen it before - and that she hadn't been on the road in question, except the sponsorship form gives her away. In the kitchen Reg has found Lilian's jewellery, credit cards and passport. After some initial mouthing off, she admits going round to the house and says she broke the window to break in and took a few things. She insists she didn't know anything was wrong with Lillian and thought she wasn't in. When she saw her unconscious she says she rang 999 without speaking and left. Gina scoffs and tells her more likely she broke in, stole things and upset Lillian with the shock and caused the heart attack. The fiance identifies the jewellery but says he doesn't understand how Sally got it as it would have been in a safe hidden in the kitchen and that noone - not even him - knows the combination other than Lillian. Sally admits that she saw the safe, followed Lillian inside when she tried to check that her youth club scam was legit - threatened her into opening it when she said she didn't feel well - she then collapsed.

Gina calls Peter to meet her and tells him that it has to be goodbye. She knows herself well enough to know when something isn't right for her and she knows that this isn't right - and that she'd never fully trust him.

EIGHT MEN IN

Merry Christmas everyone! Now in theaters:

The Boys in the Boat--The 1936 Berlin Olympics was a highly satisfying episode for the good guys. Most famously, when Der Fuehrer said his was the Master Race, Jesse Owens heiled (phfft!) heiled (phfft!) right in Der Fuehrer's face. It wasn't enough to prevent the war that was coming, but it was a great foreshadowing of who would win.

Yet alongside that glorious debunking of supposed Aryan racial superiority, right under the noses of its promulgators, was another splendid underdog story. Briefly played by Jyuddah Jaymes, Owens is a minor figure in this period spectacle about the improbable rise of the University of Washington's eight-man crew to compete for the U.S. in those same games. It's directed by George Clooney from a script by Mark L. Smith, based on Daniel James Brown's 2013 book.

The story was remarkable before the crew got to Berlin. The UW boys were already upstarts in the sport, long associated with elite, affluent Eastern schools. This crew included working class, Depression-era grunts; the focus is on Joe Rantz (Callum Turner), who when we first meet him is literally homeless. He lives in a junked car in a Seattle hobo jungle, patching the holes in the soles of his shoes while trying to eke out an engineering degree. He joins the crew for the stipend and the roof over his head.   

"Eight-man crew is the most difficult of all team sports," the coach here pronounces to the aspirants. "The average human body is just not meant for such things." I once had occasion to learn first-hand that my below-average human body wasn't meant for such things. Two of my nieces rowed crew, and back in the '80s I myself had the opportunity to take a one-man shell out onto the Potomac River; my near-helplessness in managing to get the thing to go anywhere gave me a small taste of how much delicate skill the sport requires, even setting aside its physical demands.

The Boys in the Boat gets across hints of this subtle precision; Clooney shows us, for instance, the hiccup-y little wrist-flip that precedes the return stroke. There's a great deal to like about the film, really, starting with what a wonderful, heartening story it tells. It's handsomely produced, with lustrous cinematography by Martin Ruhe, crisp editing by Tanya M. Swerling and another lovely score by Alexander Desplat. And it has rich, sometimes fascinating period detail, like the swanky spectator trains that run along the river banks at the fancier courses.

But as with several of Clooney's earlier directorial efforts, this movie is well-made, well-intentioned, good-hearted and generally enjoyable without being entirely satisfying. And unlike, say, The Monuments Men or The Tender Bar, it doesn't even have vivid star character actors to liven things up.

Joel Edgerton as Coach Al Ulbrickson and Peter Guinness as master boat-maker George Pocock are authoritative presences, but not complex characters. The guys playing the crew aren't, as in the standard sports movie template, a ragtag band of misfits with distinctive oddball personalities; they're just pleasant, good-looking young men. Rantz's coed love interest (Hadley Robinson) tries to generate some playful, mischievous heat, but she's rowing upstream opposite her bland leading man.

Overall, this film has the flavor of a feature length Super Bowl commercial. Like the best of those commercials, it can raise an inspirational tingle. But I don't know that it does much more in two hours than a good Super Bowl commercial can do in sixty seconds.

The Boys in the Boat - Movie Review

TL;DR – A perfectly okay film that refuses to integrate any of the themes it proports to be exploring. ⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 2.5 out of 5. Post-Credit Scene – There is no post-credit scene.Disclosure – I was invited to a press screening of this film. The Boys in the Boat Review – Today, we look at an interesting biographical film because, at its core, it is more interesting for what it does not do…

The Last Boy (2019)

My rating: 5/10

A bit slow and more concerned with Being Poetic (TM) than actually telling a coherent story, but you know, apart from that it's fine.

The Boys In The Boat Review- An Inspiring Sports Film With An Amazing Score By Alexander Desplat

I’ve seen a lot of sports movies in my day. Most of them have been based on true stories or biopics. George Clooney has even directed one himself before, Leatherheads. The Boys In the Boat is his second sports film he has directed, but he didn’t start in this one. It’s another inspirational sports film that follows a lot of the tropes of sports films in the past. Joe Rantz (Callum Turner) is a…
