Movie Preview: George Clooney directs “The Boys in the Boat”

I remember liking the book, about rowing and the 1936 Hitler Olympics that Jesse Owens ruined for the Austrian corporal.

I also remember when “George Clooney directs” ginned up a lot of buzz. He’s taken on another history lesson, but after bombing out with “Catch-22” and underwhelming with “Monuments Men,” “Suburbicon,” “Midnight Sky” and “The Tender Bar,” the bloom is off the Amalfi Coast rose.

That’s a lot of misses or near misses in a row.

Still, we’ll see.
