Based on real events, "The Final Season" is one of those rare sports dramas that gets the details right without getting too "Hollywood." In 1991, after winning 19 state championships in 24 years, the high school baseball team in Norway, Iowa is forced to have a final season due to budget cuts.
Powers Booth plays a legendary coach forced out of his job and Sean Astin is his replacement. It's a good solid film and one that's worth a look.
Anyone needing another fix of last year's hit "The Departed" should check out "We Own the Night," a new drama that bears a striking resemblance to Martin Scorsese's film. Mark Wahlberg and Joaquin Phoenix play two brothers who choose very different paths in life. It has twists and turns and is entertaining.
