"Dark Shadows" is not the worst movie that Tim Burton has ever made, but that's only because there's nothing worse than "Alice in Wonderland." A desperate jumble of ideas in search of deeper substance, much less focus, Burton's latest collaboration with actor Johnny Depp is the latest, and perhaps greatest, proof that yet exists for the director: he's a hell of a production designer. Given the film's incredible lack of cohesion – or follow-through – it feels like the resigned end result of a studio's best efforts to whittle an unwieldly mess into something manageable, but far too many of its shortcomings remain exposed for it to play as anything other than a showcase for the star and filmmaker's laziness, hubris, or both.
Depp plays Barnabas Collins, a wealthy New England landowner condemned to eternal torment as a vampire after he rebuffs the attentions of a chambermaid named Angelique (Eva Green) who dallies in witchcraft. After watching his beloved fiancée Josette (Bella Heathcote) hurl herself off a cliff, Barnabas allows himself to be buried by the local townspeople, but 200 years later he's unceremoniously exhumed, his thirst for blood more intense than ever. Returning to his family's estate, Barnabas soon discovers that his descendants have left his fortunes in disarray. As frantically as Elizabeth Collins Stoddard (Michelle Pfeiffer) tries to keep the Collinses together, her brother Roger (Jonny Lee Miller) neglects his son David (Gulliver McGrath) and indulges in some proper 1970s-style hedonism instead of dealing with the death of his wife, even as her rebellious daughter Carolyn (Chloe Grace Moretz) holes up in her room, dreaming of a different kind of escape.
Retrieving a few treasures from a secret hideaway in the recesses of the family mansion, Barnabas vows to restore the Collinses to their former glory. But his plan is interrupted first when he's overpowered by the resemblance between his beloved Josette and David's young nanny Victoria (Heathcote again), and then again when he realizes that Angelique is very much alive, has turned herself into the town's favorite citizen, and still holds a grudge against him.
Precisely how bad "Dark Shadows" is is not immediately apparent: the opening flashback, and the introduction of Victoria both hold as much promise as they do perfunctory exposition. But even with Depp doing marginally more work than he does as Jack Sparrow – albeit indulging all of the same weirdo-cartoon muscles – there isn't much reason to care for Barnabas, even after his lover commits suicide and he's sentence to an eternity as a vampire. Worse, the other introductory idea, that Victoria is somehow connected to his fiancée (reincarnated? Reborn? Inhabiting the body of the young woman?) is vaguely promoted then dropped almost altogether, as Victoria is seen only about two more times in the film before she and Barnabas declare deep, meaningful feelings for one another. (Not to mention the fact that she's supposed to be David's nanny, and there literally is not one single scene where she is caring for him.)
Other than the weird, aggressively sexual relationship that Barnabas has with Angelique – including a gymnastic fling the two have in which they slam into walls, fly in the air and destroy her corporate office – there seems to be no other significant throughline for any of the action, although the word "family" is repeated often. But "family" is not a story, and neither is a cranked-to-eleven soundtrack which features an indefatigable string of 1970s pop songs that dominate and eventually overshadow whatever might possibly be going on in the narrative. The movie is just disastrously disorganized – there are so many false starts and burnoff endings that have no bearing on the actual beginning, middle and end of what might even generously be described as a plot that it's difficult to imagine what Burton and his actors believed they were making, or what their motivation might have been from one scene to the next.
Speaking of the actors, only Eva Green seems to be relishing the glistening awfulness of her character within the confines of an abominable story – which really only makes sense because hers is the only character whose motivations and behavior are clear and explained. Depp furtively attempts to find the humor in Barnabas' combination of anachronistic self-importance and romantic earnestness, but he's overpowered by the soundtrack, and the lack of any counterbalance by anyone else in the production, Burton included. Pfeiffer does her best, as does Miller, but Moretz makes a dubious accomplishment in giving her first truly awful performance, although I'd give her the benefit of the doubt that there is footage on a cutting room floor which indicates she had more to do, and did more with what she had. As it stands, however, there are few more excruciating moments in the movie than the reaction shots of her staring at the camera in close-up with slack-jawed sneer as she listens to Barnabas' requests for romantic advice.
Heathcote is really likeable and smart in the role of Victoria, but again, she's given so little screen time to develop the role that after a dynamite introduction scene, she vanishes and communicates all of the important feelings and stuff via bland exposition or not at all (because it's not in the movie). It's fairly unforgivable for a character as seemingly important as hers to have so little screen time, much less so little explanation or exploration of her behavior. The mythology of the movie further confuses her identity and her importance – what relation does she have to Josette? – so that at the end we're not quite sure how many tragedies have piled upon one another for things to work out the way they do.
Depressingly, there are few things I'd like to see more than a good Tim Burton movie – I've been a huge fan of his since Large Marge scared the living hell out of me in 1985 – but this kind of crap is just sort of unredeemable, because there's no reason why a filmmaker of his stature and his authority could or should be making movies this shoddily assembled and unengaging. For viewers as much as for him, it's literally impossible to imagine what the point of it might have initially been to undertake this, and then what in it ever could or would have gotten audiences excited about it. Who gives a shit about "Dark Shadows"? Respectfully, nobody who wants to see it brought to the big screen via a post-"Alice in Wonderland" Tim Burton and a post- "Pirates of the Caribbean 4" Johnny Depp. In fact, now that I think about it, maybe this is worse than "Alice in Wonderland."
But even if it isn't, there's nothing better to do with this movie than to damn it with precisely that sort of faint praise, and then hope it disappears quickly from screens. Because "Dark Shadows" is, at its absolute best, an awful movie, an unfocused mess, and a top-notch piece of production and costume design in search of a story. Maybe it's still lurking somewhere in those shadows, but for my money, no more light need be shone on this kind of grim display. [D]

The movie was awesome it is one of the only vampire movies I like I don't even really like the twilight movies but dark shadows I give 10 thumbs up I would like to see a second with the same actors! Especially Johnny Depp he was awesome in this movie!

i swear this isn't a bad movie i am obsesed with this movie and it may see a little boring but everyone is entitled to their own opinion so if anyone says that no one ever should watch this movie you are wrong because u should give them a chance

Keth | June 22, 2012 12:11 PM
If anything this movie proves to me the power of 'Contractual Obigations', when I recall Depps painted-on-smile at the Hollywood Premiere. It is a terrible film: Fact. None of the characters bar one or two are fully formed. Add to this the incoherent storyline, that halfway through becomes a rambling mess.
That a director of Burton's calibre could proceed to make this mess, having read the script first is beyond belief, and only goes to reinforce the fact that it's easier to release a movie that'll bomb rather than re-write or cancel.
I hope they had fun making it, - not fun to watch. A real pity.
PotatoBob123 | May 29, 2012 6:56 PM
i saw this movie yesterday and i swear it wasnt a bad movie. i think everyone should watch this film because its exciting and thrilling with some humor.
Bea | May 14, 2012 11:51 PM
This was a fun movie, not a replication of the tv series although there were some great references that took one back to the original time period of Dark Shadows. The 70s infusion was comical. LOVED IT!
Penny Johnson | May 14, 2012 4:58 AM
It was a painful experience -after 5 minutes of watching DS the movie -it was abundonly clear that no one associated with the movie ever saw the beloved tv series, if they had, they should be ashamed of their disrespect to the shows enduring qualities and beloved original cast. I am sure no one will be rushing home from school to watch this embarrasingly, cheap farce. On the other hand, the DVD sets of the original series are sold out and additional press dates for more sets are flying off the pre-order shelves. Doesn't this tell you something? Why not take a really good thing and make it better - not destroy it, RIP Jonathan Fried - I am thankful you did not suffer throught this subclass attempt to cash in on DS's enduring success.
Reichenbach | May 12, 2012 7:39 AM
When did it become a crime for directors to make movies for fun? He enjoyed making it, Depp enjoyed being a part of it, and as someone whose only past references of "Dark Shadows" comes from her mother, I enjoyed the s**t out of this movie. Yeah, I asked if any of it was in relation to the TV show, and was told that it wasn't, but more like an overview, condensed series of events.
Does it make me want to watch the actual show? Yes, after I finish my marathon watch of Classic Doctor Who, Red Dwarf, The Legend of Korra and the other dozen of shows that catch my interest.
And what draws my attention to these shows? That the way I was introduced to them was by means of someone else having a blast making them and sharing something about them to me.
So no, ROCHELLE, the people of my generation could have an interest in the Original show. Because if it's as well done as you claim, it will hold our attention, just like the current versions of Sherlock does, and period pieces like Downton Abbey. If they can even find this show, it's a testament to their love of media and assuming that they won't enjoy it is to group them with the mindless that keep Jersey Shore and The Real Housewives of Don't Give A F**k on the air. You are entitled to your opinion, but you have no right to generalize an entire generation; it's ageist and hurtful and goes both ways.
As for my thoughts on Tim Burton movies, it remains the same as it did when I was 7: The man is magical, his movies put a smile on my face, and for anyone to not see that, well BOO on them for being a bit too grown up to enjoy things once in their lives.
Rochelle | May 11, 2012 10:51 PM
Well n all honesty, it would be difficult to make a true traditional Dark Shadows Movie. The only problem is that there is SO much story line with the wonderful series, it would be difficult to fit it in. That being said, they advertised it as a comedy. At least they did that. It was a funny film, and somewhat of an introduction for today's generation into Dark Shadows. It's a wonderful show, but I can say with some certainty that there are a lot of kids and young adults in today;s generation who wouldn't watch it. It wouldn't hold their interest with the special effects, the lack of sex, vulgarity and violence. It was toned down for that era. All in all it was a funny film, to anyone who is actually disappointed, you never watched the trailers. (They have those for a reason you know).
lenij | May 11, 2012 4:36 AM
Saw Dark Shadows yesterday and it didn't live up to any of my expectations. It's so messy, I don't even know where to begin. I thought this one is going to be much better than Alice (also disappointing). Depp has his moments but there a lot of painful and uncomfortable scenes. Love Eva Green though, i think she's the only bright light in the tunnel. They're even setting it up so that if Tim decided that he wants another big pay check they'll have a sequel (sigh).
Mila | May 10, 2012 3:51 PM
Has anybody on here saw or read interview with Tim about this movie.
He didn't want to recreate Dark Shadows series. He wanted to make a movie that is funny and enjoyable and that makes fun of vampires, supernatural and itself. And he did it.
It is not meant to be masterpeace. Lot of haters here.
P.S. Twilight is disgusting and please do not compare it with Tim Burton's films.
gurlbye | May 10, 2012 3:37 AM
flop opinion, stay pressed like a panini
Arwen | May 10, 2012 3:25 AM
To Cirkusfolk...personally I liked Big Fish but only some of Burton's films. I never liked Edward Scissorhands. I thought it was disgusting. I did like Alice in Wonderland though and a couple others. I haven't seen Dark Shadows and I do not intend to because other than using character names, it is NOT Dark Shadows. They destroyed it by what they did to it. I don't know what Depp and Burton think at times to make such changes to a story that has a cult following. This was a hair-brained idea to make it a spoof and basically corrupt the original story line. It isn't worth seeing as Dark Shadows. They should have changed all the character names and location and made an independent horror-comedy because what they did do will piss off a lot of hardcore fans such as myself. I have seen enough in trailers and reviews to know I would be upset watching this travesty.
cirkusfolk | May 9, 2012 11:17 AM
And I assume in time you'll also say Big Fish isn't good, another film I didn't like yet critics did. Face it, Burton has made 5 good films: Pee Wee, Beetlejuice, Batman, Edward Scissorhands and Ed Wood..that is it. No not Batman Returns, no not Sleepy Hollow...only the 5 I said.
cirkusfolk | May 9, 2012 11:12 AM
Ha, now all the sudden everyone doesn't like Sweeney Todd? I remember people swooning over it when it came out, and it did get good reviews by the critics. I myself did not like it and always stood by my opinion. Glad to see you all coming around now.
caro | May 9, 2012 10:56 AM
i live in France and i saw the movie this morning .
It's fun and Eva Green steals the show and every one seems to have fun times.
There is no real plot or motivation but it's not endless
Marko | May 9, 2012 8:31 AM
But Kevin Jagernauth kept sounding so excited for this!
Kob | May 9, 2012 4:05 AM
Just one thing I would like to know. The review blames a lack of story, no follow-throughs on what it suggests and poor handling of its characters, and yet the overwhelming criticism is of Burton? What about Seth-Grahame Smith and John August's role in this apparent disappointment. Why is Burton made out to be the villain of the piece Todd?
joe | May 9, 2012 2:15 AM
do you hate these guy? you did not very bad about twilight. if you hate , don't try to transfer this sense to other .
Lucy | May 9, 2012 1:54 AM
Sad to read Tim Burton made such charming, whimsical films in the past. What happened Tim? And same with Johnny Depp What's Eating Gilbert grape? Where did that Depp go? I miss that guy and Tim too. Such talent but they are slowly disappearing into caricatures.
Chuck | May 9, 2012 1:06 AM
I saw "Alice and Wonderland" and, you're right, it was utterly incoherent, boring and non-whimsical. A lot of Burton's stuff is like that -- it looks great, but it's empty and incoherent and choppy ("Mars Attacks"). Having said that, "Ed Wood" is one of my favorite movies; I guess if you make enough movies, one or two of them accidentally turn out to be great.
Bill the Lizard | May 9, 2012 12:27 AM
"...an unfocused mess -- a top-notch piece of production and costume design in search of a story."
Doesn't this describe the last several Tim Burton movies? All icing - NO CAKE!
jimmiescoffee | May 8, 2012 10:02 PM
@BONZOB ...i like 'mars attacks'...... 'charlie and the chocolate factory' ... 'planet of the apes'... 'alice in wonderland' and 'dark shadows' are big budget messes if you ask me
Dryer | May 8, 2012 9:59 PM
Burton's been on a downward trend since Planet of The Apes. The guys become a studio property to produce merchandise for Tweens at Spencer Gift outlets. Im just glad I grew up on the Tim Burton of PeeWee, Batman & Beetlejuice, when his name actually meant something. Now all I can do is laugh when I see kids getting served trailers with lines like 'From The Director of Alice In Wonderland' and truly feel sorry for their choice in movies.
lolitahaze | May 8, 2012 9:29 PM
Tim Burton has never been that good of a filmmaker. He's existed by stealing the ideas and designs of artists like Edward Gorey for a long time. Now he's completely out of ideas and people are finally starting to notice his desperation and lack of ability. About time.
Joan P. Higgins | May 8, 2012 9:04 PM
I agree completely!!
Stealth | May 8, 2012 8:58 PM
Did we see the same movie? This is a fantastically fun movie, that makes fun of itself - johnny shined .. It shows how great Eva Green is- go cover an action film... Seems like your reviews are more geared for guns girls and bs... geez!!!!
jimmiescoffee | May 8, 2012 7:51 PM
what the fuck happened to you burton? all being said, you've only made 4 bad films (this included) but its getting weird now. remakes of everything? including your own SHIT?!?
Oogle monster | May 8, 2012 7:25 PM
This makes me so sad. I loved Sweeney Todd and I really don't get all the hate for Alice in Wonderland. Beetlejuice and Edward Scissorhands will live on.
canali | May 8, 2012 7:20 PM
most of us die hard DS fans had already imagined this massacre from 'burton the butcher of seville'....wasn't his destruction of that other classic 'planet of the apes' enough?...puh-lease burton, save your 'reimaginings' for home movies or the indi front...or your journal...not the big screen.
...too bad burton didn't have the gonads to stay true to the original...heck if the makers of 'mission impossible' could (despite this generation not being familiar with the franchise) then why couldn't burton the butcher?

Federer serves at 0-0, first set. It is a Monday afternoon in New York, September 2008. His quest for a fifth consecutive U.S. Open title has been a little bumpy, but so has his 2008. After winning three of four slams in both 2006 and 2007 (ceding the French Open to young Rafael Nadal both years), Federer is still searching for his first of the year. He fell to young Novak Djokovic in the semifinals of the Australian Open, he got smoked by Nadal in the French Open finals (game score: Nadal 18, Federer 4), and worst of all, his streak of five straight Wimbledon titles was ended by Nadal in one of tennis' best ever matches.
Still great, still Federer, the man who will eventually set the record for most slam titles has dealt with an existential crisis watching the tennis world catch up to him a bit. But he has been done a favor by a young Scotsman. Twenty-one year old Andy Murray took out Nadal in four grueling sets of the U.S. Open semifinals while Federer knocked off Djokovic in four on the other side of the bracket. Federer may wear the red of a bull-fighter's cape, but he has been the bull to Nadal's fighter of late; granted, he hasn't had much success against young Murray just yet, but there is no question facing Murray is the lesser of two evils at the moment.
The match begins with Dick Enberg in the booth and Murray lined up so far behind the baseline that you can barely see him in front of the massive Louis Armstrong Stadium walls surrounding the court. He is nondescript in gray and white, his unruly, unfortunate hair reined in by a cap. That's disappointing, really. Murray without a hat looks like your high school son who woke up five minutes before you drove him to tennis practice. He carries himself as such, as well. Federer has mystique, Nadal has pouty intensity, and Djokovic is still getting mileage out of the "cocky class clown crossed with Die Hard villain" thing. But Murray walks in with his slumped shoulders and beats you mostly with defense and lovely mechanics.
At once, you see Murray's potential and limitations. He quickly ascended at 19, moving from the mid-60s of the ATP rankings in January 2006 to the mid-teens by year-end. Fourth-round appearances at Wimbledon (straight-set loss to Marcos Baghdatis after an upset of Wimbledon heavyweight Andy Roddick) and the U.S. Open (four-set loss to Nikolay Davydenko) will do that for you. But his progress has been in fits and starts since then. He cycled through a couple of coaches, injured his wrist in 2007, and briefly sank back into the high 20s in April 2008 before a quick, permanent leap into the Top 6. When the rankings come out after this tournament, he will be in the Top 4 for the first time. Four and a half years later, he will still be there.
Despite Murray's depth, Federer will blow 125-mph serves by him down the T. At 40-0, Murray finally gets a serve back, but two shots later Federer laces a crosscourt backhand winner to hold at love.
Federer serves at 1-1, first set. Deuce. It is a Friday evening, I think, in Melbourne, January 2013. It is the middle of the night in the States. Federer is attempting to reach his first Aussie Open final since 2010, when he took out Murray and hoisted the trophy for the fourth time. This is Djokovic Territory now. The world No. 1 has not lost in Melbourne since the 2010 quarterfinals; he smoked Federer and Murray to win the title in 2011 (setting in motion one of the greatest individual years of tennis in the sport's history), took out Murray and Nadal in five sets each in 2012, and rudely emasculated David Ferrer in the semifinals in 2013. But Federer did win two of three matches versus Djokovic in the latter half of 2012, and Murray outdueled him in the U.S. Open finals in September. Djokovic will be the favorite versus either one of these men, but let's not pretend the distance between these three is any larger than it is.
When Federer strikes his first serve, Murray is standing about a step beyond the baseline. He handles the serve with ease and, after a short rally, forces a Federer error and creates what is already his fifth break point of the match. He won't need a sixth. In the middle of a rather mundane rally, Murray rips a vicious crosscourt forehand off of his back leg, and a surprised Federer can't catch up to it. Murray has the break, and after surviving a break point in the next game (the only one Federer will force in the first three sets), he will serve out a 6-4 first-set win. On set point, he mauls a first serve to Federer's backhand, one the 17-time slam champion cannot poke back inbounds.
Murray bounces the ball three times and gets on his way. He is down 2-6, 5-6, love-30 in his first slam final, facing off against tennis royalty, but after he was overwhelmed early on, he has held his own in the second set. He has missed his first serve, but there is little pause before the second. He is no Novak Djokovic, who has gotten in trouble (with fans more than umpires) for his long dribble breaks before important serves. There is almost a defeatist quality to it. "Let's get on with this, yeah?"
Murray spins in a second serve that is not incredibly weak but is not nearly strong enough. Federer chips with the backhand and charges to the net. Murray, already about 100 feet behind the baseline (okay, 10-15) attempts a lob, but it doesn't have nearly enough on it, and Federer slams it down the center of the court. It happens to be where Murray is standing, however, and Murray gets a swipe at it. The half-lob is spinning away from Federer. No matter. Federer spikes it home at an awkward angle and has three set points.
He needs just one. Murray plays a very good point, but Federer plays a great one, eventually blowing an incredibly difficult "running toward the net and flipping a forehand down the line" passing shot past the Scot. Federer is up, two sets to none.
Federer's bag of tricks is far from empty. Despite struggling to make any noise against Murray's serve (Murray wins 27 of 36 service points in the second set, seven via ace), and despite Murray's ridiculously high level of play (17 winners to nine errors in the second set), Federer evens the match at a set apiece. At 5-5 in the second-set tie-breaker, Murray hits a second serve to Federer's backhand. Federer chips at it but doesn't get much depth and, after a single step forward, he retreats as Murray advances toward the net. Murray hits a picture-perfect forehand, and Federer has to stretch to get a backhand to it. Murray doesn't get great force on the ensuing overhead (one that may have been unnecessary, as Federer's lob appeared to be going long), however, and Federer lines up a gorgeous cross-court backhand winner to craft a set point out of thin air. Federer lands his first serve in, forces Murray to his right, and a Murray forehand goes long. Set: Federer.
Still, Murray controls the action. In the third set, he not only wins a sturdy 76 percent of his first-serve points, but he wins 88 percent of his second-serve points. Federer still cannot generate even a single break point, Murray converts one of three, and the Scot takes the third set, 6-3, in just 36 minutes. Murray almost sneers between points now. The hanging head, the slumped shoulders, the beaten posture … all of the things that characterized the Old Murray, even when he was winning, are just about gone. Sure, he has let his hair grow back out a bit after sheering it clean for a while, but after a year with Ivan Lendl as his coach, he has begun to morph into Lendl, the cold, calculating, seemingly emotionless villain of 1980s tennis who won eight slams, including five in a dominant three-year period (1985-87).
Still, like Murray, Lendl was not immune to letting players off the hook Down Under. Like Murray, Lendl was outplayed dramatically in his first Aussie final (a straight-set loss to Mats Wilander in 1983). Like Murray in 2012, he fell in a ridiculous, grueling five-set semifinal to the eventual champion (Stefan Edberg) in 1985. Lendl also let a lower-seeded Pat Cash knock him off in both the 1987 (in four sets) and 1988 (in five) Aussie semis. And while Murray dictates a wide majority of this match with Federer, cracks begin to show at precisely the wrong time.
Federer had finally broken Murray early in the fourth set, and with the way the two had served for most of the middle sets, that looked like all it would take to force this match to a fifth. But down 4-1, Murray battles back, evens the match at 5-5, and breaks Federer at love to go up 6-5 and serve for the match. But after the first point, Federer yells something angrily at Murray (the first word appears to start with an "F", but that's really all we know). Murray smirks in return, but around this time, his second serve gets more shallow, and Federer's shot-making finds fifth gear. At 30-30, Federer unleashes the perfect backhand winner, again crafted seemingly out of thin air; and on his first break point, he stabs at a tough first serve, knocks the return at Murray's feet, and Murray's response sails wide. Federer wins the tie-breaker with ease. It's time for a fifth set, and Federer has all of the momentum.
Murray, however, immediately finds his service depth again. He breaks Federer's serve and goes up 3-0. Before we have even settled in for fifth-set dramatics, Murray, the new Murray, has taken complete control. He went from beaten to breaking in the blink of an eye.
When a young player breaks down, it happens in one of two ways. Either he unleashes a barrage of errors and, occasionally, expletives, and the end comes very, very quickly; or he simply clams up a bit, stops going for winners and allows himself to be beaten. Technically the latter is the way to go -- it forces your opponent to finish you off instead of doing it for him/her. When your defense and speed are as good as Murray's, you can actually survive some lulls by simply getting the ball back and forcing your opponent to hit another few shots. That doesn't work against Roger Federer, of course. His ability to avoid lulls himself, and to hit that damned inside-out forehand with impossible speed at an impossible angle, will take you down sooner than later.
It is quickly 5-2 in the third set. Federer has hit 35 winners to Murray's paltry 15. Murray double-faulted to set up a championship point, but he saved it with a big serve and a brilliant pair of backhand volleys. That he had to hit a second one at all tells you about Federer's level of play. Fed not only retrieved a tough volley trailing away from him, but he shot a BB down the line, one that Murray deftly handled. Federer quickly sets up a second match point, however -- a pair of crushing shots to Murray's backhand is too much, and Murray crawls inside his shirt and yells at himself afterward -- and two of those damned forehands, part topspin, part slapshot, sets up a series of slams and lobs. On the third exchange, Murray's return finds the net, and as always, Federer collapses to the ground.
This one took him a year, but he has secured his 13th slam title. Murray staggers to the net, shakes Federer's hand, and keeps talking to Federer longer than the champion thought he would. Though a Top 4 mainstay, it will take Murray five slams to reach another final, the 2010 Australian Open, where he is wiped out by Federer once again. A year later, in the 2011 Aussie final, he will be dominated by Djokovic in straight sets.
Four hours after the match began, Andy Murray looks like he just slaughtered a lamb. Federer's final forehand goes long, wrapping up a jarringly fast, one-sided fifth set, and Murray walks to the net slowly, filled with both satisfaction and a grim, "It had to be done, but I didn't enjoy it" expression. After a rather bitter match, replete with some F-bombs and a brief bout of smack talk, Federer meets Murray at the net, smiles, congratulates him and pats him on the chest. Murray nods gratefully but says barely a word. He shakes the umpire's hand, throws his wrist bands into the stands via formality, then heads over to talk to Jim Courier for his post-match interview.
Murray: "I didn't see much of [Djokovic's semifinal massacre of David Ferrer]. I heard about it, and I have to play extremely well."
Courier: "Take my word for it. It might be better that you didn't see it."
Something tells me Murray isn't too intimidated.
Talib Kweli wasting not a single word in describing, almost with optimism, a fictional tragedy in the final verse of "Broken Glass." James Baldwin thinking boldly and clearly in the middle of an emotional breakdown in The Fire Next Time. Alabama's defense getting knocked backwards, rocking on its heels and still making the play it needed to make (with some luck) in the final seconds of the 2012 SEC Championship game. Perfection is boring. Heaping spoonfuls of vulnerability stirred into perfection, however, make me want to hug myself and everyone around me.
In this way, tennis has always been a sport that clicked with me. There is an innate vulnerability that penetrates every singles match, and individual rivalries are allowed to go to intense levels when only a net separates two competitors for hours upon hours. But the last few years, the sport has found a new, higher place. In every slam -- Every. Slam. -- you are guaranteed at least one classic semifinal full of plot twists, breakdowns, comebacks and personal drama, and you are guaranteed a classic title fight, a Frazier-Ali heavyweight battle, in the finals.
Andy Murray has caught up, but we already knew that. We knew it when he was blowing Roger Federer off the court in the Olympic gold medal match last summer, not one month after Federer had disposed of him in four sets in the Wimbledon final. We knew it when he became the first person in at least two years to physically outlast Novak Djokovic in the U.S. Open finals, somehow surviving a 7-6, 7-5, 2-6, 3-6, 6-2 battle that took four hours and 54 minutes (the same length as Ivan Lendl's loss to Mats Wilander in the 1988 finals) and was almost too much to take as a viewing experience. We even knew it when, in their first meeting after the U.S. Open finals, Djokovic had to outlast Murray, surviving five match points before winning in three full sets. Tennis' Big 3 of Djokovic-Federer-Nadal became a Big 4 a while back.
Still, Murray's five-set win over Federer, his first over the Swiss legend in a slam, on Day 12 of the 2013 Australian Open proved, or reaffirmed, a couple of key points. First of all, Murray has the attitude, the mentality, and the body language of a champion. His breakthrough was not an accident, and Ivan Lendl's impact on him (along with continued maturity) is palpable and obvious. Second, Roger Federer really hasn't slipped.
Go back and watch the 2008 U.S. Open final. The Federer you see there is remarkably similar to the one we see today. Perhaps the stamina is not quite where it was, from a natural "31 years old is older than 27" perspective. Perhaps his service return betrays him more often now. But the differences are minimal. What is preventing Federer from winning three slams per year right now, especially in Nadal's absence, is not that his game has regressed, but that the games of Djokovic and Murray have caught and, at times, surpassed his. Federer still does not lose to mortals. He has been invulnerable to upsets -- the last time he lost before the quarterfinals of a slam was at the 2004 French Open. That was more than one full year before Murray played in his first slam. He occasionally drops a big match to Tomas Berdych (No. 6 in the world), Juan Martin Del Potro (No. 7) or Jo-Wilfried Tsonga (No. 8), but his record versus that trio is still 12-4 in slams. Most of the time, when Federer loses, it is to a Djokovic, Nadal or Murray playing ridiculously well. And they have to play ridiculously well to take him down.
Men's tennis is just so damn good right now. Djokovic is just about as good as he was in 2011, but he hasn't even won a slam since last year's Aussie. Murray is peaking. Federer is still 95 percent Federer. Four different men have won the last four slams, and while Murray has a chance to (perhaps briefly) seize control of the men's game with a win over Djokovic in the finals, what we are seeing is randomness as much as anything. Get these guys to the semis or finals, then roll the dice and see what happens. If Nadal can return to full strength following the knee injury that cost him the last few months of 2012, well, things get even better, don't they?
And for the second straight year, the Australian Open has brought out the best in the men's game. Murray and Djokovic are poised to replicate last year's absurdly great semifinal between the two (Djokovic won, 7-5 in the fifth, before beating Nadal, 7-5 in the fifth). Federer looked great but was still forced to play back-to-back five-setters for the first time and withered however slightly. Djokovic barely even survived Stanislas Wawrinka in the fourth round. It has been a hell of a fortnight in Melbourne, and now we get to see the finale the tournament deserves. Don't ask me who will win. Just watch.

1OAK was founded in 2009 by a team of former investment bankers and hedge fund managers. 1OAK manages three public funds for Institutional and High Net worth Investors. Our focus is on liquidity, transparency and safety. We ensure this via maintaining all our funds on daily liquid managed accounts with international investment banks.
1OAK Capital is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority in the UK (FCA Ref: 501453)
We trade our strategies through Deutsche Bank Select Managed Account investing only in liquid securities. As a consequence we can provide daily liquidity, an important advantage when compared with the majority of our peer group.
We provide daily transparency to our investors should they require it. A simple log-in or daily automated email report from the Deutsche Bank to our investors contains all pertinent details of their investments. In addition one of our team will be available to discuss any particular questions. Monthly tear-sheets are published on all our strategies giving both a commentary, performance and detailed investment ratios.
Managed accounts mean we do not have ownership over investors' assets, these remain at all times the legal property of the investors. We also insist our managed account provider place a continuous stop-loss on all our portfolios, this ensures our investors are largely immunised from the unwanted effects of extreme market dislocations.
We currently manage publicly three distinct strategies on the Deutsche Bank Select Managed Account Platform investing only in liquid securities.
Multi-Manager & Tailored Investment Strategies
We provide daily transparency to our investors should they require it. A simple log-in or daily automated email report from the Deutsche Bank to our investors contains all pertinent details of their investments. In addition one of our team will be available to discuss any particular questions. Monthly tear-sheets are published on all our strategies giving both a commentary, performance and detailed investment ratios.
A distinct advantage in being on the Deutsche Bank Select Managed Account Platform is that we can use Deutsche Bank's balance sheet and product structuring ability to design more tailored products for our investor base. These could be on our own funds or an index of funds designed by us to meet a particular investment objective. These structures could range from a simple warrant on one of our strategies to a more complex capital guaranteed note with an embedded managed C.P.P.I. option on a multi-manager underlying Index.
1. Single Manager Funds
We currently manage 3 public funds on the Deutsche Bank Select Managed Account Platform:
The 1 OAK ACORN Strategy is a systematic, market-neutral commodity strategy unique in the commodity investment sector. ACORN employs trading strategies that exploit mismatches in inter- and intra-commodity relationships that persistently arise and may be profited from in a systematic manner. ACORN is a blend of multiple persistent and uncorrelated alpha. Risk and positions are continuously monitored in real-time, in particular to target zero beta and to target specified medium-term volatilities (currently set at 6-8%).
The 1OAK LAB (Liquid Alternative Beta) Strategy aims to replicate the returns of HFRX's Global hedge fund index in a systematic manner whilst targeting correlation of greater than 80%. Liquid risk factors are identified, analysed and combined so that an optimised portfolio is created which closely mirrors the returns of the whole hedge fund industry (alternative beta). Unlike the HFRX Index, the 1OAK LAB Strategy also targets a volatility range of 6% - 8% which during historical simulations has resulted in higher returns during periods of hedge fund underperformance.
We use a proprietary combination of replication methodology, regression analysis and noise filtering to enhance replication sustainability while employing sophisticated execution techniques to minimise slippage. We believe we compare extremely favourably with other benchmark providers in the market. 1OAK LAB allows investors to access hedge fund industry absolute returns in an efficient way removing the manager selection problem and single manager idiosyncratic risk.
1OAK GI MACRO Strategy is cross-asset and multi-sector. It trades across various time frames ranging from intra-day to several weeks. Strategies employed include momentum, carry, sentiment, curve trades, pattern recognition, reversion, demand and supply and volatility arbitrage. GI MACRO differs from typical CTA funds in this approach and will add alpha when added to a blend of them. The 1OAK GI MACRO portfolio construction team builds and combines models using scientific analysis and sound economic reasoning and thus derive alpha from a great number of uncorrelated sources. This gives GI MACRO a more robust and diverse source of returns and a low correlation to the general CTA sector.
Since inception in February 2012, the strategy blend has outperformed the general CTA sector whilst showing very low correlation. The strategy blend originally had a target volatility of 6% - 8% but as confidence in the mix has grown, GI MACRO now targets 8% - 10% volatility.
2. Multi-Manager Products
We provide multi-manager products based on our quantitative expertise combined with our in-depth knowledge of other managers and the alternative investment industry. In addition, we have the ability to work with Investment Banks to create bespoke investments, both in terms of payoff, exposure and legal structure.
1OAK BENEFITS VS ETFs & LONG ONLY ASSET MANAGERS
— Uncorrelated daily liquid returns to traditional ETFs / Mutual long only funds
— Daily absolute returns and not total returns
— Superior risk-adjust returns compared to traditional ETFs / Mutual long only funds (higher returns for same amount of risk)
— Constant risk and volatility control. 1OAK liquid strategies are not exposed to volatility market cyclicality (constant volatility)

If Mars Blackmon had been at Saturday's Danville Vikings softball doubleheader against Decatur Eisenhower, he might have been in Tera Baxter's ear the entire morning yelling, "It's gotta be the shoes!"
Not the shoes she wore during the Vikings' sweep (26-4, 16-0) of the Panthers, but the ones promised to her by her dad if she had a good day.
The extra incentive just might have worked as Baxter broke out of a slump both at the plate and in the pitching circle to help lead her team to consecutive wins for only the second time this season.
"I've been wanting new cleats, and he didn't think I deserved them yet because I hadn't been doing very well," Baxter said. "But, I stepped up today."
Baxter hit her first home run of the season in the opener, and followed it with her second in the finale. She finished the day with three hits and drove in six runs, but perhaps equally as impressive was her performance in the circle.
Baxter (1-2) had not won a game yet this season, but threw the final inning of the opener and all five in the second game without allowing a hit.
"Tera had a great day," Danville coach Brittni Moorehead said. "She got a couple home runs there, and I think that got her confidence back with the bat. Then, we put her out as pitcher today in our second game, and I think she pitched incredibly well for us.
"We were really happy with that, and we were really happy to have the opportunity to put her back out there as a pitcher, and that she was able to get some of her confidence back in that area."
As a team, the Vikings (5-9 overall, 1-2 in the Big 12 Conference) might have been just as happy to get back in the win column after losing their last four games. Four losses and three rainouts place the last win for the Vikings on April 9 in a 14-0 victory over the Oakwood Comets.
Danville followed it with an 11-8 loss to Westville, and since then has failed to score.
The Vikings went 19 consecutive innings without crossing the plate until Lindsey Loewenstein's flyout in the first inning of Saturday's opener scored Jordan Ogle. They went on to score another run in the inning, and sent a total of 36 batters to the plate in the final three frames of the game. All nine batters in the lineup crossed the plate in the fourth when Danville plated 12 runs.
"We've been rained out a lot this week," said Moorehead. "We only got one game in, but we worked a lot on our hitting when we were stuck in the field house and inside on those rainy days. I think that really helped us turn around our bats today and get some hits and some runs. We came back with a lot of confidence today."
The Vikings tallied a total of 31 hits and 42 runs in the two games after managing only 24 runs in the last seven.
Jeannette Cullum played only in the opener but had three hits and drove in five runs while Loewenstein had three hits and four RBI. Katy Aguirre had six hits and drove in four, and Chloe Davis had four hits in the opener including two doubles and drove in three runs. She also recorded her third pitching win of the season in the same game.
"It felt really good because we finally came together as a team and decided to bring everything together," said Baxter. "We really weren't sure if we were going to do as good this year as we did last year switching coaches and trying to get into the flow of everything, but I think we're doing pretty good."
For Moorehead, Saturday's success came down to bringing a different perspective to the field. The Vikings have now outscored their opponents 75-11 in their five wins, and four of their losses have come by four runs or less.
Seeing the outpouring of offense, along with the pitching and defense to back it up, was a blessed assurance for the Vikings who are trying to rebound from their most recent slide.
"This is huge for us," said Moorehead. "We've been talking a lot about focusing and bringing a positive attitude to all of our games. We turned that around today, and I think that will help us in our games to come and boost our confidence level so we can keep this win streak going. I think that our focus and our attitude really helped us out today."
The Vikings will take their new winning streak on the road Monday to Charleston in a make-up game from March 26 before going to Champaign on Tuesday to take on the Central Maroons. Danville 's next home game is scheduled for April 30 against Urbana .

Oakwood Elementary could become assisted living
A Knoxville development firm is looking at a redevelopment project for the old Oakwood Elementary School.
Family Pride Corporation, working with Knoxville-based InSite Development Corporation, submitted the only proposal in the county's recent RFP process, and the two firms are proposing to convert the former school into an assisted living facility.
Family Pride has experience with similar projects -- the company converted the former Lenoir City High School building, which dates to 1908, into a 71-unit senior housing facility. It has also converted two hospitals into similar projects.
As for Oakwood, Family Pride general manager Rick Dover said the school "lays out nicely for assisted living. And I think it's something that, if it were done right, the whole neighborhood could be proud of and could support. Obviously there's a base of seniors and their family members that have traditionally been in the Oakwood and Lincoln Park...Old North section."
Hugh Holt, the county's purchasing director, said Tuesday that the evaluation committee looking at the proposal should be finished this week.

"Brooklyn Boys" Spoofs "Brooklyn Girls"
By Brian McManus
The word epic comes up often when discussing Oakland metalheads High on Fire, referencing both the guitar riffs pounding you into submission andlike their foremost influence, Celtic Frostan esoteric literary influence that avoids venturing into Mastodon territory. And though, by the time you've plowed through enough of Death Is This Communion to reach singer-guitarist Matt Pike's mantle-shifting solo on "Waste of Tiamat," you probably won't be considering the finer points of Sumerian mythology, it's worth noting that the trio's novelistic qualities stretch beyond lyrical considerations. One listen to DITC's melancholic majesty will compel you to both exalt in Pike's guitar-playing and read Robert E. Howard while smoking weed.
Only men with a certain brand of tenacity can mix brawn and brain like this without sounding derivative or cheesy; what's more, High on Fire have gotten progressively better with each release no easy feat, considering they could've stagnated, content merely to ape Pike's old band, the sludge-metal titans Sleep, sped up to 45. But progress aside, DITC will still melt your speakers. Jack Endino's clean yet full-tilt production fills out the sound, but it's drummer Des Kensel's ability to push forward and hold backnot simply pound monochromatically from start to finishthat truly creates the thriving, volatile atmosphere here: a black, acrid environment wherein Pike's guitar creeps out from Frazetta swamp logs, climbs dead trees, and summons lightning bolts from black thunderclouds, beneath which sordid rituals of Lovecraftian proportions take shape.
But that, too, avoids outright cliché: While there are indeed "beings that come from darkness" lurking within the seven-minute "Ethereal," Pike has never been one to overplay the Satan card, instead evoking kingdoms in the clutches of despotic rulers, alien Annunaki serpents guarding sunken Atlantean keys, and other images providing ample weight for the wrecking ball. Let's face it: Pure fucking evil can be just as boring as any stodgy moralist preaching the "good of mankind," but while High on Fire deploy strategic nuance, there's not too much. If you play this record backwards, you'll still hear voices telling you to break shit, get arrested, and drink Jägermeister. They just might suggest you read a history book, too.

Offseason Prediction
The Chargers are in for a tough offseason if they cannot fix their woeful corners because of salary-cap issues. The draft can help, but this team was hoping to compete now. Drafting secondary help can take some time to develop.

* Based on reported results. Wrestlers must have a .500 record and at least 11 bouts.
Fridays match between the Schalick and Gloucester high school wrestling teams took on a little more meaning for those in attendance at Pittsgrove.
The Cougars fell, 45-30, to the Lions, but the two teams raised more than $500 to donate toward cancer research through the sale of special pink T-shirts and other donations. It was the second annual Taking Down Cancer event for Schalick.
Head coach Mike Cullen started the fundraiser last year. This year, the shirts, which sold for $10, were donated, along with a large banner commemorating the event by Barbara Madosky of Brava Promotions.
It just seemed like the right thing to do, to try to do something to try to raise some money, Cullen said. We have the stage to reach the community, so why not take advantage of it?
Originally, the event was scheduled for Jan. 29, but snow forced a postponement. The new date coincided with a basketball game, which hurt the turnout, but the amount of money raised was still close to last year.
We did it last year, it was a great success, Cullen said. I think from here on out were going to try to improve on it every year, see how big we can get and how much money we can raise.
And while generating funds to help cancer research is reason enough to hold the event, Cullen said its also good to teach the young student-athletes how to be charitable and support a good cause.
I think this sport is second to none as far as developing discipline and building character, Cullen said. That can lead right into helping charities out.
The cause hit home for Cullen, who lost a cousin to cancer and has other family members fighting it. But it also was a special day for junior 145-pounder Zack Zulker, whose mother, Page, has been battling cancer herself.
It was really motivating, Zulker said. It was on my mind all day.
Zulker said it was nice to see both teams come together to help the fight against something thats been so personal to him.
It just made me feel good, Zulker said. Shes my motivation when I wrestle.
Still standing
Locally, just four wrestlers remain undefeated. Delseas Bryan Dobzanski, Millvilles Ed Shockley, St. Augustines Jack Clark and Vinelands Steven Bergamo all boast unblemished records.
Dobzanski (25-0) and Shockley (27-0), however, are the only two who have wrestled a full season. Bergamo (13-0) missed the first couple weeks of the season for discipline issues and Clark (11-0) wasnt eligible to wrestle until late January due to NJSIAA transfer rules.
Clark and Dobzanski are considered favorites to win state titles while Bergamo and Shockley are both defending district champions, so all four could keep the zeros in the loss column for a while.
Who's in, who's out
Millville will host a playoff match for the first time in school history. The Thunderbolts were the No. 3 seed in Group IV South, but moved to fourth by virtue of a head-to-head loss to the original fourth seed, Cherry Hill West.
Millville will host Shawnee, which has had an up-and-down year, narrowly defeating Cherry Hill West and Hammonton, but dropping matches to Cherokee and, most recently, Camden Catholic.
Millville also has never won a playoff match. If they top the Renegades on Monday, the Thunderbolts will travel to Manahawkin to face top-seeded Southern.
Buena snagged the fourth seed and a home match in Group I South and the Chiefs will host Penns Grove. The winner of that match will have a road trip to top-seeded Paulsboro.
St. Augustine and Delsea both have first-round byes and No. 1 seeds. The Hermits easily paced the Non-Public A South field and await the winner of Red Bank Catholic at Paul VI. The Crusaders will face the winner of Clayton and Woodstown in the Group II South semifinals on Wednesday.
What are you listening to?
Delseas Dom DeMarco bucks the trend of rap, popular rock and dance music that dominates so many wrestlers iPods these days.
For DeMarco, his playlist is a little old school.
Its Beastie Boys and late 80s rock, DeMarco said. Nirvana, AC/DC.
So why does the sophomore 145-pounder listen to a lot of stuff that was recorded before he was born?
I love hearing the drums, DeMarco said.
His go-to song? For Whom the Bell Tolls by Metallica.
