'Chef' Review: Jon Favreau Cooks Up Something Sweet With a Curious Side of Bitter
Movie Reviews By Neil Miller on May 9, 2014 | Be the First To CommentEditor's note: Our review of Chef originally ran during this year's SXSW film festival, but we're re-running it now as the film opens in theaters. During his introduction of his new movie Chef on opening night of the SXSW Film Festival, Jon Favreau talked at length about how nice it was to be able to make a movie that is personal, to be inspired to make something that didn't have to appeal to every demographic, as is the requirement placed upon so many blockbusters. He talked about being so inspired in a way that he hadn't seen since Swingers. This got some applause, for sure, from an audience anxious to see him bring that kind of film. Because when he said that it was nice to make a movie that would appeal to a smaller, more passionate audience, it was almost as if he had made it for that particular audience. It is a movie about good food and music with a cameo from Austin's favorite city (Austin), after all. The only problem is that with the sweetness with which Favreau has imbued his latest movie comes a bit of bitterness toward online critics, an aged view of social media and the Internet and a movie that comes away from the wreck of its conflict too clean for its own good. All things that, if they weren't so drunk on BBQ, wouldn't get by such an audience.
'Neighbors' Review: Is This the Big Studio Comedy to Beat in 2014?
Movie Reviews By Eric D. Snider on May 8, 2014 | Be the First To CommentEditor's note: Our review of Neighbors originally ran during this year's SXSW film festival, but we're re-running it now as the film opens in theaters. You might expect an R-rated comedy starring Seth Rogen and Zac Efron, directed by the guy who made Forgetting Sarah Marshall and The Five-Year Engagement, to be loose and sloppy, like Rogen's torso. But Neighbors turns out to be tight and lean and eminently watchable, like Efron's torso. It's boisterously funny, yet also focused and perceptive. Who knew a Rogen movie could be all of those things at once? Rogen and the suddenly indispensable Rose Byrne play Mac and Kelly, new parents working through the mixed emotions of loving their adorable baby girl while missing their old, fun lives. After a few lukewarm gags along the usual lines (they want to go to a late-night party but fall asleep instead!), we get to the crux of the matter as a fraternity moves in to the house next door. Under the guidance of dude-bros Teddy (Efron) and Pete (Dave Franco), the frat behaves exactly the way Mac and Kelly were afraid they would, with raucous nightly parties. (For some reason they're the only neighbors bothered by the noise.) The new situation intensifies Mac and Kelly's insecurity about becoming grown-ups. They want to be cool, and even more than that, they want to be cool in the eyes of hot college kids (Mac unhesitatingly calls Teddy "the sexiest man I've ever seen"). With a joint as a peace […]
'Joe' Review: David Gordon Green and Nicolas Cage Return to Form
Movie Reviews By Kate Erbland on April 10, 2014 | Comments (2)Editor's note: Our review of Joe originally ran during last year's TIFF, but we're re-posting it now as the film opens theatrically. Our long national nightmare is finally over – director David Gordon Green has returned to making the types of films that put the indie filmmaker on the map in the early aughts with his Joe. Combined with this year's earlier effort, the drily amusing Prince Avalanche, Green has successfully managed to put the memory of his broad comedy busts like The Sitter and Your Highness behind him, and fans of vintage Green should be quite satisfied with his latest Southern gothic. Starring Nicolas Cage as the eponymous Joe, an ex-con who makes his living by poisoning whole forests so that they can be deemed sick and subsequently be cleared for the replanting of heartier, more sellable trees. Joe employs a large crew of locals, all of whom seem to like him very much, and he's a fair, reasonable boss. Off the clock, however, Joe struggles with restraining a powerful, almost insatiable anger, and he tries to keep it at bay through alcohol and simply staying home. The arrival of a young drifter who comes begging for a job up-ends Joe's tenuous personal peace, and their sweetly parental relationship threatens to change things for both of them. Sounds sentimental? It's not. Not even a little bit.
'The Raid 2′ Review: Over Two Hours of Bloody, Bloody Bliss
Movie Reviews By Rob Hunter on March 28, 2014 | Comments (3)Editor's note: Our review of The Raid 2 originally ran during this year's Sundance film festival, but we're re-posting it now as the film opens in limited theatrical release. Let's just dispense with the hyperbole right now. Yes, The Raid 2 will in fact cure any and all ailments, make you irresistible to the opposite sex, give you the winning lottery numbers, do your math homework for you, wash the dishes, and happily go down on you without expecting the same in return. Or not. But even without all of that it should be more than enough that Gareth Evans' follow up to his 2011 action hit is without a doubt one of the most brilliantly executed, excitingly choreographed, bone-crunchingly fantastic action films your eyes have ever had the distinct pleasure of seeing and hearing.
5 SXSW Documentaries You Should Keep On Your Radar
Features By Nonfics on March 22, 2014 | Be the First To CommentThe best film I saw this year at SXSW was not a documentary, but it was made in the style of one. Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi's What We Do in the Shadows is a hilarious mockumentary about a foursome of vampires living together as flatmates in Wellington, New Zealand. I mention it not only because I think most doc fans appreciate a good mockumentary but to note the irony since the best documentary I saw this year at SXSW was made in the style of a narrative. Actually, I'm trying to not make that claim these days. I should instead say that it was not made in the conventional documentary style. In general it felt like a weak year for the doc program. I didn't love any of the jury award winners (some at least make my honorable mentions spotlight below), was disappointed in not only the quality of many premieres (especially the absolutely worthless Wicker Kittens) but also the lack of many bigger buzz titles from Sundance in the festival favorites section (it baffles me that Simon Chinn was in town but without The Green Prince). I didn't hear a lot of talk of docs I missed, though I left still curious about Yakona, The Immortalists, Print the Legend and definitely PULP, which is pretty much the only music doc I heard any positive chatter for. Due to a few reasons, including the fact that I was covering other stuff for Film School Rejects and because there wasn't a good vibe anyway, I didn't see a whole ton of […]
SXSW 2014 Review: 'A Wolf at the Door' Brings Together Hell, Fury, and a Scorned Woman
Movie Reviews By Rob Hunter on March 17, 2014 | Be the First To CommentSylvia (Fabiula Nascimento) arrives at school to pick up her daughter but it is told by the teacher that not only has the girl already been taken by their neighbor Sheila, but that Sylvia herself called earlier granting permission. This leaves Sylvia a bit perplexed and panicked as not only did she not call the school, but she also has no neighbor named Sheila. The police arrive, and with a missing child at risk they immediately begin a hard press on everyone involved. The detective grills the teacher, Sylvia, her husband Bernardo (Milhem Cortaz), and others, and it's Bernardo who puts forth a name as a possible suspect. Rosa (Leandra Leal) is a young woman he's been having an affair with, and he has reason to believe she may be involved. A Wolf at the Door is a harrowing slow-burn of a thriller that tackles the dramatic suspense in an unconventional way. Instead of proceeding like a traditional procedural, the film quickly settles on one witness and lets the story unfold through her recounting of events. It becomes less a story of what happened to the little girl and more a tale of why it had to happen at all.
SXSW 2014: 'Faults' Is Frustrating But Shows Promise For Director Riley Stearns
Movie Reviews By Jack Giroux on March 16, 2014 | Be the First To CommentFaults is one of the more frustrating experiences of SXSW. It's by no means a bad film or even a mediocre one. Writer-director Riley Stearns shows promise, but his feature debut never comes together the way it should. The worst that can be said for Faults is that it's hard not to feel indifferent towards it, despite having two fine lead performances. One being Leland Orser as Ansel Roth, a washed up expert on mind control. He used to have a television show, a wife and a hit book. Now he goes around promoting his disastrous self-published follow-up novel and tries to con restaurants into giving him free meals. Ansel has hit his lowest, but he's offered a chance of redemption that he only sees money signs on. A couple (Chris Ellis and Beth Grant) pleads with Roth to "deprogram" their daughter, Claire (Mary Elizabeth Winstead), who hasn't been herself since joining a cult. She claims she's never been happier, but her parents want the old her back.
SXSW 2014 Review: 'Song from the Forest' Is a Beautiful Portrait of an American Living in the African Rain Forest
Movie Reviews By Nonfics on March 16, 2014 | Be the First To CommentLouis Sarno went to Africa in pursuit of his dream. 25 years ago, he followed a musical tradition into the jungles of the Central African Republic, where he found the Bayaka people. He never left. Accepted into this isolated society, he discovered a new community and a sense of peace. Or, at least, that was his dream. In hindsight, it can also seem a bit like mythology. The tension between Sarno's mission and his reality is the crux of Song from the Forest. German filmmaker Michael Obert traveled to the CAR to capture the hybrid lifestyle of this errant Westerner and the family he has made for himself. Sarno has a Bayaka wife and son. When he decides to take 13-year-old Samedi on a trip to America, to meet his uncles and grandparents, Obert follows. The film is a blend of these two locales, a loosely assembled patchwork of insightful moments on two distant continents. READ MORE AT NONFICS
SXSW 2014: 'Starry Eyes' Is An Entertaining Hollywood Nightmare
Movie Reviews By Jack Giroux on March 16, 2014 | Be the First To CommentThe Hollywood Nightmare is an idea we often see in films for a reason. Los Angeles is a city where broken dreams of stardom can be found on almost every street corner. One of the downsides for those people that crave financial success in Hollywood is they're almost always surrounded by it. Beverly Hills is both their dream and their nightmare. Starry Eyes shows one actress that will go as far as she has to one day have that mansion in the Hills. Sarah (Alex Essoe) is that actress. At the start of the film she works as a "Taters Girl" in a cheesy restaurant that's basically an even worse version of Hooters. Being a Taters Girl isn't her endgame, though. She daydreams of stardom. After an embarrassing audition, Astraeus Pictures sees something in her. The off-the-wall casting agents call her back to see more of her dark side, which she may or may not know exists.
SXSW 2014 Review: 'Born to Fly' Is a Solid Profile of Choreographer Elizabeth Streb
Movie Reviews By Nonfics on March 15, 2014 | Be the First To CommentHuman beings cannot fly. This is, relatively speaking, a commonly held truth. Yet Brooklyn-based choreographer Elizabeth Streb is not so sure. Her whole career can be seen as a pursuit of flight, though not in the way birds do it. Her work, first as a dancer and now as the head of her own dance company, is all about finding new forms of movement. She goes so far as to call it "action" much more frequently than "dance." Her performers fling themselves about the stage, dodging I-beams and jumping from enormous wheels. It's quite the sight. Presumably the sheer visual triumph of these performances was at least a major part of what inspired Catherine Gund to make Born to Fly. The film is pretty straightforward, following the mold set by many an artistic profile in recent years. Attention is divided between Streb's biography and her current work in an effort to build as full a portrait as possible. The choreographer is very open about her early days as an aspiring artist, traveling cross-country to take classes and find herself. She began with wide open ambition and voluminous, lengthy hair. Now she has narrowed her focus and become much more interested in blunt physicality. Her style has followed suit, now characterized by black clothes and a short, erect punk haircut.

SXSW 2014: 'We'll Never Have Paris' Star Melanie Lynskey Doesn't Want Your Filthy Money
Features By Jack Giroux on March 15, 2014 | Be the First To CommentThis summer marks a very special anniversary. It's fair to say we all remembered what took place on August 4, 2000. On that most likely quiet and peaceful summer day, one film dominated the cultural conversation, a true game changer unlike any other film of its kind. For years people had been asking, "What is this Coyote Ugly? Is it more than just some bar at the New York, New York hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada?" Kangaroo Jack director David McNally finally answered that question with his unconventional story of a small town girl trying to make it in the big city with Coyote Ugly. That picture co-starred Melanie Lynskey as Gloria, the young girl's best friend. Needless to say, it's not Lynskey's best film — that honor goes to The Informant, which is her personal favorite as well — but it was the last film I watched of Lynskey's before speaking with her at SXSW, so why not discuss it? Lynskey wasn't at the festival to promote the upcoming 14th anniversary of Coyote Ugly, though. Instead she was down for We'll Never Have Paris, Simon Helberg and Jocelyn Towne's romantic comedy starring Lynskey as a woman whose relationship is thrown off track by her boyfriend's selfish neurosis. Since I hadn't seen the film when I spoke with Lynskey, we mostly discussed other topics, including Coyote Ugly and never wanting to take a paycheck for something she doesn't believe in. Check out our conversation below.
SXSW 2014 Review: 'Que Caramba es la Vida' Is a Clarion Portrait of Women Mariachi Musicians
Movie Reviews By Nonfics on March 15, 2014 | Be the First To CommentMexico City's Plaza Garibaldi is the epicenter of mariachi music. Bands flock to the historic square, especially on weekends, to sell their songs. It's been this way for a century, though its heyday has passed. The golden age of mariachi was actually intimately connected to the golden age of Mexican cinema, and the popularity of the "charro" genre in the 1940s and 1950s. Given that this particular style of music has always been related to the cinema, it's perhaps an especially suitable documentary subject. German filmmaker Doris Dorrie went to Plaza Garibaldi to make Que Caramba es la Vida, which makes its world premiere at SXSW this week. Yet Dorrie did not make a broad portrait of music in Mexico City. This is a film about the women of mariachi, an underrepresented but bold presence on the Plaza Garibaldi. Que Caramba es la Vida begins as a profile of María del Carmen, a ranchera singer who is not the least bit shy in her claim to be the best voice on the square. She lives with her mother and daughter but spends a great deal of time away at gigs. Dorrie is interested in this tension, the fact that most female mariachis lead two lives. Unlike the men, who labor exclusively as musicians, the women are expected to come home and fulfill the obligations of the wife and mother. READ MORE AT NONFICS
SXSW 2014 Review: 'The Heart Machine' is the Love Child of Michelangelo Antonioni and Nora Ephron
Movie Reviews By Christopher Campbell on March 14, 2014 | Be the First To CommentMore than 15 years have passed since You've Got Mail, and online dating in the movies can still seem a little weird. Thanks to video chat programs like Skype, they've at least become more visual, but there's still the issue of disconnect between characters that is obviously realistic but also heightened by the extra screen of the movie frame. When we see a couple talking through their computers, one of them is always going to seem extremely distant and also extremely confined by that computer window. It's hard to feel something between two people in love through that barrier, even if we know what the experience is like, how that feeling can exist. It's one of the very few things holding down The Heart Machine, an otherwise superb romantic drama that does seem conscious of having to grapple with such an obstacle. But the film's pair, Cody and Virginia (John Gallagher Jr. and Kate Lyn Sheil), aren't given a lot of comfort time to show us any true feelings. In the opening scene they're Skyping, well into a relationship it seems, and on her end is the sound of a lot of emergency vehicle sirens. After they hang up, Cody goes to a sound effects website to remind himself of what a German ambulance actually sounds like, because as it turns out Virginia has led him to believe she's in Berlin for six months. And that German ambulance clip is not what he heard on the call earlier. Suddenly he's […]
SXSW 2014: Imogen Poots Plays It Cool In 'Jimi: All Is by My Side'
Features By Jack Giroux on March 14, 2014 | Be the First To CommentImogen Poots's face is everywhere this year. She was recently seen in That Awkward Moment, has Need for Speed opening this weekend, Filth hits the states this summer, and maybe we'll be lucky enough to see her in Terrence Malick's Knight of Cups before 2015. Another movie Poots co-stars in this year is writer-director John Ridley's Jimi: All Is by My Side. She plays the incredibly suave Linda Keith, a supporter and close friend of Jimi Hendrix (André Benjamin) in the film. Speaking with Poots at SXSW this week, I learned she clearly admires Ridley's strict focus on their relationship as well. She spoke fondly of Jimi: All Is by My Side and, of course, a terrific French bakery in Los Angeles. Our conversation touched on plenty of other relevant subjects, too. If you're curious about how beautiful Charlestown, West Virginia, really is, for example, read what she has to say about it below.
SXSW 2014 Review: 'Home' Is Not Even Worth Seeing In the Comfort Of Your Own
Movie Reviews By Christopher Campbell on March 13, 2014 | Be the First To CommentHome, where all thought's escaping. Home, where unexplained scenes are playing. Home, where all I love about movies lies waiting silently for me outside the theater. Taking the phrase "all style, no substance" to the extreme, Nicholas McCarthy's new horror feature, Home, is almost not even categorically a movie. It's a lot of shots without direction and a plot without a story. Yet it's hardly a work of experimental film. There's nothing at all interesting in the visuals we are given to look at — too many inserts of extreme close-ups on people's faces, mostly nostrils, and the usual mirror-based jump scares. Its worst offense is probably casting Oscar-nominated actress Catalina Sandino Moreno in what seems to be a lead role and then giving her very little to do, but its crimes are aplenty. If I wanted to nitpick, I'm guessing I had at least one issue a minute with it.
SXSW 2014: Jason Bateman Makes Spelling Bees Tolerable For 'Bad Words'
Features By Jack Giroux on March 13, 2014 | Be the First To CommentBad Words is a really dark comedy. Its lead, Guy (Jason Bateman), is crude and selfish, and he won't stop until he proves his point. Sometimes he goes about his plan in mean-spirited ways, but for Bateman it's pivotal that an audience embraces the character. That's not as difficult as it sounds. He makes the National Spelling Bee contest actual fun, so you're already on his side from the start. Not only is Guy likable despite his edges, but he's also empathetic. Andrew Dodge's script gives him the right kind of motive that never interrupts the film's initial comedic tone. There's just enough of Guy's past and his twisted and sweet friendship with a kid, never too much of it to make him an unbelievable softie. There's plenty of tonal tightropes in this movie, but Bateman, who was also in the director's seat for the movie, was well-aware of them from the start. I spoke to Bateman at SXSW this week, and this is what he had to say about his anti-hero character, directing for the first time and more:
SXSW 2014 Review: 'What We Do In the Shadows' Is Also a New Vampire Classic
Movie Reviews By Christopher Campbell on March 13, 2014 | Be the First To CommentIt's remarkable that vampire mythology can still be mined for great comedy. Just when you think the Seltzer and Friedberg team closed the book on lampooning the creatures of the night and the overabundant amount of movies about them (with a terrible chapter), another duo prove there's still actually hilarious potential in this subgenre. Jemaine Clement makes his directorial debut alongside occasional collaborator Taiki Waititi (Eagle vs. Shark; Flight of the Conchords) with the mockumentary What We Do In the Shadows, in which they didn't necessarily find a ton of fresh jokes and gags in the material but still managed to execute each bit to perfection. Even Twilight provides fodder for new laughs here, not so much as parody of the franchise but of an amusing idea around it. The humor there stems from something bigger than vampires to make fun of general trendiness, treating the Edward Cullen character as a kind of hipster asshole in the context of the history of iconic vampires. He's represented by a newly turned bigmouth (Cori Gonzalez-Macuer) who obnoxiously clings to a foursome of flat mates, one of whom resembles Nosferatu (Ben Fransham), another with a Coppola-style Dracula/Vlad the Impaler thing going on (Clement), a dandyish Anne Rice type (Waititi) and, rounding out the group, a less definable vampire (Jonathan Brugh) who used to be the "young blood" of the group. He has history as an undead Nazi and now takes pleasure in ordering around his human servant (Jackie van Beek) and pranking people with […]
SXSW 2014 Review: 'The Special Need' is a Sweet and Beautiful Portrait of a 29-Year-Old Virgin
Movie Reviews By Nonfics on March 11, 2014 | Be the First To CommentIf only we had doc options for all the common Hollywood comedy situations. The Special Need fills this hole for the virginity-loss premise, which has been tackled by teen movies for decades and, taking it to the extreme, with sexless 40-year-olds, as well. Here we meet a 29-year-old virgin named Enea and follow him on an intercontinental mission to have him deflowered. His reason for being a late bloomer stems from his autism and, as we see when he's hitting on women in the street, his overcompensating courage matched with underwhelming game. He also doesn't have a sense of what league he's in, nor does he have a basis for what to look for other than fashion magazine-quality beauties. Fortunately, Enea has a friend in filmmaker Carlo Zoratti, who decided to document the adventure of the disabled man's quest for sex. Starting out in Italy, where they can't find a prostitute willing, let alone a prospective partner who doesn't charge for it, Carlo, Enea and their other friend, Alex, drive north through Europe in the attempt to find a way to get the job done legally, safely and respectfully. Zoratti doesn't film the plan and journey in the way you'd expect. There's no introductory narration telling us of the objective, no breaking of the fourth wall to acknowledge that a film is even being made. Instead he let's the story unfold seemingly naturally, albeit with clear indication that this is more docudrama than documentary, and scenes, if not the entire picture, are for […]
SXSW 2014: Karen Gillan is the Girl Who Didn't Wait Long For Hollywood To Call
Features By Christopher Campbell on March 10, 2014 | Be the First To CommentOn Doctor Who, Karen Gillan played Amy Pond, known as "the girl who waited." That label stemmed from her first episode of the British sci-fi series, in which the title character showed up in her backyard with his TARDIS — a time machine in the form of an old, blue British police box — and invited a 7-year-old Pond to be his traveling companion. But then he didn't return to pick her up for over a decade. The actress has had better luck with her own promise of travel and adventure, starting out as a model before landing roles on UK television straight out of drama school, including that prime gig on the internationally popular Doctor Who program. From there, she didn't have long to wait before a movie career whisked her away to Hollywood. And as it turns out, her initial means of coming to America also involved a man with something resembling an old, blue British police box. "I was in my childhood bedroom in Scotland," she explains about her first Skype meeting with Mike Flanagan, who directed her in her first gig in the U.S., the creepy, cleverly edited new horror movie Oculus. "And he took a swig of coffee out of a TARDIS mug, which made me realize I had a good chance of getting it."
SXSW 2014 Review: 'That Guy Dick Miller' is an Affectionate Appreciation in Need of More Dick
Movie Reviews By Rob Hunter on March 8, 2014 | Be the First To CommentThe movies are filled with familiar faces with seemingly forgettable names. They'll never see themselves on a marquee or win an Oscar, but people like Bob Gunton, Paul Gleason, and Brion James always make their brief moments onscreen count. Their presence often raises the level of a film, if even for a few minutes, but while most viewers would agree with the sentiment the actors go unsung in the general consciousness. Dick Miller is another one of those guys. He's been in over 200 films, and while a couple of them saw him in a major or even leading role the vast majority found him simply as the clerk, the man behind the counter, the cop, the [insert generic occupation here] guy. If you've seen a Joe Dante movie then you've seen Miller in action, and the odds are almost as good if you've ever seen a Roger Corman film. Miller is pictured in Webster's dictionary beside the word "ubiquitous." That last one's not actually true, but the guy gets around. That Guy Dick Miller is a new doc that shines a light directly on Miller and his career, and it offers an affectionate and loving look at the man through his own words as well as those of the people who love him. His wife, brothers, and numerous actors and filmmakers share thoughts on what makes him stand apart even in the tiniest of roles.

(Updates with analyst's comment in fourth paragraph.)
Oct. 31 (Bloomberg) -- Moody's Investors Service cut its ratings on Argentine oil and gas companies and placed them on review, citing a government decree requiring firms to repatriate all of their export proceeds and convert them to pesos.
The foreign currency rating of Pan American Energy LLC's Argentine unit was reduced one step to Ba3, three levels below investment grade, according to a statement. Moody's also cut Petrobras Argentina SA, a unit of Brazil's state-controlled oil company, to Ba3 and lowered the global local currency rating of YPF SA, Argentina's largest energy company, to Ba2, according to the statement. All ratings are on review for downgrade, Moody's said.
Last week, President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner ordered gas, oil and mining companies to repatriate all future export revenue, told insurance companies to bring investments back into the country and sent tax agency inspectors into exchange houses as part of an effort to strengthen central bank controls on dollar purchases.
"The decree highlights the high level of unpredictability of the Argentine government and heightened risk of increased capital controls and regulatory changes in the country," Moody's said in the statement. "While Moody's believes this change has not impacted the day-to-day operations, debt service payments and dividend flows from these companies, their overall transfer and convertibility risk profiles have increased."

Three areas to watch as No. 3 Ole Miss faces Tennessee for Homecoming on Saturday.
'Third Down for What'
Tennessee is very dangerous, Ole Miss football head coach Hugh Freeze said, because its talented, particularly if it gets momentum and confidence during the course of the game.
The talents starts on defense, led by senior middle linebacker A.J. Johnson, a preseason All-American who leads the Southeastern Conference in tackles per game (11.3). Tennessee ranks top-20 nationally in scoring defense (19.2 ppg allowed), total defense (316.3 ypg allowed) and passing defense (160.2 ypg allowed).
One of the more interesting situational matchups will be third downs, where Tennessee leads the SEC and ranks fifth nationally in defensive third-down conversion (26.4 percent), and Ole Miss ranks fifth in the SEC and 22nd nationally in offensive third-down conversion (46.8 percent).
"They have good cover guys and they have good athletes and can play some man coverage to get after you with the pass rush," Ole Miss co-offensive coordinator Matt Luke said. "They have a nice third-down package where they bring in some more speed and take out a D-lineman. They're flying around and playing really hard, playing with an edge."
Landsharks Not Satisfied
The Ole Miss defense has been regarded as one of the best in the nation, if not the best in the nation, giving up just 11.8 points per game, which leads the SEC and ranks second nationally.
The Rebels are also tied for the SEC lead and eighth nationally with 16 turnovers forced, as they have scored almost as many touchdowns (4) as they have allowed this season (6).
Ole Miss shut out Texas A&M in the first half but allowed three second-half touchdowns, including two touchdowns on the last three drives of the game, which has not sit well with members of the defense.
"That was aggravating for us," senior safety Cody Prewitt said. "We want to be the No. 1 defense in the nation. For them to score 20 points on us is aggravating for all of us. That's one thing we have taken upon ourselves. We have a couple more games to prove we are the defense that people think we are."
"We gave up way too many points," senior cornerback Senquez Golson said. "It was a great thing we won, but after the game as a defense, we talked and said that it was not acceptable if you want the big games."
Big Games for Wallace, Nkemdiche?
Senior quarterback Bo Wallace is coming off his lowest passing total, having completed 13-of-19 passes for 178 yards with a touchdown and zero interceptions, but it didn't matter because the running game topped 150 yards and the defense accounted for two touchdowns in a 35-20 win over Texas A&M.
Depending on the flow of the game, Saturday might present an opportunity for Wallace to air it out and help his campaign for individual awards and honors.
"One thing he's done for us, when our defense is playing well, we're really trying to manage the game," said Freeze of Wallace. "His numbers the other night could have been a lot better because we had some things in the passing game. In that environment, when you're playing in front of 110,000 who are itching to be a factor in the game, the last thing I want to do is give them anything to be excited about."
Like Wallace, sophomore defensive tackle Robert Nkemdiche finds himself in the conversation for individual awards and honors, having been named to various outlets' midseason All-America team and added to the Chuck Bednarik Award Watch List.
Nkemdiche has put up modest numbers, totaling 14 tackles with a tackle for loss and one sack, and now faces a Tennessee offensive line that ranks last in the SEC and 121st nationally, giving up 3.83 sacks per game.
"He does so many good things in there, but his production's just not up as far as stats and numbers," Ole Miss defensive line coach Chris Kiffin said. "But as far as technique and all that, he's constantly getting better like I've always said about him."

Manchester United striker Robin van Persie heaps praise on Javier Hernández for his commitment to the cause
Robin van Persie has heaped praise on Javier Hernández for his dedication to the Manchester United cause and believes the Mexico striker is setting an example for all of his team-mates.
Hernández has fallen behind Van Persie in Sir Alex Ferguson's pecking order at Old Trafford but has still managed to notch up nine goals in 18 outings for the Red Devils so far this term.
And Van Persie admits he has been impressed by the striker's "enthusiasm" at Carrington as he bids to secure a regular starting berth.
"I love Chicharito's enthusiasm," Van Persie told MUTV. "I love how he plays and trains and does his work off the pitch after training.
"A couple of weeks ago he wasn't playing as much but he was in the gym every day doing extra work, and that sets a big example for everyone."
Hernández has scored 41 goals in 99 appearances for the Red Devils since joining the club from Guadalajara in 2010.

Other Pets at American Cocker Spaniel Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
CHARLIE - 4, a Tacoma Cavalier King Charles Spaniel dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel for sale in Tacoma, or seeking a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel dog from a breeder in Tacoma.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Tacoma already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Tacoma breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Cavalier King Charles Spaniel breeders who help with Cavalier King Charles Spaniel rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Tacoma paves the way for another one to be saved.

Zachary Rodgers | April 28, 2005 | Comments
Latest numbers fromIAB/PwC show online ad spending rose to a new $9.6 billion high.
Online ad revenues for 2004 were up 33 percent to $9.6 billion, the highest level ever, according to the latest report from the Interactive Advertising Bureau and PricewaterhouseCoopers.
New data include finalized revenue numbers from Q3, Q4 and full-year 2004 as reported by interactive advertising sellers. Of the total figure, $2.3 billion was spent in the third quarter; and $2.7 billion in the fourth.
The latter number makes Q4 2004 the most lucrative quarter ever reported for the medium, according to historical IAB/PwC results. That's perhaps not surprising, as the quarter included both the final four weeks of the Presidential campaign and the holiday season. It was the second consecutive year in which Q4 revenues were up year-over-year.
Search marketers continued their stampede. Annual revenue in this category leapt from 35 to 40 percent of the overall spend. On a dollar basis, search revenues were up more than half to $3.9 billion. Classifieds rose one percent to 18 percent. Display and sponsorship ad revenue climbed 14 percent to $2.6 billion, but the share of the total declined from 31 to 27 percent. Within the display category, rich media spending was up 32 percent to $963 million.
"The big news is that display advertising is really growing now," said IAB President and CEO Greg Stuart. "Brand marketers are saying, 'Hey, if it works for direct, then absolutely it's a medium that works for the rest of us.'"
Consumer advertisers dominated online marketing, capturing 49 percent of all 2004 revenues. Within that group, retail (40 percent) and automotive (19 percent) dominated. Consumer advertising's share of the total online spend was up 12 percent over the previous year. The most competitive non-consumer verticals, meanwhile, were "computing advertisers" (18 percent) and financial services (17 percent). Telecommunications lagged behind at four percent.
Within the classified format, which remained surprisingly strong given the challenges posed by free listings sites, dominant segments were job listings (47 percent) and auction-based listings (34 percent).
If you require proof local search is still a blip on the horizon, the IAB/PwC report has it. Online national advertising targeting non-local audiences accounted for 94 percent of all revenues reported.

- Studio: Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation
- Release Date: Apr 16, 2003
- Starring: Eduardo Verástegui, Jaci Velasquez, Roselyn Sanchez, Sofía Vergara
- Summary: Three women think they have found the perfect man. When they converge on Los Angeles, they are shocked to discover their three perfect men are really just one. (20th Century Fox)

Score distribution:
Positive: 4 out of 23
Mixed: 8 out of 23
Negative: 11 out of 23
As light as a feather, as fresh as spring, and as lubricious as a centerfold... There is something extroverted and refreshing in the way these women enjoy their beauty and their sexiness.
Just as you're ready to give up on Chasing Papi, Paul Rodriguez shows up, and the movie goes from plotless to wildly overwritten in just one scene.
The energy is infectious, and while the female empowerment angle is no doubt sincere, the whole up-tempo construction jiggles a bit too much to be taken seriously.
For the most part, the fast-moving pace, thankfully slight running time, attractive leads and infectious soundtrack distract from its many inconsistencies
This pursuit farce is harmless (if stale) entertainment, but the sledge-hammer attempt to appeal to the country's fastest-growing movie-going demographic makes for a clunky narrative and one-note characters.
No doubt Fox wants to tap into those Latina dollars, but you've got to spend money to make money, and this shoddily cheap-looking product ain't gonna do it.
So resoundingly awful, there may be grounds to sue for mental suffering.

Tyndale (TYN) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 And Ioseph wet and tolde Pharao and sayde: my father and my brethern their shepe and their beastes and all that they haue are come out of the lade of Canaan and are in the lande of Gosan. | 1 Joseph went and told Pharaoh, "My father and brothers, with their flocks and herds and everything they own, have come from the land of Canaan and are now in Goshen." |
2 And Ioseph toke a parte of his brethern: euen fyue of them and presented them vnto Pharao. | 2 He chose five of his brothers and presented them before Pharaoh. |
3 And Pharao sayde vnto his brethern: what is youre occupation? And they sayde vnto Pharao: feaders of shepe are thi seruauntes both we ad also oure fathers. | 3 Pharaoh asked the brothers, "What is your occupation?" "Your servants are shepherds," they replied to Pharaoh, "just as our fathers were." |
4 They sayde moreouer vnto Pharao: for to sogcorne in the lande are we come for thy seruauntes haue no pasture for their shepe so sore is the fameshment in the lande of Canaan. Now therfore let thy seruauntes dwell in the lande of Gosan. | 4 They also said to him, "We have come to live here awhile, because the famine is severe in Canaan and your servants' flocks have no pasture. So now, please let your servants settle in Goshen." |
5 And Pharao sayde vnto Ioseph: thy father and thy brethren are come vnto the. | 5 Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Your father and your brothers have come to you, |
6 The londe of Egipte is open before the: In the best place of the lande make both thy father and thy brothren dwell: And even in the lond of Gosan let them dwell. Moreouer yf thou knowe any men of actiuyte amonge them make them ruelars ouer my catell. | 6 and the land of Egypt is before you; settle your father and your brothers in the best part of the land. Let them live in Goshen. And if you know of any among them with special ability, put them in charge of my own livestock." |
7 And Ioseph brought in Iacob his father and sett him before Pharao And Iacob blessed Pharao. | 7 Then Joseph brought his father Jacob in and presented him before Pharaoh. After Jacob blessed Pharaoh, |
8 And Pharao axed Iacob how old art thou? | 8 Pharaoh asked him, "How old are you?" |
9 And Iacob sayde vnto Pharao: the dayes of my pilgremage are an hundred and .xxx. yeres. Few and euell haue the dayes of my lyfe bene and haue not attayned vnto the yeres of the lyfe of my fathers in the dayes of their pilgremages. | 9 And Jacob said to Pharaoh, "The years of my pilgrimage are a hundred and thirty. My years have been few and difficult, and they do not equal the years of the pilgrimage of my fathers." |
10 And Iacob blessed Pharao and went out from him. | 10 Then Jacob blessed Pharaoh and went out from his presence. |
11 And Ioseph prepared dwellinges for his father and his brethern and gaue them possessions in the londe of Egipte in the best of the londe: eue in the lande of Raemses as Pharao commaunded. | 11 So Joseph settled his father and his brothers in Egypt and gave them property in the best part of the land, the district of Rameses, as Pharaoh directed. |
12 And Ioseph made prouysion for his father his brethern and all his fathers housholde as yonge childern are fedd with bread. | 12 Joseph also provided his father and his brothers and all his father's household with food, according to the number of their children. |
13 There was no bread in all the londe for the derth was exceadige sore: so yt ye lode of Egipte and ye lode of Canaan were fameshyd by ye reason of ye derth. | 13 There was no food, however, in the whole region because the famine was severe; both Egypt and Canaan wasted away because of the famine. |
14 And Ioseph brought together all ye money yt was founde in yt lade of Egipte and of Canaan for ye corne which they boughte: and he layde vp the money in Pharaos housse. | 14 Joseph collected all the money that was to be found in Egypt and Canaan in payment for the grain they were buying, and he brought it to Pharaoh's palace. |
15 When money fayled in the lade of Egipte and of Canaan all the Egiptians came vnto Ioseph and sayde: geue us sustenaunce: wherfore suffrest thou vs to dye before the for oure money is spent. | 15 When the money of the people of Egypt and Canaan was gone, all Egypt came to Joseph and said, "Give us food. Why should we die before your eyes? Our money is used up." |
16 Then sayde Ioseph: brynge youre catell and I well geue yow for youre catell yf ye be without money. | 16 "Then bring your livestock," said Joseph. "I will sell you food in exchange for your livestock, since your money is gone." |
17 And they brought their catell vnto Ioseph. And he gaue them bread for horses and shepe and oxen and asses: so he fed them with bread for all their catell that yere. | 17 So they brought their livestock to Joseph, and he gave them food in exchange for their horses, their sheep and goats, their cattle and donkeys. And he brought them through that year with food in exchange for all their livestock. |
18 When that yere was ended they came vnto him the nexte yere and sayde vnto him: we will not hydest from my lorde how that we haue nether money nor catell for my lorde: there is no moare left for my lorde but euen oure bodies and oure londes. | 18 When that year was over, they came to him the following year and said, "We cannot hide from our lord the fact that since our money is gone and our livestock belongs to you, there is nothing left for our lord except our bodies and our land. |
19 Wherfore latest thou us dye before thyne eyes and the londe to goo to noughte? bye us and oure landes for bread: and let both vs and oure londes be bonde to Pharao. Geue vs seed that we may lyue and not dye and that the londe goo not to wast. | 19 Why should we perish before your eyes--we and our land as well? Buy us and our land in exchange for food, and we with our land will be in bondage to Pharaoh. Give us seed so that we may live and not die, and that the land may not become desolate." |
20 And Ioseph boughte all the lande of Egipte for Pharao. For the Egiptians solde euery man his londe because the derth was sore apo them: and so the londe be came Pharaos. | 20 So Joseph bought all the land in Egypt for Pharaoh. The Egyptians, one and all, sold their fields, because the famine was too severe for them. The land became Pharaoh's, |
21 And he appoynted the people vnto the cities from one syde of Egipte vnto the other: | 21 and Joseph reduced the people to servitude, from one end of Egypt to the other. |
22 only the londe of the Prestes bought he not. For there was an ordinauce made by Pharao for ye preastes that they shulde eate that which was appoynted vnto them: which Pharao had geuen them wherfore they solde not their londes. | 22 However, he did not buy the land of the priests, because they received a regular allotment from Pharaoh and had food enough from the allotment Pharaoh gave them. That is why they did not sell their land. |
23 Then Ioseph sayde vnto the folke: beholde I haue boughte you this daye ad youre landes for Pharao. Take there seed and goo sowe the londe. | 23 Joseph said to the people, "Now that I have bought you and your land today for Pharaoh, here is seed for you so you can plant the ground. |
24 And of the encrease ye shall geue the fyfte parte vnto Pharao and .iiij. partes shalbe youre awne for seed to sowe the feld: and for you and them of youre housholdes and for youre childern to eate. | 24 But when the crop comes in, give a fifth of it to Pharaoh. The other four-fifths you may keep as seed for the fields and as food for yourselves and your households and your children." |
25 And they answered: Thou haste saued oure lyves Let vs fynde grace in the syghte of my lorde and let us be Pharaos servautes. | 25 "You have saved our lives," they said. "May we find favor in the eyes of our lord; we will be in bondage to Pharaoh." |
26 And Ioseph made it a lawe ouer the lade of Egipte vnto this daye: that men must geue Pharao the fyfte parte excepte the londe of the preastes only which was not bond vnto Pharao. | 26 So Joseph established it as a law concerning land in Egypt--still in force today--that a fifth of the produce belongs to Pharaoh. It was only the land of the priests that did not become Pharaoh's. |
27 And Israel dwelt in Egipte: euen in the countre of Gosan. And they had their possessions therein and they grewe and multiplyed exceadingly. | 27 Now the Israelites settled in Egypt in the region of Goshen. They acquired property there and were fruitful and increased greatly in number. |
28 Moreouer Iacob lyued in the lande of Egipte .xvij. yeres so that the hole age of Iacob was an hundred and .xlvij. yere. | 28 Jacob lived in Egypt seventeen years, and the years of his life were a hundred and forty-seven. |
29 When the tyme drewe nye that Israel must dye: he sent for his sonne Ioseph and sayde vnto him: Yf I haue founde grace in thy syghte put thy hande vnder my thye and deale mercifully ad truely with me that thou burie me not in Egipte: | 29 When the time drew near for Israel to die, he called for his son Joseph and said to him, "If I have found favor in your eyes, put your hand under my thigh and promise that you will show me kindness and faithfulness. Do not bury me in Egypt, |
30 but let me lye by my fathers and carie me out of Egipte and burie me in their buryall. And he answered: I will do as thou hast sayde. | 30 but when I rest with my fathers, carry me out of Egypt and bury me where they are buried." "I will do as you say," he said. |
31 And he sayde: swere vnto me: ad he sware vnto him. And than Israel bowed him vnto the beddes head. | 31 "Swear to me," he said. Then Joseph swore to him, and Israel worshiped as he leaned on the top of his staff. |
