The movie version of Les Misérables is a glass case of emotion

Posted on December 26, 2012 by Aaron Yorke

I didn’t walk into Les Misérables with a whole bunch of high expectations. I knew about the Oscar buzz, but I didn’t think I had the patience to sit through a two-and-a-half-hour emotional gauntlet. I still don’t have that patience — the film felt like it was about an hour longer than it actually was — but I did enjoy myself. The reason for that is because Les Misérables is a musical masterpiece that will have me humming “Can you hear the people sing?” for the next month or so.

The story of Les Misérables revolves around Jean Valjean (Hugh Jackman), an ex-con who is having trouble re-acclimating himself into society. All poor Valjean did was steal a loaf of bread so that his nephew didn’t have to stave to death, but because he ran from the law, he got locked up for a long time and has been doing a lot of slave labor. At the opening of the film, Valjean finishes his jail sentence and is set free, but the “bad guy” of the film, Inspector Javier (Russell Crowe), sets him up with papers that basically make it impossible for him to find honest work. Valjean is free, except he’s really not.

So Valjean goes out into the world and finally find a church to crash at when he’s at the point of starvation. The church gives him food and a bed, but Valjean gets greedy and sets out in the middle of the night with a bunch of stolen silver. He gets caught, but the man at the church is a total bro and lies for Valjean, saying that the silver was a gift. Now with a second chance, Valjean swears to become an honest man, and he rips up his papers, saying goodbye to his former self.

Eight years later, Valjean has become a mayor and factory owner in a suburb of Paris. He’s going under an assumed name, but it appears Valjean has completely escaped his former self. One day, a worker in his factory, Fantine (Anne Hathaway) is fired by the foreman and becomes terminally ill. Feeling responsible, Valjean promises to adopt Fantine’s child, Cosette (Isabelle Allen, Amanda Seyfried). That would be all well and good, but at the same time, Javier shows up on assignment to protect Valjean’s town. Eventually, the inspector comes to recognize the former prisoner, and the chase is on.

At its heart, Les Misérables is an epic battle between two opposing forces. Valjean is avoiding the law as a means to an end. He has to leave his old self behind in order to be a good man and provide for Cosette. Javier represents Valjean’s past always coming back to haunt him. According to Javier, “once a thief, always a thief.” Valjean must be brought to justice, no matter the cost to Cosette or anyone else.

Thanks to the strength of their characters, whenever Valjean and Javier are on screen at the same time, the tension and excitement is nearly tangible. Unfortunately, the film introduces a love triangle about halfway through that is a lot harder to care about. You see, Éponine (Samantha Barks) loves Marius (Eddie Redmayne), but Marius only has eyes for Cosette, despite not really knowing anything about her. Meanwhile, Marius has clearly known Éponine for longer, and she’s pretty hot. But no, Marius has got to go for the girl whose father is a fugitive and also highly overprotective. Good luck with that.

The Hobbit is not as great as The Lord of the Rings, but still a lot of fun

Posted on December 25, 2012 by Aaron Yorke

I was pretty surprised when I heard that Peter Jackson was going to turn The Hobbit into a motion picture trilogy. Yes, I claim to never be surprised when a company makes a decision that will make it more money, but I don’t think anyone has tried to make a trilogy out of a single 300-page novel before. Hey, at least we were less likely to end up complaining about our favorites scenes getting cut.

The bad news is that The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey feels unnecessarily stretched out at times, especially at the beginning of the film. Before we even meet our hero Bilbo Baggins, we’re given an extensive look into the past of Middle Earth, when the Dwarves had their kingdom taken from them by the evil dragon Smaug. Smaug now resides in the ruins of that kingdom, known as The Lonely Mountain, guarding a pile of treasure. This introduction does a good job of building up the hype for the eventual confrontation between our hero and the dragon. The problem is that the audience has to wait until at least next year for that confrontation to actually take place.

The movie really should have started when Bilbo meets his travelling companions: 12 ordinary Dwarves, the legendary Dwarf Thorin Oakenshield, and the wizard Gandalf, who is wonderfully played by the beloved Ian McKellen. It’s in this part that the motivations and conflicts between the characters really get fleshed out. Bilbo is recruited by Gandalf on behalf of Thorin and company because of the Hobbit’s ability to sneak around unseen. After all, it would be crazy to go at Smaug in a straight-up brawl.

The problem is that Bilbo is very reluctant about adventures of any kind. He also lacks the strength and the combat skills (and the facial hair) that Thorin values in the rest of his company. Why should Bilbo risk his life for the sake of a group of Dwarves that doesn’t seem to respect him that much? That’s a theme throughout the film.

This recent Giants blowout loss was worse than the last one

Posted on December 25, 2012 by Aaron Yorke

The loss that the Giants suffered at the hands of Baltimore on Sunday wasn’t the same as the embarrassment that occurred the week before in Atlanta. In fact, the effort in the 33-14 loss to Baltimore may have been even worse than the one put forth when the Giants were shutout 34-0 by the Falcons.

At least in Atlanta the Giants mounted numerous drives into Atlanta territory. Sure, Manning was sloppy with the ball, but New York established a running game and had a chance to get back into the game numerous times. The Giants were only bested on a per play basis by half a yard (5.9 to 5.4).

The Baltimore debacle featured New York getting pounded for 6.6 yards per play on defense while only producing 4.1 on offense. It should be noted, though, that a lot of that 6.6 happened in big chunks on third down. In the second quarter, with the Ravens ahead 14-7, the Giants had a chance to get the ball back after two outstanding plays by Chris Canty. It was 3rd and 19, and the Ravens had been pushed out of field goal range to the New York 48-yard line.

A common theme of the day, New York’s disappearing pass rush, allowed Joe Flacco enough time to find Anquan Boldin 39 yards downfield in the midst of zone coverage. The Ravens would only get a field goal on that drive, but the next Giants possession was destroyed by a pair of questionable penalties, and the Ravens took advantage by driving for a touchdown before the half. The 27-yard catch-and-run by New Rochelle’s own Ray Rice put the Giants in a 24-7 hole at the half.

So, yeah, three things made the Baltimore loss more excruciating than the Atlanta loss.
1) The defense was just as poor against an offense that is decidedly worse than Atlanta’s.
2) The Giants didn’t turn the ball over or fail on fourth down, and yet they still struggled to score points.
3) The loss to Baltimore happened a week after Atlanta, when the playoffs were on the line and the team was supposed to have its act togehter.

I’m not going to get into Corey Webster here. I think he’s had a good enough year and Torrey Smith is a really good player. Plus, Webster was close on almost every play. Jayron Hosley didn’t catch as much flack last week when he let Atlanta receivers run right past him the week before.

The Giants have stunk for the past two weeks. They can’t play much worse, but there is still a legitimate chance for them to sneak into the playoffs. The hard part will be finding a way to defeat Philadelphia this Sunday, so hang in there. The worse that can happen is that an entertaining offseason gets started early.

Mets trade Dickey, acquire hot catching prospect Travis d’Arnaud

Posted on December 18, 2012 by Aaron Yorke

With David Wright already being signed to a lengthy extension, the two big Mets dramas of the offseason have been brought to conclusion. On Monday morning it was announced that the Mets had agreed to a deal with the Toronto Blue Jays that would send R.A. Dickey and below average catcher Josh Thole up north in exchange for Jays top prospect Travis d’Arnaud (pronounced “Dar-No”), veteran backstop John Buck, and pitching prospect Noah Syndergaard.

Later in the day it was revealed that Mike Nickeas would also be going to the Jays while 18-year-old outfielder Wuilmer Becerra would become a member of the Mets.

Although I will miss having R.A. Dickey on the team like any other Mets fan, I’m pretty thrilled that general manager Sandy Alderson was able to swing a deal that has brought over an elite catching prospect as well as a potential mid-rotation starter. The Mets needed a catcher in the worst way, and d’Arnaud has a chance to be an above average starter at the position for years to come.

In his last two minor league seasons, d’Arnaud batted .311/.371/.542 at double-A New Hampshire in 2011 and .333/.380/.595 at triple-A Las Vegas in 2012. Yes, Las Vegas is a great environment for hitters, but d’Arnaud still profiles as a good defensive catcher who can hit for power, which is really all you can ask for in a catching prospect. Here’s what prospect expert John Sickels has to say about him:

He’s not perfect, but D’Arnaud is either the best catching prospect in baseball or the second-best behind Mike Zunino. Could use a bit more polish with his throwing and his plate discipline and immediate stardom is unlikely, but overall he’s the complete package. Don’t expect him to be Mike Piazza, but he should be a long-term solution.

So he’s not Superman, but remember, Mike Piazza wasn’t supposed to be Mike Piazza, either. If d’Arnaud is indeed a “long-term solution,” he’ll be worth the three years of Dickey the Mets sent away all by himself.

While d’Arnaud is the headline acquisition of the deal for the Mets, Sickels is also very bullish on Syndergaard, who he ranks between Zach Wheeler and Wilmer Flores on his list of top Mets prospects.

He’s ahead of where Wheeler was at age 20. Strong sinking fastball, good change-up, breaking stuff coming around, solid command, good body, good makeup, strong sabermetric profile. Just needs to stay healthy.

Last year in Single-A, Syndergaard struck out 122 batters and walked only 31 in 103.2 innings. However, that was only his first professional season with over 100 innings pitched, so you can see why there are durability concerns. If Syndergaard can hold up, Sickels makes it sound like he is a good bet to make an impact in future Mets rotations.

The other two pieces in the Dickey trade, Buck and Becerra, will likely impact the immediate present and the distant future, respectively. Buck was sent over to Toronto in the massive Jays/Marlins trade earlier this winter than saw the Jays acquire Jose Reyes, Josh Johnson, and Mark Buehrle. Buck is now 32 years old and last season he batted just .192/.297/.347, although that did include 12 home runs in 343 at-bats. That basically makes him sound like Rod Barajas, so hopefully he’ll go on an April home run binge and then disappear after he’s replaced by d’Arnaud in the middle of the 2013 season.

Becerra is a speedy outfielder who has played just 11 games of professional baseball. He would have more, but last season he was reportedly hit in the face with a fastball and suffered a broken jaw. According to Toby Hyde, Becerra was only listed as Tornto’s 30th best prospect last season, but he’s got lots of room to grow, so hopefully we’ll see him in Queens in five years or so when the Mets are making a World Series run.

By trading away Dickey for Buck and a trio of prospects, the Mets have more or less ensured that 2013 isn’t their year, but the future looks much brighter than it did a week ago.

Eli Manning isn’t elite, and I don’t care

Posted on December 17, 2012 by Aaron Yorke

The Giants lost on Sunday to the Atlanta Falcons, 34-0. Horrible, horrible, horrible, blah, blah, blah. Thanks to a brutal collapse by the Chicago Bears, the Giants can still clinch a playoff birth with two wins in their final two games.

The loss was mostly due to two problems. The first was awful pass defense. Matt Ryan wasn’t put under enough pressure, and it showed. He completed 23 of 28 passes for 270 yards, three touchdowns, and zero interceptions. With the problems the Giants have in the secondary (Prince Amukamara was out with a hamstring injury, Kenny Phillips has missed more than half the season with knee problems), they need to have a solid pressure to have any sort of success defending the pass. They got that pressure against Green Bay and New Orleans. It wasn’t there against Atlanta.

The second problem was passing offense. The Giants actually beat the Falcons in the ground game by more than one yard per carry, but Eli and company’s aerial attack couldn’t do nearly enough to keep up with Atlanta. Manning threw a pair of dreadful first half interceptions that bascially spotted the Falcons 10 points. On top of that, the Atlanta secondary smothered Hakeem Nicks and Victor Cruz for more or less the entire game. Domenik Hixon catching five passes for 80 yards is great for Domenick Hixon, but it’s not a great sign for New York’s offense.

So, yeah that covers most of what went wrong. The Giants will be better in Baltimore this week. Plus, the only reason they got shut out (besides the Lawrence Tynes terrible field goal miss) was because Tom Coughlin put his offense on the field on fourth down instead of giving up with token field goal tries. Good for him; you always have to play to win the game.

Anyway, the thing I was trying to get to was that Eli Manning isn’t an elite quarterback. He’s not in the same class as Tom Brady or Petyon Manning, and it’s mostly because of this darn interceptions that have plagued him his whole career and will likely continue to show up in the future. Just look at the interception percentage from the last three seasons for Eli Manning and Brady.

Brady
2010: 0.8%, 2011: 2.0%, 2012: 1.1%

Eli Manning
2010: 4.6%, 2011: 2.7%, 2012: 3.1%

The numbers aren’t really close. Manning has led the league in interceptions twice. In 2010, he threw 25 picks, and 2007 he tossed 20. Brady has never thrown as many as 15 interceptions in a season, and he has two 16-game seasons in which he’s thrown less than 10. If Brady throws less than four picks in his last two games, he’ll be able to add another less-than-10 interception season to his resume.

This season, Manning has mixed in some brilliant games with some duds. Against Pittsburgh, he completed just 42 percent of his passes. In Atlanta he threw for 161 yards, zero touchdowns, and two interceptions. Against Cincinnati, Manning was similarly awful. Even when he threw for 510 yards versus Tampa Bay, he also tossed a season-high three picks that jeopardized the game.

Eli Manning is not elite because he’s not consistent. He’s not elite, because year after year, he’s not as good as the best quarterback in the league. The good news is that Manning does not need to be “elite” for the Giants to win the Super Bowl. He just needs to make a couple of plays, protect the ball, and be assisted by a great defense. That puts him in the same class as Ben Roethlisberger. It’s not where many Giants fans want Manning to be, but as long as he’s good enough to win a title, that’s fine with me.

Big Ten Basketball Tuesday Roundup

Posted on December 12, 2012 by Aaron Yorke

Michigan 67, Binghamton 39

Yes, the Wolverines are quite impressive. They’re 10-0 for the first time since the 1988-89 season (hey, they won the National Championship that season!) and are seventh in the nation in effective field goal percentage (eFG%). Against Binghamton on Tuesday night, Michigan unleashed its usual rain of three-pointers to bury its opponent. Trey Burke was 3-for-6 from beyond the arc and the amazing Canadian freshman Nik Stauskas was 4-for-8.

Burke led everyone with 19 points and had five assists to boot. Stauskas missed all three of his two-pointers and was the only other Wolverine in double figures. His supposedly hot shooting actual lowered his three-point percentage on the season to 59%. Meanwhile, another key freshman, Mitch McGary had almost as many offensive rebounds (four) as the entire Binghamton squad (five).

Tim Hardaway Jr. attempted the most threes out of anyone (nine) but he only made a pair. Since opening the season 8-for-11 from three-point range against Slippery Rock and Cleveland State, Hardaway has shot just 8-for-37 from that distance (22%). He really should take advantage of his athleticism and get to the basket more.

Minnesota 70, North Dakota State 57

The Gophers lost six of their last seven in the regular season last February, but a run to the NIT finals, combined with several returning players, further combined with the return of rebounding machine Trevor Mbakwe has turned Minnesota into a contender. The team’s nation-leading offensive rebounding prowess was on display once again on Tuesday night against North Dakota State. The Gophers only shot 38% from the field, but they grabbed 16 of their own misses and held the Bison to just six offensive rebounds.

Rodney Williams had four offensive rebounds, 19 points, and a spectacular dunk that you can view above. Mbakwe has had his minutes limited so far this season, but that hasn’t affected his impact on the game. In just 21 minutes on Tuesday night, he had six offensive rebounds, 12 defensive rebounds, as well as 14 points. By percentage, Mbakwe is the fifth-best offensive rebounder in the nation so far this season.

Illinois 64, Norfolk State 54

Norfolk State became famous last season when they upset Missouri in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament. However, with the departure of star player Kyle O’Quinn to the NBA, the Spartans haven’t really been able to build on their one big win. This season, only one of their six wins came against a top-200 team (per KenPom), and they lost by 13 to Seton Hall (the only top-100 team besides Illinois on their schedule so far). The point is that Illinois should have one this game by a lot more than 10 points.

The Illini are undefeated this season because they’ve shot very well from long distance and limited turnovers. However, on Tuesday night they struggled from beyond the arc (26%) as well as from the free throw line (59%). John Groce’s squad was able to persevere, though, by only committing nine turnovers and by holding Norfolk State to 38% field goal shooting. Returning senior guard Brandon Paul led Illinois with 14 points and eight rebounds.

Both D.J. Richardson and Tracy Abrams suffered minor injuries during the game, but both were able to return.

Kidd, Knicks send Brooklyn to fifth straight defeat

Posted on December 12, 2012 by Aaron Yorke

I remember when I first learned that the Knicks had signed Jason Kidd, I shrugged it off as a minor acquisition  Kidd was 39 years old and in the twilight of his Hall of Fame career. His main role was supposedly to be a mentor and backup to Jeremy Lin. I figured that at his age, Kidd wasn’t going to be much better than Anthony Carter.

We’re only about a quarter of the way through the NBA season, but I was already wrong about three things over the summer. First of all, Kidd is backing up Raymond Felton, not Jeremy Lin. I still don’t agree with the decision to let Lin go, but Felton has been decent enough. He’s definitely closer to the 2010 version of Felton that was an asset to the Knicks before the Carmelo Anthony trade than the 2011 version that stunk on the Blazers.

Second, Kidd isn’t really backing up Felton. He’s starting besides him thanks to the general lack of a shooting guard on New York’s roster. Iman Shumpert is still recovering from a torn ACL and J.R. Smith is too much “shooting” and not enough “guard.” That leads into the third thing. Kidd has been much more of a game-changing player than I ever expected him to be, and he’s about 100 times better than Anthony Carter. Actually, since Carter was a negative, he’s about -100 times better than Anthony Carter.

In New York’s 100-97 victory over the Nets on Tuesday night, Kidd was at his best. He served up six assists, grabbed six rebounds, and shot from three-point range with lethal accuracy. Kidd doesn’t really create his own shot nowadays, but he does everything else pretty well (okay, defense is still an issue, but that’s what Tyson Chandler is for).

Those crazy Jets are just one game out of a playoff spot

Posted on December 11, 2012 by Aaron Yorke

The narrative regarding the New York Jets this season has been that of a comedic franchise that can’t get out of its own way. The Jets stumble around, get blown out by good teams, and play good enough defense against bad teams to win some ugly games. This narrative has some truth to it: The Jets were embarrassed at home this season by the 49ers, Patriots, and worst of all, the Dolphins.

However, there are some moments where the team has risen up to defy expectations. The Indianapolis Colts have been busy being media darlings because of their rookie quarterback and their unique head coach situation (G-d bless Chuck), but back in Week 6, the Jets laid a severe beatdown on the upstart franchise. And that was just a week after Indy’s season-defining win over Green Bay.

The Jets also won by two touchdowns in St. Louis in Week 11. The Rams are a mediocre team, but they’ve managed to defeat Washington, Seattle, and San Francisco in their building.

Gang Green won both of those big games by doing what it does best. It played solid defense and kept the ball out of Mark Sanchez’s hands. This strategy would probably work better if the Jets had just one above-average halfback on their roster, but considering the quarterback situation, it will have to make do.

This past Sunday, the GROUND AND POUND™ was on display once again. Sanchez threw 19 passes, and Bilal Powell and Shonn Greene combined for 39 rushes. The defense held the Jaguars to 3.9 yards per pass attempt, and the Jets churned out another victory to get to 6-7. That’s just one game behind the Bengals and Steelers for the last playoff spot in the AFC.

Thanks to a head-to-head loss to Pittsburgh earlier in the season, the Jets need the Steelers to lose two games in order to pass them in the playoff race, but it is possible. I’ve laid out below my plan that all Jets fans should follow to get their team into the playoffs.

Giants use kickoffs, turnovers to roll over Saints

Posted on December 10, 2012 by Aaron Yorke

Last week against Washington, the Giants committed numerous penalties on special teams and started five drives inside their own 20-yard line. With the Saints in town on Sunday, New York made big plays on defense and special teams that allowed them to start a whopping seven drives in New Orleans territory.

It’s a cliche that’s heard too often in the unpredictable NFL, but it’s amazing the difference that one week makes.

Instead of infuriating their fans with holding calls, New York’s kick return blockers opened up highway-sized lanes for kick returner David Wilson to run through. The Giants wasted Wilson’s 58-yard opening kickoff return with a three-and-out (and then drove me crazy by punting on 4th-and-3 from the New Orleans 37), so Wilson just returned the next kickoff 97 yards for a touchdown.

That was much needed because on New York’s previous possession, Eli Manning forced a third down throw to Jerrel Jernigan that was taken back all the way for a touchdown by Saints defensive back Elbert Mack. Even more upsetting than the fact that Manning had made a horrible mistake so early in a crucial game was that the NFL Network guys decided to go with a “Mack Daddy” line instead of the preferable “Secret World of Elbert Mack.” Inexcusable.

Anyway, Wilson’s thrilling kick return completely erased Manning’s error and set the tone for a 52-27 Giants victory that kept Big Blue in first place in the NFC East. It’s a good thing that the Giants pulled ahead and won by 25, because most fans’ hearts were already ready to explode from watching the Redskins and Cowboys pull out last-second, come-from-behind victories earlier in the day. Even though New York did not gain any ground on their divisional opponents, the easy of its victory made it seem like Dallas and Washington needed to expend all their resources just to keep pace with the Giants.

That’s not factually correct, but just because it seemed that way will make the Giants and their fans feel a little safer this week, at least until the team falls behind Atlanta 10-0. Here’s what else was interesting about New York’s big win on Sunday:

The Giants almost lost to the Redskins on Sunday

Posted on October 23, 2012 by Aaron Yorke

There’s no shame in losing to the Redskins nowadays. Washington has an explosive offense that’s led by a talented rookie quarterback who is wise beyond his years. They’re weak in the secondary but can still stop the run and put pressure on the quarterback.

That said, the Giants blew a couple of chances to put Sunday’s game in the books early and ended up putting the outcome in Robert Griffin III’s hands. When that happens, even the best laid defensive plans can go awry, and they did. Fortunately, Eli Manning and Victor Cruz exploited Washington’s weak spot on the ensuing possession to get the Giants over the finish line.

The 77-yard touchdown pass from Manning to Cruz left just over a minute on the clock for Washington, but the Giants forced Griffin to use the middle of the field. Even if Santana Moss had not fumbled the ball away around midfield, the Redskins would likely have run out of time anyway.

Of course, football games are not just won and lost in the last few minutes. Here’s what else contributed to (and detracted from) New York’s narrow victory:

The Giants were run over by Alfred Morris in the first half
Washington did not need much Griffin magic to move the ball in the first half. Although Griffin certainly did help his cause by dashing away from the ball carrier on read options, most of the credit has to go to Alfred Morris. The rookie out of Florida Atlantic bruised his way to 94 first half yards on 13 carries, and there was little the Giants could do about it. Even when they hit Morris just two or three yards past the line of scrimmage, the big back would bully his way for four or five more yards. Eli Manning needed to throw for 186 yards in the first half just to keep the game tied at 13-13.

Washington was on pace to take the lead in the third quarter, but the game quickly turned thanks to a slew of turnovers
After a punt from each team to start the second half, Washington took over on its own 36-yard line and began moving the ball down the field. The Redskins advanced as far as New York’s 28, but a 15-yard Morris run into the red zone was called back because of a questionable leg whip penalty that was called on right tackle Tyler Polumbus. Polumbus appeared to kick his leg up after trying to cut down a Giants defender, but the supposed whip did little to impede the defender’s progress. Nevertheless, the call halted Washington’s momentum and the drive fell apart completely when Linval Joseph forced Morris to fumble on the very next play. The Giants recovered the ball and quickly marched into Washington territory.

Now in field goal range themselves, the Giants gave the ball back when Manning overthrew Cruz and had the ball land in Josh Wilson’s hands. However, two Washington first downs later, Griffin misfired on a pass intended for tight end Logan Paulsen and had the ball picked off by Stevie Brown. Brown reached Washington’s 35-yard line on the return and the Giants capitalized early in the fourth quarter with a Ahmad Bradshaw one-yard touchdown run.
