Jimbo Fisher just annihilated Nick Saban over the Alabama coach's claims that Texas A&M "bought" all of its recruits ... calling him a narcissist and saying their relationship is now over. The TAMU head man didn't hold a thing back at a press conference on Thursday morning, firing away at Saban for several minutes during the meeting with the media. "It's despicable that a reputable head coach can come out and say this when he doesn't get his way or things don't go his way," Fisher said, just hours after the Tide coach made the dig Wednesday night. Twitter / @jlightsy7 "The narcissist in him doesn't allow those things to happen and it's ridiculous when he's not on top." Fisher continued, "Some people think they're God. Go dig into how God did his deal. You may find out about a guy, a lot of things you don't want to know. You make him the czar of college football. Go dig into his past." Fisher said Saban tried to reach out to him following the … [Read more...] about Jimbo Fisher Eviscerates ‘Narcissist’ Nick Saban, ‘Some People Think They’re God’

Cannes Review: Lotfy Nathan’s ‘Harka’
A young man struggles to provide for his family in Harka , Lotfy Nathan ’s debut feature screening in Un Certain Regard at the Cannes Film Festival . Set in Tunisia, it’s a quietly absorbing portrait of one man’s life in the wake of his father’s death. Ali (Adam Bessa) hasn’t seen his family for a while but is suddenly left in charge of his two younger sisters. Ali sells gas on the streets without a license, and either hides the money he makes or boozes it away. Now, he’s expected to step up and lead a family, even though noone seems to think he’s suited for the job. This is a world where decisions are made out of desperation — and this will be the first of many. Ali is visibly out of place in the family home, where his sisters lead a quiet and studious life — he even opts to sleep outside the house on the street. As his sisters muse on the reasons for this, so do we: does he feel worthless, undeserving of his father’s bed? Is he trying to protect his sisters? … [Read more...] about Cannes Review: Lotfy Nathan’s ‘Harka’
Cannes Review: Mikko Myllylahti’s ‘The Woodcutter Story’
There is a sort of checklist for Finnish films — and I say this with love — that includes snowy exteriors, bleakly austere interiors, ice fishing and someone getting murdered with an axe. The Woodcutter Story ticks every box, plus a few more. Characters who barely speak, for example — and who may, indeed, have nothing to say. When they do, there is a jolting humor that may not be humor at all: their deadpan delivery gives nothing away. This is the Finnish way. Director/writer Mikko Myllylahti — a poet who also penned the script for Juho Kuosmanen’s The Happiest Day in the Life of Olli Maki , which won a major prize at the Cannes Film Festival in 2016 — sets his Cannes Critics’ Week title in an unnamed village in the far north of Finland clustered around a timber mill. Myllylahti’s hero Pepe is a timber worker, played by the same actor who brought such humanity to Olli Maki, Jarkko Lahti. Pepe is a radiant innocent, beloved by all. When we first meet him, it is … [Read more...] about Cannes Review: Mikko Myllylahti’s ‘The Woodcutter Story’

Doechii performed her latest singles, “Persuasive” and “Crazy” on The Tonight Show Wednesday, marking the hotly tipped singer and rapper’s TV debut. Backed by a live band, the Florida native displayed her chameleon-like qualities as she deftly moved between the laid-back R&B flow of “Persuasive” and the aggressive, scream-punctuated verses of “Crazy” — all while performing in an elaborate light-brown gown.
