There’s a lot going out, but there should also be a lot coming in. TAURUS If things aren't going the way you want, hold out for a little while longer. Conditions are changing in your favor. GEMINI Take time out from the fun and games to discuss an upcoming expense. Don’t let it creep up on you. CANCER Finish a job that’s been giving you fits. Keep trying different methods until you find one that works. LEO Time to prove you can do what you promised. Don’t do it for the money. Do it for love.

SAGITTARIUS You can generally ( live in a fantasy world, but . sometimes you have to get real. This is one of those times. CAPRICORN Make sure a gentle loved one knows how much he or she brings to your life. If you can’t find the words, send flowers. AQUARIUS You’re generally quick to discuss whatever’s on your mind. Today, that’s not a great idea. PISCES You know someone who’s sometimes cranky but always trustworthy and true. That person could use a sympathetic listener now. Panic Room CONTINUED FROM PAGE 7 suspense movie. And while Fincher has great skill in suspense and good technical skills, something is missing. What’s missing is a better plot. Too many stupid moments and brushes with terror don’t make this the bang-for-our-buck, all-out, nitty-gritty suspense movie we want. The movie is predictable. It’s on a good course, until our characters actually reach the panic room. Then the thrill ride turns into a kiddie ride. , Comments on this story? E-mail gamecockmixeditor@hotmail.com Antipop CONTINUED FROM PAGE 7 isn’t strictly for hip-hop fans; it has such wide appeal that it can inspire pretty much anyone. Antipop Consortium has been together as a New York-based exploratory hip-hop group since its first full-length release, “Tragic Epilogue,” in 2000. Before the group’s formation, its three members spent most of the ’90s in groups with names such as When Rap Meets Poetry in the New York City poetiy-slam scene. The three began to compile their underground poetic rap sound onto tapes and distribute them. They called these recordings Antipop Consortium Tapes. But as these recordings’ popularity grew, so did the frequency that the three were referred to as Antipop Consortium. Beans, Sayyid and Priest also did a side project for a while that was a kind of unconventional jazz quartet. This quartet used electronic beats and was frequently featured at raves. Staying true to its love of jazz, Antipop Consortium is working on a collaboration with jazz pianist Matthew Shipp. The group also recently played a number of tour dates with Radiohead. Soon, its fan base will be as unique and eclectic as the group. Comments on this story?E-mail gamecockmixeditorffthotmail.com Harlow CONTINUED FROM PAGE 7 ing with the Sex Pistols and Marilyn Manson. She recruited Gonzalez and Gibb to form Harlow, named after silver screen siren Jean Harlow. Rootes is Harlow’s lead singer and guitarist. Gonzalez, the bass player, gained notoriety in the Los Angeles club scene as a member of the Penny Dreadfuls. Gibb, the drummer, was a radio disc jockey before she became a musician. Patron joined the group just in time for this tour. The women of Harlow have a gothic-rock look that matches their sound. They mix heavy gui tars with intricate, pounding bass lines and unvarnished drumming to create a seriously rockin’ ac companiment to angst-ridden, straight-to-the-point lyrics. Then sound is loud and unforgiving, but Rootes’ strong vocals make it accessible. Her voice is more melodic than P.J. Harvey’s but has the same power. Harlow sounds like Hole would have if Courtney Love could sing. “Harlowland” exhibits the group’s rock-out capabilities al most as well as its energetic live show does. “Vertigo” showcases Rootes’ voice to its best advan tage, and “Rock Queens” is a seeringly eerie hardcore song. Fans of “Bands on the Run” will recognize “Michael Hunt” and “Blue Lie.” Cosmic Fame and Mourning After will open at the all-ages show that starts at 9 p.m. Comments on this story?

Instead, he should • have looked to last year’s “Josie and the Pussycats” for tips on how to use film to comment on the dangers of commercialized entertainment. (Yes, you heard me right. “Josie and the Pussycats” did what this movie could not.) If Resnick was trying to write some of the worst dialogue ever, he deserves applause. A monkey, a typewriter and 16 bottles of Nyquil could have produced a better script. One would assume that, even with the horrendous dialogue, such a talented cast could make something of it. Unfortunately, Norton is the only one who manages to com« off as believable as he lays all his dignity on the altar to be sacrificed in vain. It’s almost painful to watch Keener, whose brilliant performance in “Being John Malkovich” is sullied by her appearance in this movie, where she stares blankly into space for most of the film as if she had taken a couple of swigs from the monkey’s Nyquil. Lastly, movie producers should know by now not to cast Williams in any roles that would give him liberty to pursue his schizophrenic tendencies. Before seeing this film, I was convinced that next year’s Razzie Awards would be swept by “Sorority Boys” and “Crossroads.” But now it looks like Hollywood has a new winner for the worst movie of the year. If ygu want to totally waste your time and money, and you haven’t already seen “Sorority Boys” and “Crossroads,” check out “Death to Smoochy.” Comments on this story?
