Can you find it? It’s so delicate, so precise, a master craftsman must have made it. You couldn’t replace it for a fortune, but it won’t cost you a dime. Look around. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Whatever difficulties you encounter, you’ll solve them. Can’t think of what you want to say? Give yourself a minute. You’re bold yet cuddly, strong yet sensitive. In other words, you’re irresistible. GEMINI (May 21-June 21) You’re in the testing phase of your latest experiment. Can you produce the results consistently and still stay within budget? Keep trying. CANCER (June 22-July 22) What a glorious day! Friends would love it if you came out and played with them. Gather up a few, then head out for a special treat. Either take care of something you’re worried about first, or schedule it for tomorrow. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) A little sunburned? Tired? Perhaps a touch of poison oak? Savor the discomfort. It’s a small price to pay for the experience. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) How long has it been since you and your sweetheart or very best friend got out for a change of scenery? Can you take Monday off, too? Bon voyage. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct 22) The work you’ve done may lead you to have a substantial nest egg. This is not an inheritance or a gift; you’ve earned every penny. If you haven’t yet, keep at it. You’ll make your fortune through your own creativity. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) By now you should be on firm ground, feeling much more secure than before. Recent innovations will soon become routine. You’re getting down to the important stuff. This is something you can build upon. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 Dec. 21) It can be exciting to get into a new project, and fun to work hard. If this one was inspired by a breakdown, put the frustration aside. Only think about what you’ll accomplish next. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Sometimes words are unnecessary. Actions speak louder. You can ask, though, just to make sure what you hope is happening is true. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) All of a sudden you have to deal with dreary old practical matters. Food, shelter, stuff like that. You can do it if you concentrate. For help, go to a Pisces or Taurus. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You know how sometimes you get flustered and have trouble concentrating? That’s less likely to happen now. It’s also a good time to practice music, dig in the garden, and make decisions. Time CONTINUED FROM PAGE 6 device in hopes of heading back in time to avert his fiance’s death. This simple motivational change takes the theme of human innovation that the novel harps upon and molds it into a much less intelligent form — a very Hollywood addition. With this obvious flaw, the film progresses with the grace of a snail as it follows Hartdegen in his attempt to fix his past. When this fails, the oddly appeased professor then seeks knowledge from the future to answer the question of why the wrongs of the past cannot be fixed. It is on this quest that he travels to the sterile, cold steel future often envisioned on page and screen alike with sleek images and towering skyscrapers. It is here where he meets the out-of-place Orlando Jones (7Up’s former pitchman), as Vox, an ultramodern 21st-century card catalog — the information hologram for the New York Museum. Their foreshadowing conversation is just one of many plot points skimmed over in hope of better things, and it’s over quickly as Hartdegen rushes further into the future in hopes of finding out more. As we race through time alongside him, we witness the downfall of humankind as we know it and the subsequent rise, in A.D. 802,000, of tribes of people fighting for their lives against their superior enemies, the Morlocks. Now, it is up to Hartdegen to gain the trust of the people and attempt to rise against their hunters. It is a shame to see such a ridiculously crafted plot in any situation, but it’s even more so when it is a butchered version of a well-respected classic. To only cement this shoddy result, we find the obvious directing flaws of Wells, most likely in an attempt to do his great grandfather justice but, unfortunately, clouding a Fantastic adventure with an all too apparent lack of experience. With all the other choices in theaters now, viewers should be hard pressed to find any reasons to see this one. Comments on this story? E-mail gamecockmixeditorfa.hotmail.com Nickel Creek CONTINUED FROM PAGE 6 band began touring the blue grass festival circuit, and it has been doing so since. Watkins said that the band’s long history has been a key factor in stream lining its sound and developing its musical idiom. “The three of us are family,” she said. “We have the same in fluences, we all know each oth er, and our musical history is very common.” Nickel Creek’s music was so impressive that, when it came down to finding a producer for its debut album, it attracted Klauss, one of the biggest and best names in bluegrass music. It was an experience that Watkins described as, “Brilliant. She’s an incredible artist to work with. She’s perfect for us.” Watkins praised Krauss’ open minded approach to making mu sic and letting the band make the music that they wanted to make. Most music critics have found it hard not to compare Watkins’ vocals to Krauss’. “It’s a huge compliment, of course,” Watkins said. She also said that she thinks the comparisons were made because she and Krauss both had a similar “softer, more sneaky” vocal style that is un usual in today’s popular music. As for most bands, the live shows are where Nickel Creek’s waters shine brightest. Many music journalists have com mented on the band’s uncanny ability to bring a large, noisy crowd down to complete and to tal silence as they hang on every note. Watkins said that during a live show, they’re simply look ing for “a good time. W j want to share our music and our happi ness ... People enjoying what we play is a huge part of it.” The band is currently record ing a new album, which is due to hit stores in August. Watkins promises that the album will be more of what has come to be ex pected of the band and then some. With its amazing talent for combining a myriad of musical genres into a harmonious slice of musical heaven, Nickel Creek promises not only an exception al evening of music, but also great things to come. The sheer joy that can be heard in its mu sic is as infectious as the tunes themselves — they are not to be missed. Comments on this story?E-mail gamecockmixeditortghotmail. x>m
