HOROSCOPES
ARIES Pull in the reins; it’s
time to get practical. 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.
VIRGO New possibilities are
opening up for love,
adventure and new friends—
though all the details
haven’t been completely
settled yet.
LIBRA You should be pretty
efficient now. There should be
time to add a little pizzazz to
your household decor.
SCORPIO A recent mystery
will soon be revealed. You can
learn a lot by just asking some
questions.
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.

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.

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.

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.

Boy.” He manages to turn what
could have been biting social
commentary on the commercial
control of children’s
entertainment into a half hour
of drivel. 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.”
