The first movie ends when Neo realizes he is the One, and that means in the Matrix, he is an un stoppable messianic superhero. “The Matrix Reloaded,” though, deprives Neo of his invincibility in order to create suspense sur rounding the cut that Neo re ceives in a weapons fight. The second movie does provide a great many plot twists and turns — and, of course, the final reve lation of the Matrix cycle, as elab orated by acclaimed director Helmut Bakaitus as “the Architect.” The third film, there fore, is simply the ultimate con clusion to every premise from the second movie. And here, the prob lem is merely the simplicity of the movie and the uncertainty of its denouement. Despite their detractions, the movies still have high entertain ment value. They contain never before-seen action sequences, in cluding the “burly brawl,” in which Neo faces 100 Agent Smiths. Ultimately, the success of a great trilogy depends on both the individual movies as well as the collection. Those series that re main consistent and retain their quality are the ones that make it to that coveted third movie.

Cook up a couple of treats that you can bring out at a moment’s notice. TAURUS The more you do, the more you learn, and the more expert you become. Choose a topic that interests you, and settle in for a while. GEMINI Continue to accrue as much as you can, and don’t feel guilty. You ought to be a wealthy person. You’ll do a lot of good with what you earn. CANCER Let somebody who loves you teach you a lesson you’ll love to learn. This will be fun, but it’s going to require you to juggle your schedule. LEO Something you’ve got stashed away in the attic may finally be back in style. Better dig through all those treasures again and bring the best back into play. VIRGO A team effort may be required to achieve the desired objective. Don’t hesitate to ask your friends. They thought you never would. They’ve been waiting. LIBRA There’s a direct correlation between creative work and cash right now. So for heaven’s sake, start whatever great project you’d like to take on. SCORPIO Don’t procrastinate any longer. The moment to decide is here. Do it so that you can get on with your life. You’ll get further if you begin now. SAGITTARIUS You still need a few things in order to complete your plans. Don’t wait until tomorrow. By then, you’ll want to do something else. Shop! CAPRICORN Consult with your partner about what you want, what you need and what you can afford. Tomorrow looks good for a shopping trip, but money may still be tight. AQUARIUS This is not a good time to resist authority. You’re better off doing your best to provide excellent service. PISCES Don’t get into an argument about philosophy. The other person won’t be convinced if you’re angry. Be forceful instead.
