HOROSCOPE

comics

Wednesday, August 5, 2009 In the year ahead, two unique partnership arrangements might be offered that you’ll want to take advantage of. Because they aren’t likely to interfere with each other, you might be able to handle both. Don’t be too quick to settle for only one.

ARLO & JANIS

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- There is a strong possibility that you might have to make some concessions in order to placate an important associate. Sometimes being cooperative isn’t easy -- but it is smart.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Regardless of how tired, bored or disinterested you are, don’t get off on the wrong foot with your superiors. A failure to do what’s expected of you is likely to cause you some big problems.

THE GRIZZWELLS

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Rather than subject yourself to an arrogant, annoying acquaintance who makes you feel uncomfortable, don’t go anywhere near this person. He or she is apt to be in rare form and more annoying than usual.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Having all chiefs in the household is likely to make for a disruptive day. Set an example of bending your will a bit, and it will encourage others to do the same.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- When challenging the views or opinions of others, be cognizant of the fact that they are likely to respond in ways that expose your vulnerably as well. You’ll get back what you give.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- When shopping today, if a salesperson should try to pressure you into buying something you don’t want, there is no need to be polite. The quicker you walk away, the better.

HERMAN

KIT ‘N’ CARLYLE

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- It’s important to be realistic when evaluating your competition if you have any hopes of survival. Your opposition is likely to save his or her best for last, so be prepared.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Difficulties might arise when an associate tries to palm off a distasteful job that no one wants to do. Unless you’re prepared, you won’t be able to fend him or her off that easily.

Be ready.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- If you are subjected to the company of people you don’t like, chances are it’ll be your own fault. Busy yourself in activities that others wouldn’t dare interrupt. You won’t miss a thing.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Don’t use cannons to oppose another when a popgun will suffice. Coming on more forcefully than that which is necessary would invite an overwhelming, angry response.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- It is never a good day to discuss religion, politics or other volatile subjects when it is uncalled for, so hold fire should another whose views are in direct opposition to yours say something provocative.

SOUP TO NUTZ

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Be careful with regard to financial matters because things could take a peculiar twist. In an arrangement where you are expecting something from another, you could end up being the giver instead.

SOFA CINEMA The movies selected for review are the choice of the reviewer. Suggestions for DVD titles are welcome. Enjoy the movies.

“Gran Torino” should not be confused with Eastwood’s Dirty Harry persona. There is violence because Walt lives in a violent neighborhood but far more important is the understanding and friendship that unfolds as Walt sips beer on his front porch.

NEW RELEASE “Gran Torino,” rated R

READER RECOMMENDATION/CLASSIC Walt Kowalski makes Archie Bunker sound like Mother Teresa. “Gran Torino” is directed by Clint Eastwood and he uses his best skinnyeyed stare and racist insults to define his role as Walt, a SOFA CINEMA retired Korean War vet.

Rebecca Redshaw A widower who refuses to move out of the old neighborhood, he does his best to torment the Hmong neighbors that look different than he does and speak a different language (or English with a thick accent).

In Walt’s garage is a cherry Gran Torino that the local gang has dared Thao, Walt’s Asian neighbor, to heist against his will.

Unsuccessful in his attempt, Walt decides to make the young boy work off the damage costs and an unlikely relationship develops.

As a director, Eastwood has perfected the editing process.

Supporting roles by the Hmong family are flushed out without the necessity of dialogue and the parish priest (played by a rosy-cheeked Christopher Carley) struggles with establishing a relationship with the irascible senior citizen.

“A Face in the Crowd” 1957, unrated, B&W Technology may have changed dramatically since “A Face in the Crowd” was released in 1957, but human nature is still the same.

Marcia Jeffries (Patricia Neal) creates her own version of “man on the street” radio interviews, talking to colorful locals live on air. She struck ratings gold when a jailed drifter grabbed his guitar and agreed to sing on air with the promise of early release from the slammer. Jeffries tags the colorful, self-proclaimed “country boy,” Lonesome Rhodes (Andy Griffith) and the show quickly becomes a nationwide success.

How Lonesome handles his fame and power and how Marcia handles him is a study in human behavior that is timeless. Elia Kazan directed “A Face in the Crowd” and writer Budd Schulberg was given a screenwriter credit above the title, which indicates how important his words were, and are, to the movie.

Griffith is mesmerizing in his film debut and Neal is nothing short of brilliant as his beleaguered mentor.

Since its release 50 years ago, “A Face in the Crowd” is eerily on target in demonstrating the manipulative powers of the media and the people who are in control.

FOREIGN “Live and Become,” unrated Sub-titled Based on the 1980’s exodus of Ethiopian Jews to Israel, “Live and Become” focuses on Schlomo, a young boy who must live a lie to survive. Fearing that her young Christian son will die if left in a refugee camp in Africa, his mother gives the boy to a Jewish woman whose son has just died. The “new” Schlomo is bright and memorizes his fictitious family genealogy in order to “pass” in this strange land.

Adopted by an Israeli family, Schlomo encounters racial bigotry and religious challenges all the while longing for his mother in Africa.

“Live and Become” is almost two and a half hours long chronicling the boy’s transitions into manhood, his education in France and his first love relationship, with an adoring, white classmate. Her father is anything but pleased about the racially mixed couple and questions Schlomo’s Jewish heritage.

The value of a good editor is clearly apparent in that “Live and Become” is overly long. The actors playing Schlomo as a child, Moshe Abebe, and as a young man, Sirak M. Sabahat, give commendable performances portraying frustration, loneliness and fear in a land far from the home they love.

HOROSCOPE

Wednesday, April 1, 2009 There are likely to be much needed improvements in your financial base in the year ahead, but they just won’t happen on their own. It will take effort and hard work to pull them off; don’t expect any kind of serendipitous occurrences.

ARLO & JANIS

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Something that has gone unresolved might finally catch up with you, bringing a penalty. Trying to come up with excuses or shifting the blame won’t help.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Keep your sensitivities under control, and don’t read any ill will into what others have to say where no harm was intended. You’ll be held responsible for creating an extremely unpleasant situation.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- There’s a strong possibility that you could take an unwise risk with regard to your career or finances. Keep a lid on a tendency to take a long shot on a getrich-quick scheme.

THE GRIZZWELLS

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Use caution when challenging the views of associates, about which they feel strongly. Think about how you would feel if others picked apart your beliefs.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- It might be your turn to be saddled with a work assignment that everyone has tried to avoid. Complaining about it will only make you look indifferent to what your co-workers have endured.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Someone within your peer group might try to play politics and attempt to make you the pawn, so keep your guard up. You’ll have to be on your toes, because he or she is a skilled manipulator.

HERMAN

KIT ‘N’ CARLYLE

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Should a development over which you have no control delay you from achieving a personal objective, don’t let it disrupt your day or squelch your good nature.

Wait for calmer seas.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- A rumble could result if you act in a manner that makes another think you believe your ways are superior to his or her methods. Realize that neither is perfect and that each has their good points.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- It’s important to be extremely alert and on your toes when it comes to negotiations that involve money. If you are indifferent or careless, you will be the one who suffers the loss.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Don’t take anything for granted when negotiating an agreement, and make sure that the other party is leveling with you. Before signing anything, take the time to check things out.

SOUP TO NUTZ

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Instead of helping ease your problems, well-intentioned coworkers could create more ills if you don’t first screen their suggestions before applying them.

You need help, not more trouble.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Being justified for reacting harshly to a sticky social situation won’t do your image any good. In fact, it could do more harm than help. Bite the bullet, and don’t make any needless waves.
