HOROSCOPES
Because the stars know things we don't.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Today is an 8
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Today is an 8
Mercury enters Taurus, and for
about two weeks, get practical
and profitable. Avoid snap
judgments and assumptions;
all isn't as it appears. Postpone
meetings for a few days to formulate the message and plan.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) Today is a 9
Don't bother to argue. Stay respectful. Postpone travel for a few days. You're even more practical for the next few weeks, although prioritizing a big opportunity over mundane chores makes sense. Spread enthusiasm.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Today is a 9.
Hold your horses and study the situation. Stick to your budget. Check the exact wording. Clear up old messes these next few weeks. Assert leadership, and don't get rattled by disagreement. It brings freedom.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Today is an 8
You work effectively with groups. Accept a challenge. Financial planning scores today and tomorrow. Upgrade equipment without spending a lot; get creative and barter, or join forces to get funding.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Today is a 9
Take on more responsibility. Don't get intimidated. Praise everyone's results, favor negotiations and compromise. Go slowly to avoid mistakes. Talk about love more than money.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Today is a 9
Reschedule a meeting so you can be home with the kids. Improve your living conditions. Change doesn't happen all at once. The details are important so get involved. Double-check data, and stay cool.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Today is an 8
Stay objective about a hot topic and avoid gossip. Lay low, get into your work, and make an amazing discovery, which can remain private. You have great emotional support. Call the bank. Discard junk.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Today is a 7
Listen carefully. Stay out of someone else's argument, but remember who says what. Enforce household rules. Settle up. There's an unexpected bonus. This makes waste.
Haste makes waste.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Today is an 8
Work requires more of your attention. Accept constructive criticism; if you can't be nice, be quiet. There's a good suggestion in there somewhere. Keep harmony alive, and it could even get romantic. Add flowers.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Today is a 9
Consider an interesting suggestion. Costs are higher than expected, and tempers short. You're entering a two-day business phase. Play that ace you've been holding. For two weeks, it's easier to express your love.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Today is an 8
Keep faith and ask questions later. Travel is complicated; adjust your schedule. Decide what role to play. Take leadership. Resolve a family issue. It's easy at home.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Today is a 9

excess HOLLYWOOD review
McConaughey makes 'Mud' worth rolling in
In the six years since the release of his debut "Shotgun Stories," Jeff Nichols has been quietly establishing himself as one of the most exciting new voices in independent film, a writer-director with a refreshingly un-ironic affection for life in rural America and a gift for harnessing atmosphere as an active participant in his work. His "Take Shelter" was an uneasy meditation on mental illness and the possibilities of extrasensory perception wrapped in the guise of a horror film about a construction worker (Michael Shannon) who becomes dangerously obsessed with protecting his family after he starts experiencing apocalyptic visions.
Neckbone, having been raised by a reality-challenged uncle (Michael Shannon again), is immediately suspicious of the pistol-packing stranger who tells
"Mud," Nichols' third and most successful outing to date, centers on Ellis (Tye Sheridan), a 14-year-old fisherman's son stranded in the awkward throes of adolescence and still reeling from the news of his parents' impending divorce. One day, while exploring one of the many islands of the Arkansas delta, he and his best friend Neckbone (Jacob Lofland) encounter a fantastic sight courtesy of the last major flood; a boat, seemingly abandoned, stranded at the top of a tree. The boys claim the vessel as their new clubhouse before discovering it's already occupied by Mud (Matthew McConaughey), a friendly, superstitious drifter who claims to be waiting on his one true love, the wonderfully named Juniper (Reese Witherspoon).
them he wears crosses on his boots to ward off evil spirits. Ellis, on the other hand, completely buys into the rugged romanticism Mud represents and soon finds himself sneaking food to the lovelorn vagrant in exchange for more stories about Juniper, whom he gradually comes to idealize.
Eventually the real, deeply imperfect Juniper appears at a local motel, hounded by state troopers and a posse of bounty hunters led by the vengeful Carver (Paul Sparks). As it turns out, Mud is a fugitive wanted for the murder of one of Juniper's many abusive ex-boyfriends, and the rest of the movie deals with Ellis and Neckbone's efforts to help the couple escape.
McConaughey, continuing the remarkable career resurgence that began with "The Lincoln Lawyer" in 2011, radiates the kind of manic self-assurance you'd expect a man like Mud to possess, rattling off factually dubious anecdotes about lucky T-shirts and deadly snakebites while constantly insisting that Ellis's grizzled, solitary neighbor (the great Sam Shepherd) is actually a trained CIA assassin. It's obvious that McConaughey took the time to establish a genuine rapport with his young co-stars, as their
performances seem more focused and natural when he's around.
Sheridan, who brought an inestimable amount of soulful intensity to a mostly nonspeaking role as one of Brad Pitt's sons in "The Tree of Life," makes the most of his first major role here, showing how Ellis's naiveté can be both a blessing and a curse. The scene where he attempts to defend the honor of a high school girl is simultaneously hilarious and heartbreaking in its sincerity. Newcomer Lofland gives an equally effective performance as the sarcastic yet stalwart Neckbone, while Shannon, Nichols' friend and constant collaborator, is uncharacteristically hilarious as the uncle whod prefer to be thought of as a goofty older brother.
At first blush, "Mud" appears to be little more than a warmly observed coming-of-age drama set among the sweat and silt of the Arkansas bayou. As Nichols' film unfolds, however, it becomes increasingly clear that what we're watching is also meant to function as an elegiac tribute to the Mississippi River and the culture that has sprung from her muddy banks; a flashbulb evocation of a way of life that's slowly vanishing in the face of crushing poverty and land development deals. It is a sight that demands to be seen and cherished now, before its history washes clean.
