Your Love Horoscope for 18th to 24th July 2011

Fantasy fuels romance at the beginning of the week, causing practicalities to fly out the window. Afflictions to Moon in Aries mid-week can intensify irritability or impulsiveness. Friday is a great time for a spontaneous tryst, while the weekend favors a leisurely, sensual encounter because of Moon in Taurus. Best days for socializing: Any day this week except Wednesday and Thursday.
.

Aries Love Horoscope

Staying emotionally balanced will be difficult toward the middle of the week, when you’re likely to do or say something rash. On the upside, you might experience a breakthrough in a troubling emotional issue! During the weekend, taking a hint from Mother Nature by using natural scents, sounds and sheets will deepen passion!
.

Taurus Love Horoscope

Socializing can bring a romantic interlude at the start of the week. Taking some time to yourself mid-week can bring a surprising insight about your past and get you in touch with your intuition as well. The Moon in your sign this weekend makes you a magnet for admirers by firing up your sensuality. Enjoy!
.

Gemini Love Horoscope

Offering your expertise in a professional setting may bring a romantic encounter at the beginning of the week. Socializing can have an unpleasant outcome on Wednesday or Thursday, so choose your companions carefully. Creating a cozy ambiance and sharing your innermost thoughts and feelings will intensify intimacy during the weekend!
.

Cancer Love Horoscope

You’re especially expressive at the start of the week, so share your feelings in a heartfelt, poetic or humorous way to inspire/attract romance. A jarring encounter (at work?) is likely on Wednesday or Thursday. Socializing is energized this weekend, when a gathering of friends or a group project can bring a romantic interlude.
.

Leo Love Horoscope

Sharing your sensitive, poetic side will deepen intimacy at the start of the week.

.

Virgo Love Horoscope

A shared activity will bring satisfaction at the beginning of the week, but feeling vulnerable may cause you to erect an emotional wall shortly thereafter.

.

Libra Love Horoscope

A helpful act inspires love at the start of the week. Romance may be a bumpy ride mid-week, however, when your partner or close friend threatens to have a meltdown.

Sagittarius Love Horoscope

A romantic encounter may have unintended consequences toward the middle of the week, so be mindful of whom you spend time with.

.

Capricorn Love Horoscope

Verbalizing your feelings inspires love at the beginning of the week. Look for romance through an online source or while learning something new. Some stress at home can upset love mid-week. Your fun-loving side makes you irresistible during the weekend, when romance can be found at a party, club or concert.
.

Aquarius Love Horoscope

For good or bad, your desire to change things up mid-week may prompt you to say something shocking, which will likely have consequences. Other communications will be unpredictable too. Your home will be social-central this weekend, so why not create an artsy ambiance and throw a party for 10 or 100 of your closest friends?
.

Pisces Love Horoscope

Your mystique is irresistible at the start of the week, so put yourself out there and share who you are to inspire/attract romance!

"NokotaHeart" trailer - in UK Cinemas Friday 22nd July 2011 - the true story of Leo Kuntz, Vietnam vet turned North Dakota horse rancher

Uploaded by on Jan 14, 2010
CLIP 1 from the feature film biopic of Leo Kuntz, NOKOTAHEART.

NokotaHeart is the true story of Leo Kuntz, Vietnam vet turned North Dakota horse rancher and his fight to save the equine legacy of Sitting Bull.

Told in Leo's inimitable campfire tone this is a unfussy, straight-from-the-gut tale of personal woe and hard-won passion, a Neo-Western biopic of private tragedy and spiritual triumph, as much about the man himself and the spiritual imprint of the land on his person as it is about the legendary horses of the great Indian chief.

Leo's humbling nature and plaintive, maverick soul is a world removed from the new equine laws and State bills passed by U.S. government. In the cold, unyielding onslaught of the 21st Century his virtual 19th Century existence has been blindsided by punishing economic climes and a vanishing American frontier.

Intimate and raw, elegiac and ardent, NokotaHeart dares to tell it like it is, burnished heart in hardscrabble soil. Suffused through the prism of an Irish filmmaker thousands of miles from home in North Dakota it's no wonder this feels like W.B. Yeats meets Sam Shepard, Samuel Beckett meets John Ford.

NokotaHeart is also scored by award winning composer Patrick O'Hearn.

~ North Dakota. Present day.
Haunted prairies and shimmering badlands.
Ghost towns and grazing buffalo.
Lakota, Sioux, Chippewa. This is Indian country.
Buried under Wal-Mart and strip malls.
Leo Kuntz, Vietnam vet turned horse rancher, feels the quiet storm of change.
He has fought to preserve the legendary lineage of Sitting Bull's Nokota horses for decades.
It has impacted his life, his loves, the very beating heart and soul of him.
But the 21st Century is upon us now.
America's frontier is vanishing hard and fast.
So too are the old ways, horse people and horse cultures.
In the face of such stark transition Leo Kuntz may be the last of his kind.
His fight to save the equine legacy of the Greatest American Indian of them all is running out of time.
This may be the last American Western.
NokotaHeart is his story. ~

Nick Hendricks (Jason Bateman), Dale Arbus (Charlie Day), and Kurt Buckman (Jason Sudeikis) are friends who despise their bosses. Nick works at a financial firm for Dave Harken (Kevin Spacey), who abuses Nick constantly. Nick puts up with it in hopes of a promotion, but Harken instead gives the job to himself. Dale is a dental assistant to Dr. Julia Harris (Jennifer Aniston), who wants to have sex with Dale, who is engaged to Stacy (Lindsay Sloane). Julia constantly sexually harasses Dale, even forcing him to look at her while she wears only a lab coat and panties in the office. Kurt enjoys his job working at an industrial company for Jack Pellitt (Donald Sutherland), who treats Kurt like a son, but Jack dies of a heart attack one day, leaving his biological, cocaine-addicted son Bobby (Colin Farrell) in charge. Bobby threatens to run the company into the ground by having the overweight and handicapped employees fired along with doing cocaine and having prostitutes in his office.
.
One night over drinks, Kurt suggests their lives would be happier if their bosses weren't alive, but Dale says it's a silly idea to kill their bosses. However, the next day, Julia invites Stacy for a free dental checkup and while she is unconscious, Julia threatens to show Stacy photos of what looks like Dale having sex with Julia, taken while he was unconscious. That night, Dale finally agrees to help kill their bosses and Nick reluctantly does the same. They go into a bar and meet Dean "Motherfucker" Jones (Jamie Foxx), a paroled ex-con who will only agree to be a murder consultant. Jones suggests that the three stage murders that look like accidents and that they do each others' bosses so as to not be traced.
.
The three first do reconnaissance at Pellitt's house. Kurt goes into his bathroom and rubs Pellitt's toiletries on his anus before taking his cell phone off the nightstand. Nick and Dale find his cocaine stash in the living room but accidentally spill it on the carpet. The three then go to Harken's house where Dale waits in the car with a peanut butter sandwich. Dale then throws his sandwich bag out the window where Harken, returning from a jog, picks it up and berates Dale for littering. Harken then suffers an attack due to his peanut allergy, but Dale manages to revive him. Nick and Kurt, watching through the window, think Dale is stabbing Harken to death and flee the house, with Kurt accidentally dropping Pellitt's phone under the bed. Dale catches up with Nick and Kurt and tells them what happened. Nick and Kurt decide they can use Harken's peanut allergy to poison him while he's taking a shower and also spike Pellitt's cocaine with rat poison.
.
The next night, while Kurt goes to do reconnaissance at Julia's, Nick and Dale wait outside of Pellitt's and Harken's houses, respectively, waiting for an opportunity. Harken, who suspects his wife Rhonda of cheating on him, finds Pellitt's cell phone. Believing Pellitt to be having an affair with Rhonda, he leaves the house, giving Dale an opportunity to go in. Dale however can't bring himself to kill somebody and calls Nick, who feels the same way. Harken, however, shows up at Pellitt's house and shoots him twice, killing him. Nick decides to flee, setting off a nearby traffic camera in the process. They are confronted by the police, who want to bring them in for questioning.
.
Nick explains to the detectives that he was drag racing through the light as an explanation for his speeding nearby Pellitt's house. The detectives don't believe them as Kurt is one of Pellitt's employees, but Dale points out that since they are not under arrest, they can't be held onto without a warrant and are let go. However, the detectives point out that they will check Pellitt's house for DNA, and Kurt remembers that he rubbed the toiletries on his anus and will be implicated with Pellitt's murder as a result. The three consult Jones again, but leave when they learn that Jones was only convicted of copyright infringement for recording a film in a theater, and has never actually killed anyone before. They decide that they will need to get Harken to confess to killing Pellitt to clear themselves.
.
The three crash a surprise birthday party for Harken, where Nick and Dale talk to Harken while Kurt, who has the audio recorder, has sex with Rhonda. Harken openly confesses to killing Pellitt because he is about to kill them as well. As Harken goes for his gun, Nick and Dale escape with Kurt. Harken chases them so Kurt asks his navigation system operator to get him out of trouble. However, the operator shuts down his engine believing he had committed a crime. Harken catches up with them and tells them he will pin Pellitt's murder on them when the police arrive, even going so far as to deliberately wound himself to implicate them. However, the operator in the car had recorded their conversation right before the police arrived. Hearing the confession, the police arrest Harken and the trio manage to use their testimony to bargain getting their lesser charges waived.

"Gilda" trailer - in UK Cinemas Friday 22nd July 2011 - Starring: Rita Hayworth, Glenn Ford, George Macready, Joseph Calleia, Steven Geray

Uploaded by on Aug 24, 2009
Re-release tariler for the steamy 1946 film noir classic, GILDA, starring Rita Hayworth, Glenn Ford and George Macready. Universally dismissed by the critics at the time of its initial release, GILDA did solid box-office ($3.8 million) and has become recarding as one of the iconic films in the film noir genre. The screen just doesn't get much hotter than Hayworth's famous "Put the Blame on mame" number. 

Gilda

Plot

The film's plot is continually narrated by Johnny Farrell (Glenn Ford), a small-time American gambler newly arrived in Buenos Aires, Argentina, who has a love-hate relationship with his former lover, Gilda (Rita Hayworth). When he wins a lot of money cheating at craps, he has to be rescued from a robbery attempt by a complete stranger, Ballin Mundson (George Macready). Mundson tells him about an illegal high-class casino, but warns him not to practice his skills there. Farrell ignores his advice, cheats at blackjack, and is taken by two men to see the casino's owner, who turns out to be Mundson. Farrell talks Mundson into hiring him and quickly gains his confidence. However, the unimpressed washroom attendant, Uncle Pio (Steven Geray), keeps calling him "peasant".
.
One day, Mundson returns from a trip with a beautiful new wife, who is none other than Gilda. Unaware that she was once Farrell’s lover, Mundson assigns Farrell to keep an eye on her. Farrell keeps track of her, his loathing for her intensifying as she cavorts with men at all hours.
Meanwhile, Mundson is visited by two German businessmen. Their secret organization had financed a tungsten cartel, with everything put in Mundson's name to hide their connection to it. However, when they decide it is safe to take over, Mundson refuses to transfer ownership to his backers. The Argentine secret police are interested in the Germans; government agent Obregon (Joseph Calleia) introduces himself to Farrell to try to obtain information, but the American knows nothing about that aspect of Mundsen's operations. When the Germans return later, Mundson shoots and kills one of them.
.
That same night, at Mundson's house, Farrell and Gilda describe how much they hate each other, then end up kissing. Mundson arrives at that moment, then flees to a waiting airplane. Farrell and Obregon witness its short flight; the plane explodes shortly after takeoff and plummets into the ocean. However, Mundson has parachuted to safety, thus faking his death.
.
With Mundson apparently dead, Gilda inherits his estate. Farrell marries her, but not out of love. He stays away, but has her guarded day and night out of contempt for her and loyalty to Mundson. Gilda tries to escape the tortured love-hate relationship, but fails. Finally, Obregon tells Farrell that Gilda was never truly unfaithful to Mundson or to him, prompting Farrell to try to reconcile with her.
.
At that moment, Mundson reappears, armed with a gun. He faked his death to deceive the Nazis. Mundson tells them he will have to kill them both, but Uncle Pio manages to fatally stab him in the back. Obregon shows up and confiscates the estate for the government. Farrell and Gilda are free to leave the country

From writer/director Mike Mills comes a comedy/drama about how deeply funny and transformative life can be, even at its most serious moments. "Beginners" imaginatively explores the hilarity, confusion, and surprises of love through the evolving consciousness of Oliver (Golden Globe Award nominee Ewan McGregor). Oliver meets the irreverent and unpredictable Anna (Mélanie Laurent of "Inglourious Basterds") only months after his father Hal (Academy Award nominee Christopher Plummer) has passed away. This new love floods Oliver with memories of his father who -- following 44 years of marriage -- came out of the closet at age 75 to live a full, energized, and wonderfully tumultuous gay life. The upheavals of Hal's new honesty, by turns funny and moving, brought father and son closer than they'd ever been able to be. Now Oliver endeavors to love Anna with all the bravery, humor, and hope that his father taught him.

Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Paul Stephenson has resigned following the phone hacking scandal.

Britain's most senior police officer said he had no knowledge of the extent of the practice and his integrity was "completely intact".

Sir Paul has faced criticism for hiring former News of the World executive Neil Wallis - who was questioned by police investigating hacking - as an adviser.

He said his links to the journalist could hamper current investigations.

Sir Paul said in a statement: "I have taken this decision as a consequence of the ongoing speculation and accusations relating to the Met's links with News International at a senior level and in particular in relation to Mr Neil Wallis."

He added: "Let me state clearly, I and the people who know me know that my integrity is completely intact.

"I may wish we had done some things differently, but I will not lose sleep over my personal integrity."

Thanks to the BBC.
