AGC Gossip
The Mask of Zorro
Antonio Banderas and Anthony Hokins are very enjoyable in this adventure yarn
about the adventures of Zorro. It also helps that Catherine Zeta Jones is the
leading lady. If you just want something entertaining and not very taxing, this
is the flick to pick, since it pushes all the right buttons as Banderas plays
the heir to Hopkin's Zorro.
