How marvelous--I love a good WWII film and it seems like
there are two headed my way :)
Ah, yes, I forgot Zorro. That might be fun :) What I really
like in a film is well-made fluff with plenty of zip. This is
why I am a sucker for Jackie Chan films :) Hollywood, alas,
turns up much fluff that is poorly made with limited zip ...
Cheers,
Carl
