THE LEGEND OF ZORRO Director Martin Campbell's 1998 hit The Mask of Zorro, which generated over $22 million in box offices and $42 million in rentals, bedazzled crowds with Antonio Banderas' stylish action sequences and witty comments. Zorro attempts to revive the vigor that crowds once had for the original, but the creators of this film forgot that we've already seen it all. Zorro should theoretically be more action-packed and yet family-aimed than its predecessor, but unfortunately it fell short. A budget of over 80 million dollars was devoted to Zorro, directed by Martin Campbell. Martin Campbell is a veteran at reviving old concepts. But the Zorro from 1998 was stylish and risqué. The new Zorro has a 10-year- old son. How thrilling and exciting can an action film be when there is a child in the equation? This film is set in the mid 1800's. For the past decade, Zorro has been fighting to get California admitted into the Union. Back in his day, Zorro used to fight evil all too often, not having to worry about yield- ing to others. The problem is that he's get- ting old and has a family to take care of. Catherine Zeta Jones returns to play his wife Elena, who is frustrated with Zorro's lack of commitment to his family. With a K. Matsumoto/The Phillipian 10 year old son aboard, he can't be fighting Members of the class of 2008 rock out at the first annual Ryley Rock Fest. crime all the time.

Immortal Technique is Conservative Christian America's worst nightmare. He's aggressively liberal, incomparably explic- it, totally honest, and utterly fearless. He spits passionate, venomous rhymes and vigorously stabs at the corrupt political and social world that surrounds him. Revolutionary Vol. 2 is the second part of a currently unfinished trilogy. Written and recorded half a decade after ’s incarceration in a New York prison, the album brims with disgust, hatred, and anger. This anger is not without foundation. Immortal Technique, who, according to his biography, came to the United States in the eighties when a civil war broke out in his homeland of , has certainly done his homework. He provides us with an endless supply of little nuggets of conspir- acy that Big Brother will never tell you; such as Haliburton's business interest in Afghanistan, the media's connection to the K.
