Since James Horner made a few fans -- about 24 million -- with his Titanic score, they may be interested in hearing him do something good. A merrily conscious throwback to adventure soundtracks of the 1950s, the score to the Antonio Banderas swashbuckler mixes over-the-top flamenco cliches -- castanets, stomping feet, high trumpets -- with swirling orchestral arrangements (''The Ride''), Japanese flutes (''The Confession''), wolf howls (everywhere). The whole ball of wax, really, and damned if it isn't Horner's most inspired work in ages.
