They're all good but now I'm in the mood for some Bruce Willis style action, like Tears of the Sun.

I agree with that. But what's kinda sad is that most of the films you are refering to, in terms of Box Office Earnings, never got past 3rd, and that was most likely their release week (Except for CHicago, which is good).
I guess I'm just kinda mad because I thought Gangs of New York, which was well recieved by critics, was great, and I thought the casting of Leo, among other things, would have made it a top movie at the box office. But I guess no one wanted to see a film made by our best living director about a slice of American history we hardly know about, and would rather go see a stupid movie about a couple of guys who steal 25,000$, hit a Kangaroo....well, you know.
