New Action Movies?

[Jaggergirl]

Hey guys. I think it might be because its "Oscar Season" and most of the movies I'm seeing are very interesting, intelligent, well-done films. Which is great. But now I'm really in the mood for a good, rockin' action film.

So what are you guys seeing that's on the horizon? There are two that I'm specifically intersted in:

Basic . Okay, first of all its John Travolta and Sameul L. Jackson together in a movie again. So right away I'm interested. And the premise sounds really cool -- a seasoned leader takes his platoon into the jungle on a "routine training mission" and they disappear. But these guys are so good that they only disappear if they want to. So there's this whole conspiracy investigation behind it... I think it sounds awesome.

Plus, it has Taye Diggs and Harry Connick Jr in it. Yummy!

The other movie that I think looks good is Tears of the Sun. Is Bruce Willis making a comeback or what? This looks like some serious action -- and it feels pretty timely, what with everything that's going on in the Ivory Coast right now. I'm also excited to see Monica Bellucci in it. She's a huge Italian star and I'm hoping she can cross over into the American market. Did anyone else see her in Malena? I really enjoyed that movie.
