First movie recommendation: Elephant White.
A smart action film about an assassin for hire who ends up going to war with a sex-slave ring.  Kevin Bacon is thankfully absent for much of the film.  He's in a supporting role.  The trailers would lead you to believe that it's about him, because hollywood thinks you're an idiot.  The lead role is actually played by Djimon Hounsou, who is very good.

If you like something like the Borne Identity, where a highly-skilled hitter takes apart a bunch of mid-level hoods, you will like the action in this movie.

Is this about new movies only? If not, I think The Usual Suspects is a pretty good example of a face scoring a critical success on a Con check.
Or of a very devious and skilled, invisible Mr. Johnson.

But I'm guessing everyone's seen it already.

I always liked Brotherhood of the Wolf.

It's a strange mashup of mystery, monsters, and high sction fight scenes.
If you can stand subtitles (there's no dub that I know of) and enjoy any of those things mentioned, you should like it.

Yes - Excellent movie.

Admittedly, my my action movie standard is Lethal Weapon I and Die Hard I.  - Yippee ki yay .....!

Renaissance--- I was pretty excited about this movie when I seen the trailer.  Sin City, but that is exactly the type of campaign i want with shadowrun!

Trancers. 

No particular reason, I just really like it.  In all of it's cheesy glory.

Excellent!  Doll Man vs Puppet Master 2?

New Puppet Masters (Nazis are back, and working with the Japanese this time!), but no Dollman yet.

But they got a lot of the old actors, and I'm sure there'll be more familiar faces as well as time goes by.  So far, they're ultra-cheesy, however.  Like "Evil Bong" (Starring Tommy Chong!) and "The Ginger-Dead Man" (whose RL basis is Gary Busey!)

Haha stay classy Full Moon.  Just as entertaining as most 'real' movies at a fraction of the cost!

Best news yet just came out of them, actually:  They signed a deal with Wal-Mart.  Yep, you can now easily get Full Moon movies without having to order direct from them!   ;D

I might pick up Gingerdead Man just to see about stealing ideas for Toxic Spirits of Man...
