For action, try this:
THE TRANSPORTER
This is a Franco/Asian production and Luc Besson is ( I believe) an executive producer. It stars Jason Statham ( who the heck is he ?) as an ultra-cool ex-military enigmatic fellow who hires himself out as a transporter of various, sometimes questionable goods. But after he breaks one of his own rules ( never ask questions) he gets involved with an Asian cutie who's involved with international slave traders. Story a bit weak overall, but this one is pure popcorn. Lots of car chases, explosions, and quite a bit of martail arts. Statham looks a bit like Bruce Willis. The difference is, Willis can act. But Statham has the moves and that seems to all that's necessary for this flick. A good rental if you just want to sit and rest the brain.
For romance, try :
MAID IN MANHATTAN
This is pure Girl meets boy, girl loses boy, girl gets boy formula. It stars Jennifer Lopez and Ralph Fiennes. Jen is a maid who is encouraged to try on an expensive outfit belonging to a hotel guest ( Natasha Richardson) who meets Fiennes ( a rich political candidate for Senator) and he thinks she is something she ain't. Natasha Richardson is the antagonist who causes the truth to be known and... well you get the drift. This is not normally my kind of moviefare, but wifey wanted to see it so I went for the rental. It could have been worse with actors other than J-Lo and Fiennes. But the best of them all is Natasha Richardson who really shines as a rich-bitch trying to recover from a romance break-up. This girl has true comedic skills and she made the film well worth my time.
