Coming Soon: 'Columbiana' - New Action Thriller

Even if you have never watched a scene from the cinematic blockbuster 'Avatar', there is no way that you haven't enjoyed the energetic acting of Zoe Saldana in at least on the other high grossing movies she has starred in (e.g. the newest edition to the 'Star Trek' franchise, 'The Losers', or 'Takers').  She has proven time and again that she has the superb performance talent and physical agility that just may catapult her on the way to becoming this generation's next female action super star.

This time Saldana is headlining the title role in the new action thriller 'Columbiana'.  The plot centers around a young woman who witnesses the horrific murder of her parents when she is only a small child.   The shock from the brutal experience draws her into a life as a highly skilled female assassin who is ultimately seeking to avenge her parents' deaths.

'Columbia' co-stars Micharel Vartan (TV's 'Hawthorne' and 'Alias') as the love interest for Saldana's character Cataleya Restrepo.  The action drama was directed by Olivier Megaton and is scheduled for release on August 26th.

'Hawthorne': a new kind of romance

a few days ago, while attending one of those lovely holiday bbq's - amazingly, the hosts seemed to be serving everything but bbq - oh, well - someone started up a conversation about the return of a new drama on TNT - "Hawthorne" - starring one of our fav media darlings. as soon as i found out about the leading lady's love interests (yes, there are two fine men who are absolutely smitten with our lady), my ears immediately perked up. i have no doubts that jada gives a commanding performance on the show but it was the blended romance that caught my attention. it makes me beyond ecstatic when big media outlets are not afraid to step outside of the box when it comes to casting lead and title roles. love should always be colorblind. my only complaint (which has nothing to do with the show itself) is that i had to scour too many clips to find one that featured our leading couple in an intimate moment. i understand that the whole show doesn't hang on their love affair alone but - seriously - i'm sure that i am not the only person who FF's the video on demand player just to catch a glimpse of old and new flames getting all doe-eyed and cutesy faced :)
