If bad-ass women are your thing then it’s a good weekend to go to the movies with mixed martial artist Gina Carano beating the boys in Haywire and Kate Beckinsale reprising her role as the latex-clad vampire Selene in Underworld: Awakening.

Former American Gladiator costar Carano makes her acting debut in director Steven Soderbergh’s (Contagion, Erin Brockovich, Traffic) kinetic action flick Haywire. Carano plays Mallory Kane, a black ops soldier who’s looking for payback after she’s set up for a murder. A host of heavy-hitting actors including this year’s “It” boy Michael Fassbender, Ewan McGregor, Michael Douglas, Antonio Banderas and Channing Tatum costar, but let’s face it – this movie is all about Carano kicking ass!

The fourth installment in the Underworld franchise, Beckinsale as a vampire who does battle with lycans (werewolves), among other creatures, may have helped sparked the vampire craze of the mid to late 2000’s that includes True Blood, Twilight, The Vampire Diaries etc… This time around humans conspire to wipe out vampire and lycan clans. It’s not high art, but again, let’s face it – Underworld: Awakening is all about Beckinsale wearing latex and kicking ass.
