On three hours of sleep last night, this is what I have for you:
Raiders of the Source Material on Sloganeering.org.
Zoe Saldana Talks To io9 About Star Trek And Avatar. Here's the bit that got me:
io9: Tell me about being a one of the few women on the Enterprise?
Saldana: I think it's awesome. To be on the Enterprise with all these guys, the message speaks loudly. She's a female, she's of high rank and she has her shit together. And never is it ever about, or was it ever about her female presence. It was pretty great. I loved being the only girl.
Yes, yes it does speak loudly. I just don't think it says what Saldana thinks it says.
I don't always agree with Elisabeth Rappe on Cinematical, but I'm glad she's writing there. Latest: Re-Raiding the Tomb, No Actress Yet for 'Witchblade' -- But We've Got the Teaser Poster. Monika Barytzel also posted pics from Street Fighter. (Ohmygosh, three posts actually written by women about women in action movies on a mainstream movie blog? I'm obviously dreaming.)

Danger Gal Maybes. We'll See. by Lisa Paitz Spindler.
Coming soon to a theater near you: Immortal Kickboxer by Bao Phi, posted on Racialicious.
I'm sure there have been some carnivals and stuff. Maybe next week I will find them.

Latest: Re-Raiding the Tomb
No Actress Yet for 'Witchblade' -- But We've Got the Teaser Poster.
I thought Yancy Butler was fine in the Witchblade series; why not stick with her?
In the comics, I preferred the Witchblade/Tomb Raider crosses to Witchblade alone; it would be kinda nice to a film to that effect as well.
Thanks for the linkage!
I too liked Yancy Butler in Witchblade, but I think she's been having some personal issues of late. The last photo of her was from the NY Comic Fair and she looked anorexic, or at the very least in ill health.
Butler has reportedly struggled with alcoholism, at least. It disrupted the filming of the television show at least once.
