The 10 Must-See Movies This Weekend
This weekend, Kate Beckinsale returns to Underworld, the franchise that made her a household name in households that watch bad movies. Wearing a head-to-toe leather outfit which she presumably has to be sewn into between takes, Beckinsale will presumably shoots lots of guns in slow motion and will do a reasonable imitation of karate kicks before letting the stunt double handle the tough stuff. Allow me to propose an equally badass bit of counter-programming: A film which stars a woman who could legitimately punch your nose through your skull.

The men of 'Haywire' talk facing off against 'intimidating' Gina Carano -- EXCLUSIVE VIDEO
It takes a certain kind of guy to go up against Gina Carano. A very brave guy who is willing to accept the fact that he’ll more than likely have his ass handed to him by her, to be exact.

Watch Channing Tatum get his ass kicked in the first five minutes of 'Haywire' -- VIDEO
As much as director Steven Soderbergh loves working with great actors, it is fair to say he didn’t book Gina Carano for his new action-thriller Haywire because of her ability to deliver lines of iambic pentameter. No, he cast the martial artist because of her ability to kick butt.
It is a skill Carano, who plays a betrayed black-ops super soldier, fully demonstrates on the person of Channing Tatum in the first five minutes of Haywire, a sequence which has just been put up on Hulu and which you can see below.
The scene also offers the first extended look at the fertile new partnership between Soderbergh and Tatum — one that will be on further, uh, display in the forthcoming male stripper movie, Magic Mike.
