Tough Movie Chicks Of 2012

tough-chicks-beckinsale-carano

This weekend, two action heroines go to battle with each other at the box office. Kate Beckinsale returns as the bad-ass vampire in Underworld: Awakening and MMA fighter Gina Carano enters the arena in Haywire.

Are we seeing a trend for strong women's roles? Bridesmaids and The Help were two of the most successful films for 2011 featuring an all-women cast, but Zoe Saldana was the only super heroine to prove she could kick butt and sell tickets to her breakout hit Colombiana.
