PEACEMAKER - female director. It's about time Hollywood noticed that women *can* handle a big summer action flick and hire some! Kathryn Bigelow and Mimi Leder and Kimberly Pierce should be getting more work!

Good links and I agree about female directors. I'd also throw Lexi Alexander into the mix, she did a pretty good job on Punisher: War Zone a few years back (even though the film itself wasn't that great).
