Where are the female actrion heroes?

Hollywood has tried. Sort of. There was Angelina Jolie's Lara Croft. There was the abominal Catwoman starring Halle Berry. The Resident Evil series starring Milla Jovovich seems to be doing well - after all its had five movies altogether...(I've never seen any of 'em)

But for all that, 99% of all actioners have stern looking guys...

On the IMDB page today we've got posters for:

--The Cold Light of Day - 2 guys, one of them Bruce Willis, and in a sort of far, full-length shot, Sigourney Weaver in a pants suit
--Skyfall starring Daniel Craig
--The Hunter

One of the sad things about any actioner with women in it...most of the time all the guys are wearing fatigues, the women? Shorts riding up to their butts and close fitting, V-neck shirts revealing their cleavage. I don't know about you...but if I had to go out into the jungle with enemies on all side - either human or alien - I'd want to be in normal fitting fatigues, too!
