   I am going to give Outland a try. I missed that one (primarily because I was   
   still in university and didn't pay attention to films in theatre very much).   
   But I like Sean Connery - and in this film - he actually wanted the role.   
      
   Surrugates sounds interesting too. Bruce Willis brings some good fun in most   
   of his films. A couple of oldies of his - which also seemed to be box-office   
   bombs - are Hudson Hawk and Last Man Standing.  The first is a comedy/action   
   flick.  The latter is a classy dark film noire kind of thing - the ending is   
   superb.
