  Neon Genesis Evangelion (NGE Eva) - Live Action Movie News
The only news here is that the status of the Evangelion live action movie(s) seems unchanged by the announement of the four-movie animated re-make by Gainax.
The first three movies will be an alternate retelling of the TV series (including many new scenes, settings, backgrounds, characters), and the fourth movie will be a completely new conclusion to the story.
Whilst no live action movie scoop, the news is still very big and concerns a "rebuilding" of Evangelion in the form of 4 new movies, the first due out next Summer (in Japan).

Action films are mainly an American genre, although there have been a significant number of action films from Hong Kong which are primarily modern variations of the martial arts film.
Action films also constitute very good examples for feminist film theory, because in them, the separation between the physical male who controls the scene and the look and the female, who is almost always the object of the look is very clear.

 Beyond A Civil Action, The Movie   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Disney's Touchstone Pictures has brought to the screen Jonathan Harr's A Civil Action, dramatizing a complex environmental trial in 1986 in Woburn, Massachusetts that pits John Travolta as plaintiffs' attorney, Jan Schlichtmann, in a nose-to-nose struggle with Robert Duvall as Beatrice attorney Jerome Facher.
Beatrice attorney Jerome P. Facher, who is portrayed in the movie by Robert Duvall, expects the worst.
In a conversation with reporter Dan Kennedy of the Boston Phoenix, Jonathan Harr recalls Facher calling the movie version of the Woburn trial "the fourth degree of separation," understanding that with each level of removal, the resemblance between what is seen on the screen and what may have actually happened grows dimmer and dimmer.

If this movie stands up to virtually every barrier on the screen, it can definitely stand up to the likes of censors and anti-violence advocates who have been on a misguided rampage since the tragedy at Columbine High School, in Littleton, Colorado.

This is garbled characters for the word soundtrack in Japanese I believe, all the tracks are from the Japanese release of the soundtrack to the Chinese action movie Lovers.
I'd argue that you can link the garbled form of the word soundtrack in Japanese since there aren't going to be many more than one or two people that tag something as soundtrack in Japanese but don't have their system setup right to submit Japanese characters.
And get the Japanese trailer for it pulled since it basically just calls it an action movie, focuses on showing all the action scenes, and makes several references to "Hero" to reenforce the action part.
