IF YOU WANT...tough chicks At the multiplex: In Wanted, Angelina Jolie is a sinuous gunslinger who teaches novice James McAvoy the tricks of the assassin's trade to avenge his father's death. At the art house: The bad girl of European cinema, Asia Argento, stars in The Last Mistress as a strong-willed courtesan unwilling to relinquish her lover (gorgeous newcomer Fu'ad Aït Aattou) to his more suitable bride. In director Catherine Breillat's sumptuous 19th-century period piece, sex is a bloody power struggle and love is an undying affliction.
