For those newbies, or people who've never read this 'how to write better action' article, it's a keeper:

Nice read, EJ. I got to compare my action writing to them and I ended up being very similar to the TRUE LIES example. Neat!

Yes, it's a very helpful article - an old one - but a good one

A great read. I've been using power verbs and lots of adjectives throughout my writing for years, but I could always stand to simplify more. I think my writing style is closest to Raiders of the Lost Ark combined with Jurassic Park, but too complicated. Nice to see I'm moving in the right direction, though.
