If you want credible and believable action watch the Bourne trilogy and Rescue Dawn. If you want stupid OTT action then I recommend Shoot 'Em Up, Knight and Day and probably (as I haven't watched them) the Cranks and Transporters.
Worthwhile comedies from the last few years, I suggest, are Sideways, Bad Santa, Burn After Reading, Cemetery Junction, Observe and Report and Perrier's Bounty. The World's Fastest Indian isn't really a comedy but there are many funny scenes and anyone who watches it will feel excellent afterwards.
If you can stand to watch animation then check out Bolt, How to Train Your Dragon and Ratatouille - they all have plenty of good action and comedy.
