Daredevil (2003)
Daredevil (2003)
2003 | Action, Sci-Fi
pre-MCU much-derided superhero movie, with a pre-Batfleck Ben Affleck miscast as the titular (and blind) Daredevil, vigilante by night and lawyer by day, alongside an equally miscast Jennifer Garner as Elextra Nachios.

Colin Farrell, however, chews the scenery as Bullseye whilst Michael Clarke Duncan does make an imposing Kingpin, and some of the fight scenes (particularly in the directors cut) are effectively brutal - talking of which, if you must, the Directors Cut is the one to watch - whilst a pre-MCU Jon Favreau again effectively plays the sidekick ('Foggy' Nelson instead of - in the MCU - 'Happy' Hogan).

Charlie Cox, however, is a much better fit for the role and, indeed, stars in a much better series than this movie is.

Feature-length movie set in the D&D universe, this is much better than the 2000 travesty, with Chris Pine this time taking the lead, alongside Michelle Ridriguez and Hugh Grant and is set in the 'Forgotten Realms' campaign setting, with Baldurs Gate and Neverwinter both getting name-dropped.

(I must admit that, as large parts of it were filmed in my home of Northern Ireland, I did spend quite a bit of time playing 'spot the location').

It also has a refreshing low-stakes feel about it (there's no real 'end of the world' disaster to be averted), and I did also feel that it had elements of Monty Python around it (particularly in the talking to the dead graveyard bit)

Independent Reviewer for Archaeolibrarian - I Dig Good Books!


Raj dishonoured his family by going to America to chase a woman he has fallen in love with. Will he get his happily ever after?


First off, let me say yes, I know it says it's an erotic book. It really is. It certainly made me blush in parts, as well as wanting to say aww bless as he is so innocent. It just proves how different cultures work.


I read it as if Raj was talking, as that's how it seems to be written. Not sure if it was intentional but it works. It's not a story that I would read again but I enjoyed it.
