Film 85/365, Day 89/365 – Daredevil

I've never really liked the Daredevil character, his only special power is that he can see whilst being blind!  Yeah he’s a good gymnast but that’s not a special power.  Anyhow this film is a pretty average action film ruined by some pretty awful CGI.  Jennifer Garner is the only redeeming feature.

Synopsis: Matt Murdock is a solicitor by day and masked vigilante Daredevil by night.  Oh and he’s also blind.  He patrols the streets of his neighbourhood protecting the innocent and punishing the guilty.  But he’s sticking his nose where it’s not wanted and now the Kingpin is going to take care of him.

Film 83/365, Day 88/365 – Juno

Juno has a fantastic script which is performed delightfully by Ellen Page as the wonderfully sarcastic Juno.  However expect to see Michael Cera, Jason Bateman and Jennifer Garner all playing the characters you would have expected.  This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, just don't expect any shocks or twists.  Not my usual choice of film but it was a nice change, although I may need to watch something suitably manic now in an attempt to raise my adrenaline levels.

Synopsis: Juno is a teenage girl who discovers that she is pregnant.  After plenty of debating and a failed trip to the abortion clinic Juno decides to have the baby and goes about looking for a couple who want to adopt it.  Having found a young couple who seem perfect everything looks set.  What could possibly go wrong?
