Talking about how much Jenifer Garner loves motherhood, Garner previously told Marie Claire magazine: “My job is great to have as a mom. I get to take long breaks and then work hard in a really concentrated way.”

Garner shopped around while chatting with a fellow market-goer as Jenn Garner impressively balanced her growing 3-year-old on her full-term tummy.

As for the baby-on-the-way, Jen and her hubby Ben Affleck are expecting what will be their second child anytime as soon as later this week - as the latest reports are claiming that she’s due in the first few days of January.

Jennifer Garner : DareDevil

Jennifer Garner Daredevil - The Director's Cut [Blu-ray]Director: Mark Steven Johnson
Actors: Ben Affleck, Jennifer Garner, Colin Farrell, Michael Clarke Duncan, Jon Favreau
Studio: 20th Century Fox
Category: DVD

4 out of 5 stars Sound that Shakes the Devil October 22, 2008
If you are looking for 'earthquake' shaking bass, then get this movie. If your system can handle it this is a "DEMO"--show off your system quality soundtrack. If one complains that the bass is "boomy" it is because their SUB cannot handle the volume of EXTREME lows. From the opening credits and all throughout this film my concrete foundation shook with clean powerful gut-punching bass. The 24 bit DTS HD MA sound is reference quality. The sound design is reference quality. The use of surrounds is in a word "involving". It draws one into the action. Subtle (and not so subtle) surround usage brings the action aggressively into your room. You will find yourself ducking as Bullseye works his evil, deadly aim. If you can, engage the EX on your system, you will add another dimension to this excellent soundtrack. (In addition to my system sub, I have a 15" sub dedicated to the "surround" channels that thunders with this track)

And while the video is not quite up to the audio standard, this film, which is shot mostly at night, reveals very good shadow detail and exhibits inky blacks without black crush. Day shots can be soft, but not enough to distract. The FX of Daredevil's "radar" sound produces a CGI visual explosion as it details what his visual mind extracts from his ultra sensitive hearing.

The director's cut explores more character development than the theatrical cut. It makes the storyline more personal on all levels. It reveals the "story" behind the story. The pace is somewhat slower, but that slower pace raises the tension in the action scenes. Getting the detail on a character's motivation simply makes for better story telling. If you're looking for non-stop slam bang comic book action, then you might want to stay with the theatrical cut, which unfortunately is not available at this time on BD.



1 out of 5 stars What a tremendous disapointment! October 8, 2008
There are rumors circulating that the director's cut of Daredevil is much better than the theatrical version. Further, they say this fixes many problems in the movie. The theatrical version was poor because the bad studio execs made bad decisions about the final cut.

On the strength of these rumors, I bought a copy of this Blu-ray. I wish I hadn't. I am hear to tell you that all these reports are nothing in the world but a bunch of codswallop, poppycock, blarney and balderdash. In every respect, the director's cut is worse than the theatrical version of the movie, not better.

The movie does not benefit at all from the extra thread including the trial of Coolio. The studio was correct in discarding all those scenes. It was a totally unnecessary plot thread, containing a lot of bad scenes full of bad dialog, badly delivered. Including these bad scenes of bad dialog does not help resolve anything. Rather, it creates a cheap, "made for TV" feel that was common with CBS movies in the 1970s-1980s. It is paced like a snail, and feels way too long with this extra 34 minutes of footage.

The movie failed because Colin Farrel sunk the picture. The quivering and shivering idiot he played was not Bullseye. Also Michael Clark Duncan was a poor choice for the Kingpin.

After viewing the director's cut, I can say I categorically agree the studio's decision to cut all those scenes. It was better before.



5 out of 5 stars DAREDEVIL! Pioneer of Wire-Fu and Stick Fighting! October 5, 2008
I subscribed to the early comic book. I liked Daredevil because he was different with his disabilities (blind and mortal) and strengths ('radar-sense' and martial arts style of moving and fighting). I thought the film was a great version of my favorite underdog hero. There's a dark feeling in the look and story of this 'early wire-swinging' hero. A earthy cross between Batman and Spiderman with a realistic approach that is almost noirish. The picture and sound are BluRay bests! Basically, Daredevil is a blind stick fighter, who is so hyper-sensitive, that he has to medicate himself and get into a isolation tank, to get any sleep. And he's got a girl. Give DAREDEVIL a chance.


3 out of 5 stars What's Wrong with This Film... September 29, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

That title is not a question; it's a statement, because I'm going to tell you what I think ruined this movie. It wasn't Ben Affleck. As far as well-known actors go, he performed quite well in a niche role. It wasn't Michael Clarke Duncan. Even thought the Kingpin is white in every other version, what big white guy are you going to get to play the role as well as Duncan did? Turning a white character black is not a concern for me; they're doing it with Nick Fury for the Ultimate Avengers, and it works.

No, the problem with this film is two-fold: Jennifer Garner and Colin Farrell. Or maybe it should be Jennifer Garner and Mark Stephen Johnson. Well, whoever's responsible for the crap-tastic versions of Elektra and Bullseye, they're responsible for the lameness of "Daredevil."

Jennifer Garner is just not a good actress. She looks nice, but that's it. Her portrayal of Elektra was such a deviation from the original character; she's too outgoing, too nice, too kind-hearted. She's Greek, but she can't even speak to her father in their native language, even when he speaks it to her? She also talks too much. And couldn't they have at least dyed her hair black? This is like making Jean Grey a blonde; you don't do it.

Maybe Colin Farrell isn't to blame for Bullseye's failure; maybe he was just doing as directed. Either way, he took an already cinematic character from the comics and made him so incredibly generic. Bullseye's cocky and talkative; Farrell was soft-spoken and had an accent (Don't try to tell me he can't fake an American accent. "Phone Booth"). I understand that the comic book version of Bullseye wore a silly spandex outfit that wouldn't look good on film, but couldn't they have done better than a trench coat? Go play "The Punisher" video game that came out in 2005 to see a perfect representation of Bullseye that would have worked for the film. To bad Garth Ennis didn't work on this film.

I'm interested in seeing Director's Cut, but I see no way it will change my opinion on the failings of these two characters. Maybe I'll just skip around their scenes.
