Awesome choice for #25, but is this your greatest list or favorite list?

How is Thailand? I've heard it's beautiful. Have you tried any insects yet?

There are some movies that never got my attention for some reasons. One could be that the movie got bad reviews.

But any movie I can watch together with my girlfriend will get my full attention. So on tv yesterday it was a movie about a red dressed superhero.

Daredevil (2003) was a big surprise. I was expecting a disaster like Catwoman (2004). Really, I don't understand why this movie was dismissed by so many, and poor Ben Affleck. I simply can't understand all the hate for this guy.

He was great as Daredevil, and his interaction with Jennifer Garner felt real and beautiful. They were the best part of this movie and the director did a very good job, making this movie look good. The quality of the movie is surprisingly good. The only thing I could complain about is the 2 enemies. Michael Clarke Duncan as Kingpin and Colin Farrell as Bullseye, are miscasted to their roles. I also find Farrells portrayal to be to much over the top. Ohh yeah, I find Daredevils costume rather ugly.

I hope they can bring Daredevil to life again with a sequel.

I actually think this is one of the better Superhero movies on the market. In style of "realism" it come close to Nolans series of Batman.

7/10

Tropa de Elite kick some serious ass! I feel very happy to have experienced this very realistic movie.

Is there a difference between greatest and a favorite list? It's my own personal list, so I think they mean the same for me.

Thailand is great. You should try it one day. You will fall in love. I have never tried any insects because there are so much else to choose from.
