Akhu's Movie Reviews: 'Some Like It Hot' (1959)

Movie: Some Like It Hot

Year: 1959

My Rating: 10/10 Stars *********

Some Like It Hot has quite the star-studded cast, including Jack Lemmon, Tony Curtis, and Marilyn Monroe. A comedy about 2 musicians (Lemmon and Curtis) during the prohibition era who unintentionally witness the Valentine's Day massacre and have to flee to Florida (from Chicago) dressed as women, to blend into the all-female band they land with to escape the mob boss who wants them dead. A good old 1959 comedy to watch when you are in the mood for something cheery. This is probably my favorite Marilyn Monroe and Jack Lemmon movie. Definitely check this one out no matter who you are, it is a classic with classic all American actors, don't miss out.

Brief Movie Review for "On the Beach" (1959)

4/5 Stars ****

The message here is "There is still Time." One of those movies that makes you think a little bit and put things in perspective. Also, was filmed and set mostly in Melbourne, lots of shots from a truly great city. The threat of nuclear war seems less, but now we have climate change and drowning in our own other various poisonous substances in our food, water, air, and soil...fun stuff to think about aye! Definitely not an upper movie, and don't watch if you don't like marinating in that forboding sense of inevitable doom for 2 hours, but that said its probably one of those movies everyone should have to watch in school.
