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


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.

DJ Akhu's Daily Shuffle: 'Paradise Circus' by Massive Attack (2010)

Year: 2010

Okay, so after watching the first few episodes of BBC TV drama series Luther (starring the brilliant Idris Elba), I had to get the intro theme song. This is that song, so if you haven't checked out that intro or the show I recommend you do.

DJ Akhu's Daily Shuffle: 'A New Feeling' by Alphabet Botanical (2012)

Year: 2012

Akhu's Movie Reviews: "The High Cost of Living" (2011)

Year: 2011
My Rating: 6.6/10 Stars ******'
This is not a comedy for those who think that because it has Zach Braff in it that its going to be like Scrubs or something. A Montreal drug dealer is involved in a hit and run accident where he accidentally runs down a pregnant woman who as a result of the accident loses her baby, while she herself survives. The dealer (Braff) discovers that she lives, and that he is responsible for the death of the baby, and secretly tries to help the woman without her knowing that he was the hit and run driver. An intense movie.
