Akhu's Movie Reviews: 'Hellboy II' (2008)

Movie: Hellboy II
Year: 2008
My Rating: 7.8/10 Stars *******'
This is one of those cases where the sequel is just-as-good-if-not-better than the original. This movie was definitely a higher budget as well, and well worth watching. The same group of secret-government-paranormal agents finds themselves going up an ancient and invincible force called the golden army, and a elven prince who wants to raise it to destroy humanity. Lots of good action scenes, check it out.

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.
