David McK (3883 KP) rated Hellboy II: The Golden Army (Hellboy 2) (2008) in Movies
Feb 15, 2026
This time around, Hellboy and his comrades from the BPRD find themselves facing off against a ruthless prince (played by Luke Goss), who wishes to awaken the Golden Army of the title in order to destroy mankind.
This comes across as more 'fairy-tale'y than I remember the last film as being, perhaps because of the larger array of creatures here, and in the heavy-lifting of the exposition (which, I've only recently learned, Neil Gaiman was involved in) at the front.
It's also about the only film I can think of that ends near the Giants Causeway in Northern Ireland! (although the stereotypical Irish accent annoys)

Irish Literature
This is a funny, engaging book (a bit cringy during the sex scenes, but I suspect that might just be the convent-school educated girl in me ??♀️ ). The story was very enjoyable, although I did feel that she jumped into another relationship rather quickly (ahem, convent school...). But after listening further, it does make sense. She hadn’t been happy for a while, it seems. I loved the teenaged girls in the family - I think she wrote them realistically. I loved the family members too, and you get a real feel for an Irish family, and family dynamics generally. A great, fun book, with a few rather teary moments. Lots of feels, people!
