Movies I watched in February

Not a very exciting month for movies, unfortunately. Some decent ones nothing too terrible.

4.5 Stars

Patlabor 2: The Movie (1993): The tonal shift of the TV shows, OVAs, and then the movies gives me absolute whiplash but I love all three equally and distinctly. the movies are SO SERIOUS. Go watch a TV episode and then a movie, I dare you.

4 Stars

Witness (1985) : I think I saw part of this film as a kid, just the opening in the bathroom and it stuck with me all these years later. A very good film and the high regards are well deserved! Also kind of a crazy score for a movie about the Amish?

The Help (2011): Re-read the book recently so I could watch the movie again. I know this movie is problematic but the acting performances are just so top notch. Every actress just knocks it out of the park. I stan Jessica Chastain.

Bugonia (2025): I was so scared to watch this film, so scared. In this day and age and with the trailer the way it was edited….ugh, I was so worried going into this film. The worries were unfounded, it was rough to watch in a few spots but it really defied my expecations. Jesse Plemons was Oscar snubbed for this.

Atlantis: The Lost Empire (2001): “Welcome to the City of Atlantis!” A welcome re-watch on our Disney Journey. The art in this is just so good and so sharp (literally, everything feels sharp) and I miss Michael J. Fox, the man is so affable even his voice is affable.
