What I Watched in February 2025


I simply don't have the time to write up what I'd like to about COMPANION (2025). I'm swamped with far too much work while also trying to complete researching and recording four commentary tracks. Why does everything have to happen during tax season? I'll just recommend seeing it and express my wish that I hadn't known the first twist the film takes because the trailer gives it away. 

The List

JUROR NO. 2 (2024) – 7 (solid courtroom drama)
 
THE CLIMAX (1944) – 5 (rewatch on Blu)

AIR HAWKS (1935) – 6 (a little bit of everything!)

COMPANION (2025) – 8
 
THE EXECUTIONER II: KARATE INFERNO (1974) – 7 (Chiba’s back!)
 
CAPTAIN KRONOS: VAMPIRE HUNTER (1972) – 8 (rewatch on Blu)
 
GOD’S LEFT HAND, DEVIL’S RIGHT HAND (2006) – 5 (flat Japanese manga adaptation)

SUDAN (1945) – 7 (colorful period Egyptian adventure)
 
CAPTAIN AMERICA: BRAVE NEW WORLD (2025) - 8
 
THE VOURDULAK (2024) – 7 (French adaptation of the Tolstoy tale)
 
TWO WITCHES (2021) – 4 (an ineffectual mess)
