Pan
A Non-Review by Professor Popinjay (2015) Pan did not get a lot of hype behind it. It kind of slipped through the cracks a bit. Not surprising, considering it was up against Avengers: Age of Ultron and Inside Out. I’m a little surprised at the highest grossing film in October…

Tom and Jerry: The Movie
A Non-Review by Professor Popinjay (1992) It’s hard to pinpoint where Tom and Jerry sit amongst one production company or another. Are they Disney? Are they Looney Tunes? This ambiguous origin might come from the fact that their production changed hands frequently throughout the years. Or it might come from…

Odd Couple & Odd Couple II
A Non-Review by Professor Popinjay (1968) (1998) The Odd Couple is kind of a classic these days. The first is your standard mismatched housemates story. It’s like an actually entertaining episode of The Real World. Oscar is a slob, Felix is a neat freak. Can they get along? These guys…

A Non-Review by Professor Popinjay (2006) Guh. I’m getting tired of commenting on really good movies. Where’s all the stinkers!?! Nanny McPhee is great. The screenplay was written by Emma Thompson so of course it’s great. It’s full of great lessons and great humor and great drama and plenty of…

Seasons of the Heart (1993)
A Non-review by Professor Popinjay This is not to be confused with the 1994 film of the same title starring Carol Burnett. Too bad too. Would have made this article a hell of a lot more interesting. This was a well made and beautiful story. It was just sad as…

Machine Gun Preacher
A Non-review by Professor Popinjay Gerard Butler plays real life Sam Childers who, after getting out of prison and away from drug-dealing, eventually finds himself protecting groups of Sudanese children who are being taken and forced to be soldiers and, likely, other things far worse. Normally a plot about a…

Rugrats movie & Rugrats Go Wild! (Aka Rugrats Meet the Wild Thornberrys)
Movie (1998) Go Wild! (2003) I used to watch Rugrats because it was on and I’d rather watch anything instead of doing homework. It was one of the first shows I remember seeing as a kid that made me think “Ew” because of the artwork. A lot of the shows…

Land that Time Forgot (The) (1974) & The People That Time Forgot (1977)
A Non-review by Professor Popinjay If you noticed the year immediately after the titles of this article instead of after the “by” line, that’s the code that lets you know there’s more than one of these babies. Or at least there’s a few remakes of “Land”, not so much “People”.…
