Electric State (The)
A Non-Review by Professor Popinjay (2025) I don’t understand why The Electric State is getting so much hate. It’s friggin’ amazing. Some have complained that it borrows too much from other, more interesting films. I don’t know. Maybe those critics saw movies that I haven’t and that’s what they’re basing…

Lego Scooby-Doo: Haunted Hollywood
A Non-Review by Professor Popinjay (2016) Forget everything I’ve said about Lego “direct-to-video” movies… at least in regards to Lego Scooby-Doo. Maybe it’s a bias toward Scooby and the gang. Maybe it’s the tried and true formula that lends itself well to corny jokes. Whatever the reason, Lego Scooby-Doo: Haunted…

Caddie Woodlawn
A Non-Review by Professor Popinjay (1989) Yes it’s a semi old movie no one ever saw and no one will want to read about but I’m writing about it anyway because it deserves it, dang it! Deal with it! I came across Caddie Woodlawn and could have sworn I’d seen…

Johnny Bravo
A Non-review by Professor Popinjay (1997… or 1995 if you were paying attention) Johnny Bravo was one of those cartoons from the What a Cartoon show, the Hannah-Barbara experiment which created conditions for artists to just create, unhindered by network executive interference or focus groups. These were cartoons not designed…

Minecraft Movie (A)
A Non-Review by Professor Popinjay Thoroughly entertaining from start to finish. I paid for a refillable soda and popcorn and never got a refill on either because I didn’t want to miss a minute. I sent my wife for the refill because she wanted to miss a minute. That makes…

Bad Moms
A Non-Review by Professor Popinjay This is not my kind of movie. At least I thought it wasn’t. I put it in the same category as Van Wilder or Bad Santa. But it’s really not like those at all. I hate hate hate those raunchy screwball comedies like Not Another…

Everything Jimmy Neutron
A Non-Review by Professor Popinjay (1998) I’ve had a roller-coaster relationship with Jimmy Neutron. When he first aired I had zero interest. The show seemed juvenile. I later learned that Steve Oedekerk was executive producer. I’m not sure if that translates to any artistic input from him but I was…

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter
A Non-Review by Professor Pooinjay (2012) You know? I’m not so sure this film was historically accurate. I know they skip over some stuff in the history books but Abraham Lincoln hunting vampires seems like a difficult thing to sweep under the rug. Such a weird concept but I loved…

Jake and the Neverland Pirates
A Non-Review by Professor Popinjay (2011) Do you love Dora the Explorer but always thought it needed more… you know… piracy? Disney has the answer for you and all they did was bastardize J.M. Barrie’s classic work. But it’s public domain now so we can do anything we want with…

101 Dalmatians (1961)
A Non-Review by Professor Popinjay Most everyone has seen it. I’ve never met anyone who doesn’t love it. Classic Disney animation is so much a part of people’s childhood it’s virtually impossible to be critical. Said films generally have immunity from toxic fandom and nitpicky criticism. I read one reviewer…
