Ed
A Non-review by Professor Popinjay You got a baseball playing monkey. You got a baseball playing Matt LeBlanc. That’s about all I remember about this movie. I don’t think the monkey was supposed to have superpowers but he could throw that baseball like a rocket. Everything I’ve read about this…

Daddy Day Care
A Non-Review by Professor Popinjay I find no fault with this movie. I appreciated the sentiment that men can be capable of effectively caring for multiple children and are not all of them irresponsible weirdos. The guys in vegetable costumes fighting each other needs to be a new reality show.…

Cable Guy
A Non-review by Professor Popinjay I was a Jim Carrey fanatic when I was in middle school. I know I just geeked out about Mr. T but that was when I was like 2. But this is a whole different era. I thought Ace Ventura was hilarious. I loved every…

Back to the Future Trilogy & The Time Machine (2002)
A Non-review by Professor Popinjay I think I saw the first one of these at home. I can’t remember where I saw the second. Probably at home too. The third I saw in the theater. I was eight. I confess I didn’t fully grasp the concept of the butterfly effect…

A-Team (2010)
A Non-review by Professor Popinjay I didn’t fully grasp that Mr. T was from the A-Team when I was a kid. I didn’t know he was B.A. Baracus on the A-Team and then he was playing Clubber Lang in Rocky III. He was just Mr. T. I thought he was…

10,000 BC
A Non-review by Professor Popinjay Have you ever wondered what went down 12,025 years ago but you can’t stand Ray Romano? Well, you’re in luck because someone had video cameras back then and they filmed it and Ray Romano is no where to be seen! I saw this so long…

Clueless
A Non-review by Professor Popinjay I was thirteen years old when Clueless came out. If you had told me then that Clueless was a modern rendition of Jane Austen’s Emma, my reaction would have been “Huh, interesting. I’m going to resume playing Super Metroid now.” I didn’t know or care…

Inside Out 2
A Non-review by Professor Popinjay I took all the kids to see this at the theater… all the kids that I personally fathered anyway. The rest were on their own. I’m sure my older kids suspected my ulterior motive in requiring their presence. Their ages right now are 15, 13,…

Egg and I (The) and The Ma and Pa Kettle franchise
Unless you’re about 80 years old you’ve probably never heard of these guys but back in the 50’s Ma and Pa Kettle saved Universal from bankruptcy. It’s no big surprise either because these films are pretty enjoyable. Actress Marjorie Main as Ma Kettle was the driving force behind the duo…

Moon Over Parador
A Non-review by Professor Popinjay Did you love the movie Dave but really wish there was an older movie with a similar plot? Did you read the Prince and the Pauper but always wished the prince would have a heart attack early in the story? I know! Who doesn’t want…
Professor Popinjay's Compendium of Perspicacity
