Pete’s Dragon (1977 & 2016)
A Non-review by Professor Popinjay I had seen the 1977 musical before. In fact I had some long lasting trauma from it. You never know what will affect a kid but when they have no concept of what is going on in a scene and can’t effectively articulate inquiries to…

Matador (The)
A Non-review by Professor Popinjay Imagine a Sherlock Holmes story but replace Sherlock Holmes with an assassin and replace Watson with… well the Watson character is still basically the Watson character in this, just following the assassin around and being amazed at everything he does. Also, the Watson character’s wife…

A Non-review by Professor Popinjay Wellllllllllllllllll poop. Oh SPOILERS BTW. LIKE MAJOR SPOILERS. Wellllllllllllllllll poop. They went and done a PotC:aWE on us! They get us excited for a nice little movie franchise and then just throw it into a blender. I was riveted throughout this film. I was at…

Bumblebee
A Non-review by Professor Popinjay Transformers movies have been a tough row to hoe. I always thought the toys were cool and I even had a couple but by the time I was really cognizant they had kind of passed their prime. No pun intended. Or maybe they hadn’t yet…

Cloverfield
A Non-review by Professor Popinjay MILD SPOILERS I want to start by saying I don’t think this was a bad movie. The reason I want to start with this is because I initially thought this was a bad movie. I also knew this wasn’t a fair assessment however because for…

Fairly Odd Movie (A): Grow Up, Timmy Turner!
A Non-Review by Professor Popinjay They made a live action Fairly Odd Parents movie? Actually they made three. Another question: what is Fairly Odd Parents? If you were born in 1982 (like myself) and you’ve never heard of this show, it’s likely you have a lucrative career and are highly…

Logan Lucky
A Non-Review by Professor Popinjay It’s been said by some that all guys want is sex. As a guy I can confirm this is 200% true. That is literally and figuratively all they want. Comedian Dane Cook argues that this is not true and claims guys also want a monkey…

Sherlock Holmes and the Sign of Four (1987)
A Non-Review by Professor Popinjay I could do a multi-franchise-spanning treatise on everything Sherlock Holmes but I really think these deserve scrutiny each in their own right. Sherlock Holmes films have been made since the very first year the motion-picture camera was invented in 1900 with the 30 seconds long…

Shelly Duvall’s Bedtime Stories
A Non-review by Professor Popinjay It ended up in my vhs collection so I watched it and there’s nothing you can do about it now! All I had was one episode on vhs so that’s all I’m considering. I might watch anything that falls into my lap but I’m not…
