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…

Seal Morning (1986)
A Non-Review by Professor Popinjay The dates are all over the place for this film adaptation of Rowena Farre’s beloved book but I think it was first filmed as a miniseries in 1986. I was expecting something stupid just from the title but it was pretty sweet. With a name…

Santa Claus: The Movie (1985)
A Non-review by Professor Popinjay Not to be confused with Tim Allen’s The Santa Clause dodecahextuplegy or Santa Claws, the horror movie I’m sure SOMEBODY SOMEWHERE has made, nor any other movie featuring Santa Claus, this is the true fictional fairytale of Santa Claus’ actual real life fantasy origins told…

Romance on the High Seas
A Non-Review by Professor Popinjay I’m having trouble differentiating this film from Road to Rio which I watched just before this. The plots were very dissimilar but they still had a lot in common. They both involved time on a cruise ship and a trip to Rio de Janeiro. And…

Road to Rio (1947)
A Non-review by Professor Popinjay Another in the “Road to” comedy series with Bob Hope and Bing Crosby doing their usual hijinks and fighting over the same woman. That is a full endorsement by the way. These films are all pretty enjoyable and this one, so far, has quickly become…

Chip ‘n Dale: Rescue Rangers (Original Animated Series)
A Non-Review by Professor Popinjay It might be because I only recently finished watching the mediocre The Replacements animated series, but Rescue Rangers holds up really well. The animation is superb, the stories are varied, the characters, be they main, recurring, or appearing only once, are well rounded and interesting.…

Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent (The)
A Non-review by Professor Popinjay I’d like to start this article by saying I did zero research prior to writing it. So at face value this is a film about a man (Pedro Pascal) who loves Nicolas Cage. Nicolas Cage plays a semi-fictional version of himself who is seemingly at…
Professor Popinjay's Compendium of Perspicacity
