Tea for Two
A Non-review by Professor Popinjay Another film named after a song in the film to sell copies of that song, this is a film adaptation of the stage play “No-No Nanette”. That would have been a much more fitting title for this but sorry, there’s a profit to be had.…

Peter Rabbit and Friends (The World of): The Tale of Peter Rabbit and Benjamin Bunny(1992) & The Tale of Peter Rabbit (1991)
(Inhale) A Non-Review by Professor Popinjay Beatrix Potter’s stories were published at a time when most children’s publications consisted of dreary moralistic tales of caution collected and published by the Brothers Grimm almost 100 years previous. Nothing against morals, or even dreariness for that matter, but good lord, Jacob! Read…

Swan Princess (1994) and The Swan Princess: Escape from Castle Mountain
A Non-Review by Professor Popinjay The mom. Queen Uberta, voiced by Sandy Duncan and then Christy Landers. She pretty much makes these films worth the watch. The rest is fine. No complaints really. John Cleese and Steven Wright are fun. I like Bridget from the first film who later becomes…

Susannah of the Mounties
A Non-review by Professor Popinjay Could this be the last Shirley Temple film about which I meander incessantly? Dear God if that were only so. My wife insists I will LOVE “The Bachelor and the Bobbysoxer”. I’m not sure if that’s certainty or some kind of threat. I guess we’ll…

Starlift
A Non-Review by Professor Popinjay Starlift is a semi-fictional account of how entertaining the overseas American troops came to be… okay that was an ambiguous sentence. American oversea troops did not become entertaining. I mean to say Starlift is a semi-fictional account of how overseas American troops came to be…

Stand Up and Cheer!
A Non-Review by Professor Popinjay I really would like to sift out all the salvageable parts of this film but I’m just too pissed. Good ol’ Stepin Fetchit is in this and as usual he’s played for laughs not because he can dance or be funny but just because he’s…

SpongeBob Squarepants Movie (The) (2004)
A Non-review by Professor Popinjay I saw this bad boy in the theaters! Yeah, I’m opening with that. You better believe it. I even took my girlfriend with me. She broke up with me a while after that. Was The SpongeBob Squarepants Movie the beginning of our downward spiral? I’d…

Spaced Invaders
A Non-Review by Professor Popinjay I’m still working on an arduous humor article but I grow ever more satisfied with it as I research and write. It’s taking a while though so I thought I’d take a break and do something easy and mindless. So here’s another Non-review! It’s Spaced…

Transformers One
A Non-review by Professor Popinjay Full disclosure. I’ve not really been a Transformers fan, or if I have been then I’ve been the type that gatekeeping Transformer elitist snobs have been angrily keeping behind the gate so as to maintain their feeling of superiority. I happily grant them that position…

Two Bits & Pepper (Part 2 of 2)
A Non-Review by Professor Popinjay Let’s jump right in… The girl’s walkabout almost instantaneously shows us why this was a bad idea as she is immediately accosted by not one but TWO evil Joe Piscopos. Is no one safe from this multiplicitous terror!?! Thus we come to lesson two. Don’t…
