Murder on the Orient Express (2017)
A Non-review by Professor Popinjay It’s a strange thing, remaking mysteries. I’ve seen many incarnations of Murder… referring specifically to Murder on the Orient Express. Hmmm. Probably not the wisest way to abbreviate that title. I’ve seen many incarnations of Orient Express. That sounds better. I know what happens. The…

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny
A Non-review by Professor Popinjay This did not suck nearly as much as I was expecting. They did not “nuke the fridge” in this film as the saying goes. They did not “swing with the monkeys” in this film as the saying goes. They did not “rely on cgi gophers…

Knives Out
A Non-Review by Professor Popinjay I need to be careful here. I don’t want to give anything away. This is a mystery after all. So when the giant chicken monster is revealed as the true murderer in the third act and Milford shoots it with his homemade coconut launcher, I…

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles
A Non-Review by Professor Popinjay I love robots! Killer robots! Nice Robots! Robots who just want to be loved. Robots who subjugate the human race to protect us from ourselves. That’s all just fine with me… at least until it actually happens. Time travel on the other hand irritates me.…

Long Kiss Goodnight
A Non-Review by Professor Popinjay Gol dernit this was good! I saw it a long time ago now but I would love to see it again! I usually scoff at stories involving amnesia as a literary tool. Amnesia doesn’t usually work in real life the way it works in movies.…

Killer Klowns from Outer Space
A Non-Review by Professor Popinjay I saw this on tv when I was a kid. I couldn’t sleep for like ten minutes! Okay, I wasn’t accustomed to horror back then and it did affect me a bit. I couldn’t put a towel in the towel hamper for quite some time…

Morbius
A Non-review by Prof. Popinjay It was hard to pay attention to this movie with Facebook shouting at me about all the BS Jered Leto puts people through during production. He seems really hard to work with and kind of arrogant. That’s unfortunate for the people who have to work…

Skyscraper
A Non-Review by Prof Popinjay Skyscraper was a Chinese copy of Die Hard or the Towering Inferno made by an American Production company starring Dwayne T. Rock-Johnson instead of Bruce Willis or Paul Newman. They dropped a huge bag of money on his doorstep and his eyes literally turned into…

Snowball Express
A Non-Review by Professor Popinjay I saw this a while ago but I remember it being cute. I never saw a Dean Jones film I didn’t like. I appreciate a movie where the biggest problem they face is not some world shattering apocalypse. We don’t see a lot of simply…

Replacements (The) (Animated Series)
A Non-Review by Professor Popinjay Ironic that I would watch this right after watching Recess. The Replacements (the animated series not to be confused with the y2k football movie starring Keanu Reeves and Gene Hackman) is a stark contrast to Recess. In fact it’s a stark contrast to most quality…
