James Bond 007: Dr. No to No Time to Die PART 2 of 4
A Non-Review of 27 films (also a cartoon series and a video game) by Professor Popinjay The rest of the Pierce Brosnan films came and went and I was too preoccupied with girlfriends to pay them much heed. I did collect all the musical scores on cd though. I also…

James Bond 007: Dr. No to No Time to Die PART 1 of 4
A Non-Review of 27 films (also a cartoon series and a video game) by Professor Popinjay When considering an entire franchise spanning 59 years there’s bound to be much said that could be said of any such franchise, few as they may be. Not all the films are going to…

Liszt’s Rhapsody
The Composer Collection A Non-Review by Professor Popinjay There’s a great typo on IMDB in the synopsis for this film. His fork is transformed!?! Oh no! How will he eat!?! Hilarious. Obviously it was supposed to say work but now I’m interested in Franz Liszt’s silverware! When is someone going…

Casanova’s Big Night
A Non-Review by Professor Popinjay I’m gonna level with you. I remember very little of this film. I had to take a refresher course. I know Bob Hope is a tailor and he keeps biting people’s lapels and cuffs apparently to tie up some loose thread after which he smiles…

Jurassic World Dominion
A Non-review by Professor Popinjay Ye Gods this was stupid! What a let down this was! Giant bugs? Seriously? That is not what we paid to see and I want my money and time back! When date night comes around I have only enough time for dinner, a movie, or…

Death on the Nile (2022)
A Non-Review by Professor Popinjay As the second installment of Kenneth Branagh’s Agatha Christie’s Hercule Poirot’s Death on the Nile, I was expecting something as epic and thrilling as the previous Murder on the Orient Express. Frankly I found this one just kind of sad. It was well performed and…

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.…
