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…

Recess (The series & School’s Out)
A Non-Review by Professor Popinjay Superb. Utterly superb. Honestly, I can’t praise this enough. It’s just… so… good. My first experience with this show was not the show itself but the movie; Recess: School’s Out. At first glance I thought it was amusing enough but nothing to write home about.…

Quest for Camelot
A Non-Review by Professor Popinjay Quest for Camelot, loosely based on the cover art of Vera Chapman’s novel The King’s Damosel, was originally to be called Quest for the Holy Grail and was going to be very different from what it ultimately became. Interesting that Monty Python’s Eric Idle would…

Quack Pack
A Non-Review by Professor Popinjay I’d be surprised if any have heard of this show. It was pretty late in the line up for Disney Afternoon toons. It was supposed to be an extension of Ducktales but, aside from the usual suspects of duck characters, I don’t see a connection…

Pokémon: The First Movie
A Non-Review by Professor Popinjay Considering this film was made on a 5 million dollar budget and generated 175.7 million at the box office, it’s probably an unpopular opinion when I say, “This was mind-numbing drivel.” But I’m not really into Pokémon so what do I know? This obviously appealed…
