My Favorite Brunette
A Non-Review by Professor Popinjay Bob Hope can be a gamble. Some of his films didn’t age well. They might have been great at the time but the films are so old some of the jokes fall flat. It’s not his fault. Time and the evolution of language are not…

Cinderella (2015)
A Non-Review by Professor Popinjay This kicked off Disney’s endeavor to turn all their animated films into live-action abominations that completely miss the point of the original stories. Okay so Cinderella was pretty good and gave us a lot of hope for the future live-action treatments which might have added…

Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus (The)
A Non-review by Professor Popinjay Weird. Just weird. This was as weird as Time Bandits or The Adventures of Baron Munchausen or Brazil. That might be because all these were directed by Terry Gilliam of Monty Python fame. I mention these particular films because these were part of a trifecta…

Maltese Falcon (The)
A Non-Review by Prof. Popinjay Film Noir at its finest. This is the original McGuffin film. Get the thing because you gotta get the thing cuz everyone else wants the thing, who cares what the thing is. The Maltese Falcon is the originator of so many classic film moments and…

Magic in the Water
A Non-Review by Professor Popinjay —–This movie was actually good at somethings, specifically, complicated set ups for satisfying pay-offs. I know no one is going to waste their time on this movie so I’ll just tell you what happened. Throughout the film the older son keeps repeating “I could drive…

Godzilla vs. Kong
A Non-Review by Prof. Popinjay Well! That was the strangest rendition of Pride and Prejudice I’ve ever seen. Fin
