Mowgli- Legend of the Jungle-
A non-review by Prof. Popinjay This came out at the same time Disney’s live action version and is far superior! I love that Mowgli was actually played by an Indian kid. In the history of Jungle Book films, an actual Indian boy has never once been cast as Mowgli except…

Money Train-
A non-review by Professor Popinjay Two cops who are brothers and partners share a love/hate relationship as they wrestle with the notion of robbing a train controlled by a corrupt uhhhhh….train guy? I don’t know. That would be an interesting story to watch but instead we spend most our time…

Mission: Impossible- Fallout
A Non-Review by Prof. Popinjay This movie is the reason Henry Cavill’s lip looked so funny in the Justice League movie. Personally I thought if Supes just randomly showed up with a mustache it would have been accepted by the audience. Batman could have commented on it. He could have…

Lego Movie 2- The Second Part:
A Non-Review by Prof. Popinjay Once I finally sat down and actually paid attention to this movie instead of traipsing to and from the kitchen as I supplied the tiny residents of my house with corn dogs, popcorn, and juice boxes, I actually liked it and thought it was just…

North by Northwest
A Non-Review by Professor Popinjay This was fun but nerve Wracking to watch with modern sensibilities. Every second I just knew he was doing something that was going to incriminate him later. Interesting choices made in this film, like letting the audience in half way through the film. Or the…

Mr. Robot
A Non-Review by Prof. Popinjay Taking many admitted cues from the film Fight Club but focusing more on computer hacking and conspiracies behind big business, I found this incredibly intriguing. It was hard to get through though. Not because it was boring or tedious. It never was. It was just…

PAN’S LABYRINTH
A Non-Review by Professor Popinjay I think I might have an unpopular opinion here. This wasn’t what I was expecting. This movie featured no Pan and a frustratingly fleeting amount of Labyrinth. Honestly though, I felt like I was in such an agitated state wanting, wishing, and waiting for the…

Labyrinth
A Non-Review by Prof. Popinjay I finally watched Labyrinth all the way through. I’m a fan of Jim Henson. I’m a fan of David Bowie. I’m a fan of contact juggling. This movie has it all right? Well… I’ll say I liked it. But honestly, you know what I didn’t…

Mutiny on the Elsinore
A Non-Review by Prof. Popinjay Just watched Mutiny on the Elsinore. I don’t know how much it had to do with the Jack London novel but I feel like a better title might have been “Whiny Little Twerp Complains Throughout Duration of This Film”. Aside from this guy getting slapped…

Cutie Honey (Live Action Movie)
A Non-review by Prof. Popinjay Don’t judge me. So “Cutie Honey” is a live action film based on an anime rife with fan service. Was this film rife with fan service? A little. Was it a masterpiece of human literature manifested in cinematic form? Eh, no. But I really wasn’t…
