Mulan 2: Electric Boogaloo
A Non-Review by Prof. Popinjay Did Mulan need a sequel? Did it merit a sequel? Did anyone want a sequel? Well, when Disney realized they made more money on dvd sales than theatrical releases, they decided the answer for all three questions was “Shut up and give us your money!”…

Much Ado About Nothing
A Poetic Non-review by Prof. Popinjay ‘’Twas with great merriment I hath viewed this play. The players did play it so well. Washington, Thompson and Branagh portray roles assumed or lived, I can’t tell. A villain there was in Keanu, I see. Though why him, I must inquire. A lowly…

Mr. Robot
A Non-Review by Professor Popinjay I’ve been watching the Mr. Robot series. I like it but if there is such a thing as under-writing as opposed to over-writing, this show does it! You really have to pay attention and patiently piece the plot together. It’s like the writer’s goal was…

Mr. Nice Guy
A Non-review by Prof. Popinjay First published Sept 26, 2020 I didn’t watch this movie. Not again anyway. When I turned it on I realized I’d seen it back in 1997 and I remembered enough to know I wouldn’t be able to hack it. I love Jackie Chan. I avidly…

Mr. Mom
A non-review by Prof. Popinjay I can really relate to this film but I scoff at his troubles with a mere three children. I’m happy to say I’ve not become entranced with day time television but Phineas and Ferb are close personal friends with whom I share secrets and personal…

Mountain Men (The) (1980)
A Non-Review by Professor Popinjay The only redeeming element of this movie was the back and forth banter between the two very surly mountain men. I could have easily watched an hour and a half of just that. Unfortunately they had to add a plot to this film and I…

More the Merrier (The)
A Non-Review by Professor Popinjay I watched a delightful film the other day called “The More the Merrier”. Filmed in 1942, it stars Jean Arthur, Joel McCrea, and Charles Coburn. Charles Coburn is that elderly fellow you always see in old Looney Tunes wearing a monocle. Or did you? I…

Monkey King: The Legend Begins & Monkey King: Havoc in Heaven’s Palace
I just finished 西游记之大闹天宫 and it’s sequel 西遊記之孫悟空三打白骨精! These are live action adaptations of the Chinese fables of Sun Wukong. I know it’s not for everyone but I love watching movies in their original language. Rarely are the dubbing voice actors of high caliber abilities and I feel it detracts…

Monkey Business (1931) & Monkeys Go Home!
A Non-Review by Professor Popinjay Naturally, watching films in alphabetical order means I see many films in a row with similar titles such as today’s entries. These two films however shared more in coincidence than just the title. Okay so some jokes were a little dated in both and there…

Monkey Bone
A Non-Review by Professor Popinjay I hate when they (gnomes) put someone on the box art who is only in the movie for five minutes or less. Imagine seeing Cate Blanchett on the Cover of Hot Fuzz. You didn’t even know she was in that movie did you!?! ANSWER ME!…
