Dark Tower (The)
A Non-Review by Professor Popinjay —–I’ve not been able to decide for a long time. Is Stephen King a good writer? I think he must be. His books are very popular after all. I’ve never read them as I am not a fan of horror. There’s obviously a call to…

RIVERDALE IS TALESPIN
A Meandering Rant by Professor Popinjay —–My first encounter with Riverdale was by way of a shirt. A young lady with whom I work was wearing the garment. It bore the image of a good-looking young man, fair of skin, rather forlorn in expression but generally unadorned and unextraordinary in…

Mune
A Non-review by Prof. Popinjay This was really good. I’m actually kind of surprised. The story was unique. The characters were interesting and imaginative. It had a good message. It was visually pleasing. The music was great. The only thing I didn’t appreciate was the ancient turtle guy kept flirting…

Mummies Alive!
A non-review by Prof. Popinjay So I only watched the first three episodes because that’s all that came on the unmarked vhs tape I found in the abandoned well beneath the floorboards of a strange motel. You know what? I liked it. Considering who it was made for, it wasn’t…

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…
Professor Popinjay's Compendium of Perspicacity
