MUNSTERS (The) TV SHOW AND MOVIES
A Non-review by Prof. Popinjay -As my usual goal with my non-reviews is to introduce readers to old movie gems they might have missed, I debated whether I should do a treatise on the Munsters at all. Who hasn’t heard of them? Then I met a guy who hadn’t heard…

Mulholland Falls
A Non-Review by Prof. Popinjay [To adhere to the author’s original vision, this article is purposefully presented in black and white.] (A sad saxophone plays)I’ve been working this job for sixteen years. It’s the kind of job you can turn your brain off and just do; the kind of job…

Bright Eyes
A Non-review by Prof. Popinjay Yes, this is a Shirley Temple film. Yes, they tacked on reprisals from her other musicals. It’s also a sweet story. I’ve seen it before but when I realized I put it into my watchin’ queue I watched it again because, dang it, I like…

Dark Phoenix
A Non-review by Prof. Popinjay Hmmmmm. Yeah? I mean… I liked the last ones. Days of Future Past was cool. I don’t know… this one? Dark Phoenix? Didn’t we do this one already? Feels like we did this one. Michael Faßbender is in this one! Christopher Plummer 2, as a…

Great Lover (The)
A Non-Review by Prof. Popinjay It’s an amusing scenario. Bob Hope plays a reluctant leader of a junior scout troop and he wants nothing more than to ditch the little twerps and woo a nice adult female human. The troop on the other hand seeks to save him from such…

Mr. Destiny
A Non-review by Prof. Popinjay As some of my recent trivia has suggested, I watched Mr. Destiny starring Jim Belushi, Linda Hamilton, and Rene Russo… also Michael Caine as himself but with magic powers… so just regular Michael Caine I guess. Of course the elephant in the room I must…

SHARKNADO!
A Non-Review by Prof. Popinjay Throughout history humanity has achieved a great many astounding accomplishments. Nuclear fission, seedless watermelon, and horseless flight, to name a few. But there exists now a new acheivement which makes these fine examples of human ingenuity look like the floundering last minute attempt at a…
