Fancy Pants
A non-review by Prof. Popinjay A musical remake of Ruggles of Red Gap, which I’m sure everyone remembers. (I sure don’t) It’s your standard story of a struggling actor believed to be an aristocrat masquerading as an English butler who falls in love with Lucile Ball as most would. It…

Lego Clutch Powers (The Adventures of…)
A non-Review by Prof. Popinjay I’ve talked about Lego home video stuff before. The theatrical releases are great. The straight to video stuff is just the worst! This is no exception and it doesn’t even have the draw of recognizable licensed properties. Not that that ever helped. It’s still the…

RoboCop: Prime Directives
A Non-Review by Prof. Popinjay A made for TV miniseries consisting of four 95 minute episodes, this continuation of the Robocop franchise attempts to return to its darker more violent roots after the more family oriented Robocop TV series was criticized. This was still TV though so it’s a lite…

Life in the Wild: Volume 2

Little Men 1998
A Non-review by Prof. Popinjay Not to be confused with the recent similarly titled film starring Greg Kinear which, so far as I can tell, has nothing to do with Louisa May Alcott’s sequel to Little Women. Nor should it be confused with the similarly titled 1998-1999 tv miniseries Little…

Lover Come Back (1961)
A Non-Review by Prof. Popinjay I don’t care if this is the 83rd Doris Day film I’ve reviewed, this one is pure comedy gold! The script is genius, the one-liners are a hoot, and Tony Randal is a riot! “I’m not going to let you [un-alive] yourself alone! We’ll get…

How to Train Your Dragon: Gift of the Night Fury & How to Train Your Dragon: Dawn of the Dragon Racers
A Non-review by Prof. Popinjay You know what? These are friggin great! After watching these I realized I love everything to do with How to Train Your Dragon. The humor is great. The action is great. And the message… oh man. It’s not pounded into your face like so much…
