Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas
A Non-review by Professor Popinjay (2003) I’ve never seen a Sinbad the Sailor movie that I didn’t like. The old franchise has some of the best stop-motion monsters in the industry by master of the craft, Ray Harryhausen. Many of these effects still hold up today and some of it…

Dark City
A Non-Review by Professor Popinjay (1998) Talk about a trip! Dark City starts as a gritty crime drama set in a 1940’s style film noir city underworld with a mystery that blows the mind more and more with each part that unravels. I don’t want to give ANYTHING away! Rufus…

Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Theives
A Non-review by Professor Popinjay (2023) Yes, there is another Dungeons & Dragons movie that came out in 2005. I haven’t seen it but I’ve heard it’s terrible. Personally, I can’t wait to see that one. I’m sure it deserves its own analysis and I don’t want to combine it…

Bad News Bears (1976 & 2005)
A Non-review by Professor Popinjay Oftentimes, if I encounter a franchise with several installments, I like to write them all up at once and tick a huge chunk of films off my list in one fell swoop… such a strange expression. Sometimes I’ve seen all the installments and can quickly…

Uncharted vs. Pitch Meeting
A Non-review by Professor Popinjay Uncharted (2022) Pitch Meeting (2017-Present) My wife and I enjoy watching Pitch Meeting on YouTube with Ryan George. If you’re unfamiliar, Ryan repeats a situation where a writer is pitching a film idea to a producer. The back and forth between these characters (both played…

Abyss (The): Special Edition
A Non-review by Professor Popinjay One thing I don’t want to do is simply regurgitate all my research verbatim and essentially rewrite the Wikipedia page or the IMDb page associated with this movie. Additionally, this movie has been around for a while so people know about it. So I guess…

Mad Max: Fury Road
A Non-Review by Professor Popinjay (2015) [Author’s Note: I originally wrote this back in 2017.

I was just starting to enjoy rambling about movies at that time but hadn’t quite developed…
