Super Mario Bros. & The Super Mario Bros. Movie
(1993) (2023) A non-review by Professor Popinjay The 1993 Super Mario Bros. film is widely regarded as a bad Mario movie. But is it a bad movie without Mario? Probably. But is it a fun bad movie? I like to think so. When I watch the 1993 Super Mario Bros.…

Murder on the Orient Express (2017)
A Non-review by Professor Popinjay It’s a strange thing, remaking mysteries. I’ve seen many incarnations of Murder… referring specifically to Murder on the Orient Express. Hmmm. Probably not the wisest way to abbreviate that title. I’ve seen many incarnations of Orient Express. That sounds better. I know what happens. The…

McClintock!
A Non-Review by Prof. Popinjay A western 50 Shades of Grey? Nope! It’s just McLintock Exclamation Point! This movie was just a vehicle for satisfying John Wayne’s recurring urge to spank Maureen O’Hara. C’mon, John! I understand Maureen needs it more than most but why on screen? Or is that…

The Maltese Falcon
A Non-Review by Prof. Popinjay Film Noir at its finest. This is the original McGuffin film. Get the thing because you gotta get the thing cuz everyone else wants the thing, who cares what the thing is. The Maltese Falcon is the originator of so many classic film moments and…

Magic in the Water
A Non-Review by Professor Popinjay —–This movie was actually good at somethings, specifically, complicated set ups for satisfying pay-offs. I know no one is going to waste their time on this movie so I’ll just tell you what happened. Throughout the film the older son keeps repeating “I could drive…

Music & Lyrics
A Non-Review by Professor Popinjay Hilarious. I highly recommend this movie! The acting was superb. It was well written. The humor was constant! It was romantic. I loved it. The only thing I couldn’t wrap my head around was the female pop star character. It wasn’t a huge role so…
