Guillermo Del Toro’s Pinocchio
A Non-Review by Professor Popinjay For a while it seemed like there was a Pinocchio craze going on. All Disney has to do is fart in the general direction of some public domain intellectual property and suddenly every half-funded production company out there starts cranking out replicas for the sole…

Pokémon: The First Movie
A Non-Review by Professor Popinjay Considering this film was made on a 5 million dollar budget and generated 175.7 million at the box office, it’s probably an unpopular opinion when I say, “This was mind-numbing drivel.” But I’m not really into Pokémon so what do I know? This obviously appealed…

Penny Serenade
A Non-Review by Prof Popinjay Happy. Sad. Happy. Sad. Happy. Sad. Happy. Sad. Happy. That’s this movie. Bit of an emotional roller coaster as much as I hate comparing movies to amusement park rides. It’s not a bad movie. In fact it’s very well done. I have no complaints. Cary…

Paddington (2015)
A Non-Review by Prof Popinjay Paddington was great. I have no complaints. Sorry that’s just the way it is. I loved the absurd regard for Paddington from the father. “Hmmm, looks to be a bear of some sort.” Spoken disdainfully as if this adorable bear were a transient trying to…

The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus
A Non-review by Professor Popinjay Weird. Just weird. This was as weird as Time Bandits or The Adventures of Baron Munchausen or Brazil. That might be because all these were directed by Terry Gilliam of Monty Python fame. I mention these particular films because these were part of a trifecta…

PAN’S LABYRINTH
A Non-Review by Professor Popinjay I think I might have an unpopular opinion here. This wasn’t what I was expecting. This movie featured no Pan and a frustratingly fleeting amount of Labyrinth. Honestly though, I felt like I was in such an agitated state wanting, wishing, and waiting for the…

AMAZING PANDA ADVENTURE
a non-review by Prof. Popinjay Every once in a while a cheap made-for-tv movie comes along and blows me away. This is not one of those times. I’m not going to be overly harsh for much the same reason I wouldn’t be overly harsh criticizing athletes at the special olympics.…

Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2
A Non-Review by Prof. Popinjay At first this movie disappointed me. I hate how they feel the need to get the character back to square one or worse before they can do a sequel. Yes it means he has several similar goals throughout the film as he did in the…
