Scream (1996), by Albert W. Vogt III
Now that I have taken care of the latest movie titled Scream, let us go back to where it all started in 1996. That is what was talked about in the 2022 version, anyway, that the “requel,” the made-up word for whatever that was, had to return to the original. As I mentioned in my review of the… Read more “Scream (1996), by Albert W. Vogt III”
Scream (2022), by Albert W. Vogt III
When the first movie titled Scream (1996) premiered, people marveled at its ability to be self-deprecating. Before I go any further, I need to remind myself to exercise some caution. You see, to prepare for the latest Scream, I watched all four of its forerunners. The first one was a bit of nostalgia. For whatever reason, when I was a young, impressionable… Read more “Scream (2022), by Albert W. Vogt III”
Ocean’s Thirteen, by Albert W. Vogt III
If Hollywood can make a trilogy out of a movie, they will. Actually, they will make as many sequels as they feel will make money for them, no matter how dumb anyone believes a story to be. I only saw one of the Saw movies, the third one I think, but that was enough to know how ridiculous they… Read more “Ocean’s Thirteen, by Albert W. Vogt III”
Ocean’s Twelve, by Albert W. Vogt III
There are times when if you ruin the end of the movie, it will make the rest of it make sense. One could make that argument for The Sixth Sense (1999). There are those who like big reveals at the end of a film. I am one of them. Yet, if you have knowledge of the conclusion, you can go back… Read more “Ocean’s Twelve, by Albert W. Vogt III”
Ocean’s Eleven, by Albert W. Vogt III
Unwittingly, I seem to make controversial statements when it comes to films. For instance, I like all the installments in the Ocean’s franchise. Many look at the first, Ocean’s Eleven (2001), as the best, and dismiss the rest as pale imitations thereof. For me, there is enough of a difference between them all for them each to stand on their own. Granted, it… Read more “Ocean’s Eleven, by Albert W. Vogt III”
The Investigator, by Albert W. Vogt III
Life, am I right? When my girlfriend recommended The Investigator (2013) to me, she was surprised that I had not heard of it. It is one that, given the circles in which I have moved and currently run, I probably should have been aware of its existence. If a certain person out there actually reads my reviews (and it would… Read more “The Investigator, by Albert W. Vogt III”
The Tourist, by Albert W. Vogt III
Each New Year’s Eve I get together with my best friend and his family to have a Harry Potter movie marathon. Because we tend to see our own kin on Christmas, this is also an opportunity for us to exchange gifts. I look forward to this day every year, not only for the opportunity to re-watch some… Read more “The Tourist, by Albert W. Vogt III”
