The Bucket List, by Albert W. Vogt III
A title like The Bucket List (2007) says it all. However, there is a chicken or egg discussion to be had about this movie, at least as far as my memory is concerned. You see, it is around this time that the notion of listing all the things you would like to do before you…
Ghosts of Mississippi, by Albert W. Vogt III
Too often, history has shown that somebody seeking to disrupt the status quo is reacted against in a violent manner. Jesus experienced this, and He suffered His Passion as a result. Sadly, throughout the centuries, those blazing a path for justice have been killed for their efforts. Because they do so, they allow for others…
The Island at the Top of the World, by Albert W. Vogt III
There are more Disney films than you probably know. Go onto Disney+ some time, scroll through the options, and see for yourself. How many of you have heard of The Cat from Outerspace (1978)? What about Emil and the Detectives (1964)? Those are just two examples of many from which I could have chosen. As…
Fackham Hall, by Albert W. Vogt III

The Bounty, by Albert W. Vogt III
Once upon a time in St. Petersburg, Florida, there was a festival for tall sailing ships. Being the history nerd that I am, I went to it whenever possible. Unfortunately, it is no longer put on, partly because the St. Pete Pier, the site where the boats docked, has changed so much in recent years. …
For Your Consideration, by Albert W. Vogt III
Somehow, For Your Consideration (2006) has escaped my notice until this point. It is one of the many mockumentaries that were the brainchild of Christopher Guest, who plays director Jay Berman in this one. They are usually hilarious, although this ones’ relative obscurity speaks to its quality compared to the others. It is not my…
To Olivia, by Albert W. Vogt III
I do not know about you, but before watching To Olivia (2021), I would have told you that any movie about Roald Dahl (Hugh Bonneville) would have been whimsical. Why might I have such an opinion? Because he authored Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (1964). Most of you will recognize that story better from the…
