The Wrecking Crew (2026), by Albert W. Vogt III
The more one watches movies, the more one realizes the rarity of any originality coming out of Hollywood. Take today’s film, for example, The Wrecking Crew (2026). The first thing I do whenever I sit down to write a review is to go to the International Movie Database (IMDb) and pull up the page for…
The Hustle, by Albert W. Vogt III
There is nothing Biblical about saying that women are the “weaker” sex. The Bible does talk at length about the differences between females and males, which is a part of God’s design. However, saying that one is better than the other because one is supposedly physically stronger, or the other is stereotypically empathetic, is insupportable. …
I’m Totally Fine, by Albert W. Vogt III
A title like I’m Totally Fine (2022) should speak to all of us. I am sure others have said those words even when they did not completely mean them. And therein lies the rub of the entire movie. There is a certain strand of modern culture, a toxic one at that, which tells us that…
Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day, by Albert W. Vogt III

Elizabeth, by Albert W. Vogt III
There are a lot of problems with Elizabeth (1998), and I do not necessarily mean the title ruler of England (Cate Blanchett). My knowledge of these issues began when I was at Loyola University Chicago. While there, I took a course on Early Modern London with one of my favorite professors. He was the first…
The Rip, by Albert W. Vogt III
There is nothing of note coming out in the theaters this weekend, aside from the kind of horror/slasher films I typically avoid for The Legionnaire. If Cameron, or some other practicing Catholic with a penchant for watching movies wishes to review them for us, please feel free to contact me. Otherwise, I thought I would…
The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry, by Albert W. Vogt III
Having a word like “pilgrimage” in the title of The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry (2023) excites a Catholic film reviewer. Pilgrimages are a foundational aspect of the Church, something it has been doing since the beginning. A further argument can be made that this is something mentioned in the Bible. In the Old Testament,…
