Godzilla Minus Zero, by Albert W. Vogt III
When I see a title like Godzilla Minus Zero, my brain asks, “Why is this a math problem?” It then takes it to its logical conclusion. If it is mathematics, then the answer would be Godzilla, since anything that has nothing subtracted from it is just that thing. So why not just call it Godzilla?…
The Aeronauts, by Albert W. Vogt III
For fear of sounding like a broken record whenever I discuss a film related to science, the Catholic Church is not anti-science.

The Last Kingdom: Seven Kings Must Die, by Albert W. Vogt III

The last couple sentences of 1 Samuel 16:7…

Now, I will be reviewing the latest and last Jackass film in the franchise,…

As a single man in my thirties who is not actively pursuing a religious vocation (unless the good Lord wants me to in the future), I often yearn for the opportunity to meet a nice lady and start a family, as God intends for those called to marriage. As I write this review, however, I’m…
