Willow, by Albert W. Vogt III
Ever since Red Letter’s reviews of the Star Wars prequels came to YouTube, I have spent much of the last fifteen years believing that George Lucas is a hack. He will always deserve some credit for being the primary force behind the creation of my favorite film franchise of all time, prequels excepting. Further, who am I really to… Read more “Willow, by Albert W. Vogt III”
D3: The Mighty Ducks, by Albert W. Vogt III
This is how I imagine the conversation between Emilio Estevez and Disney went in order to get him to reprise his role as Gordon Bombay one more time for D3: The Mighty Ducks (1996). Disney: Hey, Emilio, want to make it a trilogy? Emilio: Are you kidding me? Did anyone in your studios watch the second one of these turkeys? Disney:… Read more “D3: The Mighty Ducks, by Albert W.

D2: The Mighty Ducks, by Albert W. Vogt III
When The Mighty Ducks (1992) ended, you had a nice, neat little bow placed on a classic underdog sports story. A band of misfit kids from Minneapolis-St. Paul and surrounding environs learn to become a team for a coach who learns that there is more to life than just winning. Since the film enjoyed a modicum of success, the… Read more “D2: The Mighty Ducks, by Albert W. Vogt III”
The Mighty Ducks, by Albert W. Vogt III
One of my father’s unspoken regrets is that I never became the skater he was when he was younger. Growing up in the more rural parts of the Chicago suburbs, one of the winter pastimes for him and his peers was playing hockey. Anywhere there was enough solid ice (and sometimes not so solid), there they would… Read more “The Mighty Ducks, by Albert W. Vogt III”
10 Things I Hate About You, by Albert W. Vogt III
Poor William Shakespeare. Or perhaps I should be offering him congratulations? The long dead, but still arguably the most famous author in the world, wrote some of the most famous lines ever. If you were to look up the etymology of many of the most often used clichés in the English language, you can trace many of them… Read more “10 Things I Hate About You, by Albert W. Vogt III”
Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters, by Albert W. Vogt III
In the early 2000s, the Cartoon Network came up with the novel idea of showing animated shows late at night that were themed for adults. It made sense. After a certain time of the day, their target audience is usually in bed. Hence, how do you fill the other twelve hours or so of the day where they are not… Read more “Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters, by Albert W. Vogt III”
No Time to Die, by Albert W. Vogt III
It has been a difficult week. In order to talk about it fully (but not too fully), understand up front that I am going to have to spoil No Time to Die for you. Then again, if you are a regular reader of The Legionnaire, you are probably used to this happening. My grandmother passed away recently, and I traveled for… Read more “No Time to Die, by Albert W.
