Eternally Yours, by Albert W. Vogt III
Watching classic films shows you that the Hollywood of yesteryear was not all that different than what it is today, in one narrow sense. That is a sideways way of saying it is totally different. Where they intersect is in the way stars are still stars. Still, not all these leading lights are as memorable…
Thirty Day Princess, by Albert W. Vogt III
Another Cary Grant film review, and another fun movie-watching experience. I have to be careful, though, as there are a dangerously low number of his films left for me to discuss. This is only my way of saying, once again, how much I appreciate his work. I do not look at it the same way…
7500, by Albert W. Vogt III
Recently, there was an attempted hijacking of a flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv, Israel. It was, and is, a desperate act of a people who believe that violence is the only way to redress wrongs. To that end, there is an apropos quote often attributed to Mahatma Gandhi at the beginning of the film:…

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. I seem to repeat this message often, but my persistence is not without reason. Because the Church still believes in the Bible and takes a different stance than is common on a few…
The Last Kingdom: Seven Kings Must Die, by Albert W. Vogt III
One of the things I love about England is its history. While completing my Ph.D. studies in American History at Loyola University Chicago, I added a minor field in Early Modern England. While I do enjoy the subject, having the highly regarded Dr. Robert Bucholz as a professor there also helped make my decision to…
