Van Helsing, by Albert W. Vogt III
On Halloween night, I got a random text from one of my great friends asking what I thought of Van Helsing (2004). I confessed to having never seen it. Her and her husband were watching it that night, and one of her comments was that it is a Catholic movie. They are practicing Catholics, and I trust them implicitly. Now, I… Read more “Van Helsing, by Albert W. Vogt III”
RoboCop (1987), by Albert W. Vogt III
Annoyingly, when I look up titles on Amazon Prime on the television, I have to scroll to each letter. I use a Roku remote app that I downloaded to my phone, and every other app for which I use it brings up a keypad when searching its library. Disney +, Netflix, even the ESPN service all give… Read more “RoboCop (1987), by Albert W. Vogt III”
Encanto, by Albert W. Vogt III
There was somewhat of a role reversal for The Legionnaire this past weekend. Usually, Cameron would be the one to see the animated films given my distaste for them. Yet, the past few days had another unusual twist in terms of my typical movie going experience: company. Under normal circumstances, I will look forward to seeing a movie like House of… Read more “Encanto, by Albert W. Vogt III”
Be Cool, by Albert W. Vogt III
Ah, sequels. There are those who, when they see a movie they like, they immediately want a follow up to the story. Then there are others, often self-styled movie snobs, who think a part two ruins the aesthetics of its predecessor. I get it. I am not sure on which side of the fence I fall. If there is a… Read more “Be Cool, by Albert W. Vogt III”
Get Shorty, by Albert W. Vogt III
Once in a while, when in search of inspiration, I will go scrolling through the various offerings on the streaming services to which I subscribe. More often than not, doing so turns up a bunch of titles that I have zero interest in viewing, unless suggested by you, my loyal readers. Sometimes, I will notice a film… Read more “Get Shorty, by Albert W. Vogt III”
Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie, by Albert W. Vogt III
How does one explain Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie (1996)? It is a bona fide film, with a big-time production studio, release, and everything else you would expect from Hollywood. Such a description alone, though, would be quite misleading. The movie is based on a television show of the same name (before the colon) that began in the late… Read more “Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie, by Albert W. Vogt III”
Black Dynamite, by Albert W. Vogt III
Full disclosure up front: I do not recommend Black Dynamite (2009). For starters, unless you are familiar with the 1970s so-called “blacksploitation” films it spoofs, you might be a bit lost. Related to that, it relies heavily on you understanding the racial stereotypes it underscores to make its point. If you watch this without a working knowledge of these things,… Read more “Black Dynamite, by Albert W. Vogt III”
