Just Buried, by Albert W. Vogt III
One title that I have been skipping over while perusing the streaming services is Just Buried (2007). Mainly, my avoidance is due to a lack of familiarity. Though I have reviewed plenty of obscure movies, most of the time I try to go for something with some semblance of popularity. While there are a few…
Dangerous Minds, by Albert W. Vogt III
If you think about late 1990s rap, I am guessing one of the songs that comes to mind is “Gangsta’s Paradise” by Coolio. It was ubiquitous at the end of the last century, so much so that it was spoofed by “Weird Al” Yankovic into Amish paradise. That was funny twenty-five years ago, though as…
Apex, by Albert W. Vogt III
There is a cardinal rule about doing almost anything in the wilderness: never go it alone. This is true for nearly any outdoor activity, from climbing the highest mountains to a simple hike through the countryside. I also like this advice as a Catholic since, as followers of Jesus, we always have a companion. Plenty…

Indeed, while thinking of how to contextualize the previous statement, I was wracking my brain trying to come up with other examples from that genre that I enjoy. I am…
The Long Walk Home, by Albert W. Vogt III
When I see a movie like The Long Walk Home (1990), I often feel everyone should see it. It is about the Montgomery Bus Boycott of 1955-1956, the event that launched the career of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (not pictured, archived audio), and was a key moment in the civil rights movement in the…
Mortal Kombat II, by Cameron J. Czaja
I’ve mentioned in a previous review, probably The Super Mario Bros. Movie (2023), that I grew up on video game culture, and I continue to play them whenever I have free time. As of May 2026, I currently own a PlayStation 5 and a Nintendo Switch. Hopefully, I can get a Nintendo Switch 2 in…
