30Minutes or Less, by Albert W. Vogt III
What would make 30 Minutes or Less (2011) better would be is if it lived up to its title in its runtime. That is mean of me to say, and not very Christian. If I may be slightly more generous, I intended that comment in the spirit of the film’s lack of originality. At least…
Slap Shot, by Albert W. Vogt III
If there is another movie about minor league hockey other than Slap Shot (1977), other than its sequels, then I am unaware of it. Based on the original, I am not sure we should consider the subsequent titles. Either way, it is one of the unique reasons why I chose to review it. A few…
The Lazarus Project, by Albert W. Vogt III
When I looked up The Lazarus Project (2008) on Wikipedia, I had to chuckle. One of the subheadings on the film’s page is listed as “Themes.” If you are a Christian, you might have already guessed where this is going. The title is an oblique reference to John 11:1-44, which details how Jesus raised his…
Just Before I Go, by Albert W. Vogt III

Hot Pursuit (2015), by Albert W. Vogt III
It figures that there are other movies called Hot Pursuit (2015). I have no idea what the others are like. The only reason I know about this 2015 version is because I kept passing it while scrolling through Amazon Prime. Still, one can only resist a film that is a little over eighty minutes for…
The Trench, by Albert W. Vogt III
If you pay attention to the news at all, you might have heard something the vice president of the United States, J. D. Vance, refer to as the “Just War Theory.” My fear with the attention this is receiving is that people will take from it that the Church basically has a framework for approving…
Nothing but Trouble (1944), by Albert W. Vogt III
One of the first films I reviewed for The Legionnaire was Stan & Ollie (2018). This was back when I would only put out one post a week, and they would only be new releases. That was early 2019, even though the release year given is 2018. That sometimes happens with January premiers. At any…
