Violent Night, by Albert W. Vogt III
When I first say the trailer for Violent Night, I thought it was a joke. With my mouth slightly agape for a few seconds afterwards, I seriously believed that what I witnessed, like Santa Clause himself, was not real. We Catholics have the genuine article of St. Nicholas, but for all intents and purposes, none of the traditions… Read more “Violent Night, by Albert W. Vogt III”
Interstellar, by Albert W. Vogt III
There are movies that I frankly do not understand. There was also a time in my life when that would have aggravated me. One of the benefits of growing in Faith is becoming more in tune with how God sees you. I can, in no way, shape, or form tell you that I have completed this process. The… Read more “Interstellar, by Albert W. Vogt III”
Baby Mama, by Albert W. Vogt III
My love of Parks and Recreation (2009-2015) is well documented. If you are new to The Legionnaire, now you know. It is because of the dear place that show holds in my heart that I noticed a long-forgotten film from the deep recesses of my memory, Baby Mama (2008). It stars two best friends who are that way both on and off the… Read more “Baby Mama, by Albert W. Vogt III”
Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, by Albert W. Vogt III
Before you go thinking that I am getting soft on Disney, let me offer to you some valid reasons for watching Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937). Foremost, it was the first color anything to be shown in movie theaters. Think about that for a second. Today, we take for granted that what we see on the screen is… Read more “Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, by Albert W. Vogt III”
The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special, by Albert W. Vogt III
If The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special is not a movie, then I am not sure what else to call it. Granted, at only forty minutes in run time, it is not what you would call feature length. I have to confess to having a not an insignificant amount of trepidation going into watching it. There may be some… Read more “The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special, by Albert W. Vogt III”
Devotion, by Albert W. Vogt III
Whenever there is a new animated movie out, the first people I turn to are my nieces. Call me crazy, but I do not want to be that guy who sits in the corner of a theater by himself seeing a kid’s movie about which I care little. Hence, earlier in the day I took my niece… Read more “Devotion, by Albert W. Vogt III”
Pocahontas II: Journey to a New World, by Albert W. Vogt III
If you pay attention to such things, you might notice that Disney often puts out sequels to its so-called animated classics. They rarely get much press or are seen in theaters. Instead, they are cynical cash grabs hoping to capitalize on most people’s lack of attention to detail. You can picture the scenario, right? A careworn mother of three… Read more “Pocahontas II: Journey to a New World, by Albert W. Vogt III”
