Project Hail Mary, by Albert W. Vogt III
With a title like Project Hail Mary, we have a movie that is almost tailormade for a Catholic reviewer. On the other hand, I suspect that is not the first thought among those who see it, or at least come across the name. It is a shame, too, because there is plenty of material in…
The Astronaut, by Albert W. Vogt III
There are some days, weeks even, where time is at a premium. Indeed, that seems increasingly to be the case for most of us, does it not? It feels as if we never have enough minutes in the day to do anything. For this Catholic reviewer, most often this leads me to choosing films of…
Sisterhood, Inc., by Albert W. Vogt III

A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood, by Albert W. Vogt III
When you are one Catholic reviewer, sometimes you have to make difficult decisions regarding which film you will watch in the theater.
