Glory, by Albert W. Vogt III
Please let me know in the comments below, or on social media, if I have mentioned before the fact that I used to be a Civil War reenactor. Given the stigma attached to this small subset of Americans in recent years with the rush to tear down all monuments to the Confederacy, let me make it… Read more “Glory, by Albert W. Vogt III”
The Manchurian candidate (1962), by Albert W. Vogt III
When I first put on The Manchurian Candidate (1962), the old man I live with commented that I appeared to be on an “overthrow the government” kick. I replied to this false accusation by simply stating that I am watching what you all suggest. I am also aware that there is a 2004 remake of this film starring Denzel… Read more “The Manchurian candidate (1962), by Albert W. Vogt III”
Snakes Eyes: G. I. Joe Origins, by Albert W. Vogt III
Call me pleasantly surprised. As I had zero intentions of seeing M. Knight Shyamalan’s Old, I resigned myself to what I assumed would be an eye-roll fest with Snake Eyes: G. I. Joe Origins. I loved the G. I. Joe cartoon growing up, and the enigmatic Snake Eyes was always a favorite. Okay, I just used a few words that are probably… Read more “Snakes Eyes: G. I. Joe Origins, by Albert W.

Luca, by Cameron J. Czaja
With movie theaters slowly reopening across the globe, my trips to the cinema have slowly increased significantly in the past few months. In fact, just the other week I watched three films in theaters, which is something I did regularly pre-COVID. Unfortunately, the film that I’m about to review did not come out in theaters (due… Read more “Luca, by Cameron J. Czaja”

If you are reading this and saying to yourself, wait, what suggestions, I suggest you head over to The Legionnaire’s Facebook page, or find us on Twitter, and recommend as many films as… Read more “Seven Days in May, by Albert W.

The Proposal, by Albert W. Vogt III
Most Ryan Reynolds films feature the star wise cracking his way through comedic set-ups or action sequences. The first film I remember him in is one that I would rather forget about, that being Van Wilder (2002), with him playing the title role. It is one of those wild, irreverent, salacious college films. The next was in a supporting role… Read more “The Proposal, by Albert W. Vogt III”
Alien, by Albert W. Vogt III
Ah, the 1970s, or at least the tail end of that decade. When Alien (1979) premiered, it was a mere two years after arguably the granddaddy of all cinematic franchises, Star Wars, made its debut. If you think cinema attendance is bad today, take a look at the numbers from the advent of television to 1977 when Star Wars: Episode IV… Read more “Alien, by Albert W. Vogt III”
