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
You just never know about people. This fact is a major reason why God tells us not to judge people. In Matthew 7:1-6, Jesus clearly tells us to be careful about how we think of others. He adds that our own foibles, which he calls the “wooden beam” in our own eyes, makes it nearly…
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

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…
Black Sheep, by Albert W. Vogt III
Whenever I need to be reminded of how dumb I was when I was young, I re-read 1 Corinthian 13:11: “When I was a child, I used to talk as a child, think as a child, reason as a child; when I became a man, I put aside childish things.” With this in mind, today…
The Breaker Upperers, by Albert W. Vogt III
That is a weird title, right? The Breaker Upperers (2018) is a comedy set in New Zealand, which is a familiar yet strange place in and of itself. If you see this movie, you will notice the influence of American culture, but a style of humor that is foreign despite them speaking the same language. …
