Vampires vs. the Bronx, by Albert W. Vogt III
Before you say no, let me tell you more about Vampires vs. the Bronx (2020). I know the title might have put you off. I cannot deny feeling any different, and that is without taking into consideration my latest distaste for horror flicks. Two things initially swayed me in putting it on: latent fatigue from…
Mr. 3000, by Albert W. Vogt III
The player with the most hits in Major League Baseball (MLB) is Pete Rose. Over the course of his twenty-four-year career with the Cincinnati Reds and Philadelphia Phillies, he garnered 4,256 base hits. Breaking that number down statistically, that equals roughly 177 per year and a lifetime batting average of .303. Known as “Charlie Hustle,”…
Ready or Not 2: Here I Come, by Albert W. Vogt III
Despite Cameron having reviewed Ready or Not (2019), I have a vague recollection of having watched it. This is unusual for me since it is considered a horror, albeit with a comedic angle.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day, by Albert W. Vogt III

Hamnet, by Albert W. Vogt III
History attempts to give explanations as to why past events happened. Please note that it is not simply a telling of what happened. Why and what are two different forms of inquiry, and only one is truly useful. For example, since we are currently in the midst of the United States’ 250th anniversary, what possible…
The Wedding Planner, by Albert W. Vogt III
The Catholic Church teaches that women have more options than being married to a man. That is not to impugn the institution of marriage, for it is as vital of a Sacrament as any of the rest. What I am responding to are the regressive stereotypes attached to Christianity that says that the sole path…
