Flipped, by Albert W. Vogt III
As the old cliché goes, life is a funny thing. We can think one way about something today, and later have the opposite opinion. That sounds like the perfect set up for a movie like Flipped (2010), and you will see why in a moment. I would simply add here that it is a concept…
Father of the Bride (1991), by Albert W. Vogt III
Of course, there is nothing new in Hollywood. With stars like Diane Keaton and Steve Martin, I thought Father of the Bride (1991) to be the first iteration of the title. For some strange reason, it is also a movie I remember from my childhood, even if I do not specifically recall seeing it. More…
Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre, by Albert W. Vogt III
Despite all the cinematic evidence to the contrary, when I think about Jason Statham, what first comes to mind is not all his action films. Instead, I remember him in Snatch (2000). I suppose he could have played Irish boxer Mickey O’Neil (Brad Pitt) given everything Statham has been in since that movie. Arguably, I…
The Pride and the Passion, by Albert W. Vogt III
Just when I thought I had seen all Cary Grant films, I spot his face while scrolling through Amazon Prime, attached to a movie called The Pride and the Passion (1957). Being a fan of his work, it seemed like a natural choice. Further, it is about the Napoleonic Wars, the historical period that first…
The Bucket List, by Albert W. Vogt III
A title like The Bucket List (2007) says it all. However, there is a chicken or egg discussion to be had about this movie, at least as far as my memory is concerned. You see, it is around this time that the notion of listing all the things you would like to do before you…
Ghosts of Mississippi, by Albert W. Vogt III
Too often, history has shown that somebody seeking to disrupt the status quo is reacted against in a violent manner. Jesus experienced this, and He suffered His Passion as a result. Sadly, throughout the centuries, those blazing a path for justice have been killed for their efforts. Because they do so, they allow for others…
The Island at the Top of the World, by Albert W. Vogt III
There are more Disney films than you probably know. Go onto Disney+ some time, scroll through the options, and see for yourself. How many of you have heard of The Cat from Outerspace (1978)? What about Emil and the Detectives (1964)? Those are just two examples of many from which I could have chosen. As…
