Scottish Mussel, by Albert W. Vogt III
When it comes to selecting films to review on streaming services, anything that is set in another country, particularly one that I have visited, is attractive to me. This has led to me picking some strange movies. Today’s option, Scottish Mussel (2015), is one such choice. I had some trepidation going into it, thinking the…
Space Sweepers, by Albert W. Vogt III
Despite my love for Star Wars and Marvel movies like the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise, I am not much of a science fiction fan. Indeed, while thinking of how to contextualize the previous statement, I was wracking my brain trying to come up with other examples from that genre that I enjoy. I am…
The Long Walk Home, by Albert W. Vogt III
When I see a movie like The Long Walk Home (1990), I often feel everyone should see it. It is about the Montgomery Bus Boycott of 1955-1956, the event that launched the career of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (not pictured, archived audio), and was a key moment in the civil rights movement in the…
Mortal Kombat II, by Cameron J. Czaja
I’ve mentioned in a previous review, probably The Super Mario Bros. Movie (2023), that I grew up on video game culture, and I continue to play them whenever I have free time. As of May 2026, I currently own a PlayStation 5 and a Nintendo Switch. Hopefully, I can get a Nintendo Switch 2 in…
30Minutes or Less, by Albert W. Vogt III
What would make 30 Minutes or Less (2011) better would be is if it lived up to its title in its runtime. That is mean of me to say, and not very Christian. If I may be slightly more generous, I intended that comment in the spirit of the film’s lack of originality. At least…
Slap Shot, by Albert W. Vogt III
If there is another movie about minor league hockey other than Slap Shot (1977), other than its sequels, then I am unaware of it. Based on the original, I am not sure we should consider the subsequent titles. Either way, it is one of the unique reasons why I chose to review it. A few…
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…
