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…
In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale, by Albert W. Vogt III
There is a bit from The Benny Hill Show (1955-1989, roughly) where there is a purposeful attempt to make the worst film possible. Sets are constantly falling, the camera is never positioned where it should be, and the actors and actresses deliver their lines in the most ridiculous way, among other issues. It is hilarious,…
Enola Holmes 3, by Albert W. Vogt III
Here is a head scratcher for you: which character has more cinematic representations? Is it Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s famous detective, Sherlock Holmes (Henry Cavill), or the legendary medieval brigand, Robin Hood? There is one commonality between them in that they are English.

Then again, the country’s climate has little to do with the plot, although from watching it, one would wonder why anyone lives in that part of the…
Prospect, by Albert W. Vogt III
Sometimes, I take too much time hunting for a film. After seeing so many movies, I can tell a lot about a title simply by looking at a thumbnail. This is a candid admission. I am, in effect, judging a book by its cover, cinematically speaking. This is not how God wants us to view…
Scary Movie (2026), by Cameron J. Czaja
While I do enjoy a good blockbuster, arthouse drama, animated film, or even, to a lesser degree, horror film in theaters, one genre that I enjoy that I don’t get to relish much on the silver screen are comedies. Now, when I talk about comedies, I don’t mean a Marvel film or an action film…
Guns Akimbo, by Albert W. Vogt III
American sociologist Robert K. Merton is credited with developing what is commonly referred to as “The Law of Unintended Consequences.” It is not all as bad as it might sound. Sometimes, the actions we take lead to a surprising result. This is only one of three possible outcomes, however, and the others are not positive. …
