Men in Black 3, by Albert W. Vogt III

A few months ago, there was a priest living and working in Washington D.C. who made the claim that “many, if not most” unidentified flying object (UFO) sightings are demons.  He stated this on social media and was then removed from his post with the St. Michael Center for Spiritual Renewal.  If this sounds like…

Rachel Getting Married, by Albert W. Vogt III

The last thing one could call me is an expert on weddings, though I have been in my share of them.  What I have not done is plan one, and this is why I was perplexed by Rachel Getting Married (2008).  Before continuing, it should be noted that the film is not really about the…

Person to Person, by Albert W. Vogt III

Because I am currently visiting my home town of Chicago, I have been in the mood for watching films with an urban setting.  Thus, after some extensive flipping through the slow scrolling service of Netflix in my hotel room, I landed on Person to Person (2017).  I just went to Confession today, so I am…

Holmes & Watson, by Albert W. Vogt III

When it comes to stories about arguably the greatest detective to ever spring from the pages of fiction, give me Benedict Cumberbatch’s Sherlock (2010-2017).  A close second would be the few movies featuring the same character, Sherlock Holmes (2009), with Robert Downey Jr. in the title role, reprising it in 2011 with Sherlock Holmes: A…

The Fugitive, by Albert W. Vogt III

If you have ever heard the phrase, “It wasn’t me, it was the one-armed man!” then know that it is from The Fugitive (1993).  Actually, to be more precise, it was from The Fugitive (1963-1967).  Confused yet?  If you are, then I recommend learning more about American Popular Culture, which I used to teach a…

Balls of Fury, by Albert W. Vogt III

Did you know there is a spoof film made in 2007 about ping-pong called Balls of Fury?  As a Catholic movie reviewer, it is one that I have been avoiding simply because of the title.  It is one that I saw in my misspent younger years, but now that I am older and supposedly more…

Motor City, by Cameron J. Czaja

When it comes to watching theatrical films, my go-to movie theater chain is AMC Theaters. I’m part of the AMC Stubs A-List, which is a subscription that allows me to watch up to four movies a week. Honestly, it’s one of my favorite services that I have at the moment. Additionally, I get frequent notifications via…
