On paper, Point Break (1991) is a mad idea for a movie. It is about a group of surfers who rob banks, and the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) agent… Read more “Point Break (1991), by Albert W. Vogt III”
Author: Albert W. Vogt III, Ph.D.
Greetings! If you are wondering why the funny robes, it is because I have a Ph.D. in American History from Loyola University Chicago. While there, I wrote my dissertation on Catholics in film. With this blog I intend to bring my Catholic perspective to current film content.
Jurassic Park III, by Albert W. Vogt III
The best thing I can say for Jurassic Park III (2001) is that it reunited a broken marriage. Divorce is not something Catholicism is keen on, so as a Catholic… Read more “Jurassic Park III, by Albert W. Vogt III”
The Lost World: Jurassic Park, by Albert W. Vogt III
Why they did not call The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997) simply “Jurassic Park II,” I could not tell you. I can theorize, however. There is a 1960 movie called The Lost… Read more “The Lost World: Jurassic Park, by Albert W. Vogt III”

Candy Jar, by Albert W. Vogt III
We all put undue pressure on ourselves. Even by writing that opening sentence, I have already done so to myself. I invariably use a dropped capital for my first… Read more “Candy Jar, by Albert W. Vogt III”
Death Wish, by Albert W. Vogt III
There is a lot to say about Death Wish (1974), and little of it is positive. It has, to my knowledge, one of the most graphic depictions of rape in… Read more “Death Wish, by Albert W. Vogt III”
