    Old Yeller, by Albert W. Vogt III

    Nobody likes to see an animal, especially a pet, die in a movie.  If you do, well, I will pray for you.  Of course, there are caveats.  If they are… Read more “Old Yeller, by Albert W. Vogt III”

    Jackpot!, by Albert W. Vogt III

    Jackpot! is violent and vulgar, and it should be watched.  It should not be viewed by all audiences.  Specifically, the film should not be shown to minors.  However, if you are… Read more “Jackpot!, by Albert W. Vogt III”

    The Crow (2024), by Albert W. Vogt III

    There is a lot of bad pseudo-theology about death.  In the West, much of this has been borrowed from Christianity.  People have taken whatever pieces of the religion, broadly… Read more “The Crow (2024), by Albert W. Vogt III”

    Argo, by Albert W. Vogt III

    While on a recent plane ride between Florida and my childhood home, Chicago, I decided to revisit Argo (2012).  I saw it in the theater, mainly because I enjoyed Ben… Read more “Argo, by Albert W. Vogt III”

    My Favorite Brunette, by Albert W. Vogt III

    The unfortunately titled My Favorite Brunette (1947) marks the tenth movie I have seen with Bob Hope and Dorothy Lamour in it.  My interest is more in Lamour, not simply… Read more “My Favorite Brunette, by Albert W. Vogt III”

    Caught in the Draft, by Albert W. Vogt III

    Christianity famously teaches followers of Jesus to “turn the other cheek.”  In case you did not know this already, that comes directly from the Bible, Matthew 5:39.  In this… Read more “Caught in the Draft, by Albert W. Vogt III”

    Alien: Romulus, by Albert W. Vogt III

    As a rule, and one I have stated in many reviews, I avoid horror flicks.  One movie that can get me to break that protocol is an installment… Read more “Alien: Romulus, by Albert W. Vogt III”

    The Road to Hong Kong, by Albert W. Vogt III

    There is the old cliché about quitting while you are ahead.  As such sayings can be ambiguous as to their meaning, I will provide you some examples as… Read more “The Road to Hong Kong, by Albert W. Vogt III”

    Road to Utopia, by Albert W. Vogt III

    When I saw the title of the fourth installment of the Road to . . . series, Road to Utopia (1945), it gave this practicing Catholic pause.  “Utopia” is a loaded word,… Read more “Road to Utopia, by Albert W. Vogt III”

    Road to Zanzibar, by Albert W. Vogt III

    There are more culturally degrading films than Road to Zanzibar (1941), though it is not as bad as some of the more self-consciously racist pictures around.  Much of how I… Read more “Road to Zanzibar, by Albert W. Vogt III”
