    Just My Luck, by Albert W. Vogt III

    In 2 Chronicles 33, it talks about the impiety of Manasseh, one of the line of Davidic kings to rule Israel in the centuries before Jesus.  He is… Read more “Just My Luck, by Albert W. Vogt III”

    Fountain of Youth, by Albert W. Vogt III

    Where to even begin with Fountain of Youth?  If you happen to see it in its entirety, you will note that it smacks of a number of influences.  It is… Read more “Fountain of Youth, by Albert W. Vogt III”

    22 Jump Street, by Albert W. Vogt III

    The running gag in 22 Jump Street (2014) is that it is going to be exactly like “the last time.”  It is a self-aware joke about it being a sequel… Read more “22 Jump Street, by Albert W. Vogt III”

    Good Morning, Vietnam, by Albert W. Vogt III

    Today’s choice of film, Good Morning, Vietnam (1987), was inspired by the fact that it is Memorial Day.  In case you are not aware, we celebrate this date as the… Read more “Good Morning, Vietnam, by Albert W. Vogt III”

    The Hating Game, by Albert W. Vogt III

    Yes, another romantic comedy.  As is probably expected, The Hating Game is not much different than its cinematic cousins.  Further, the title gave me trepidation as a practicing Catholic.  Hatred is not… Read more “The Hating Game, by Albert W. Vogt III”

    Lilo & Stitch (2025), by Albert W. Vogt III

    The recent history of Disney making live action versions of their classics has not been great.  Last March, the Mouse unveiled the non-animated Snow White (2025) to seemingly universal scorn.  I… Read more “Lilo & Stitch (2025), by Albert W. Vogt III”

    Yes Man, by Albert W. Vogt III

    Admittedly, the reason I said “yes” to Yes Man (2008) was because of Zooey Deschanel.  I had the same thought process in 2008 when I saw it in the theater… Read more “Yes Man, by Albert W. Vogt III”

    Mallrats, by Albert W. Vogt III

    There is a film franchise that I have never gotten into, and remains somewhat on the fringes of popular culture.  It begins with Clerks (1994), which was written and directed… Read more “Mallrats, by Albert W. Vogt III”

    Another Version of You, by Albert W. Vogt III

    God made you to be the person you are right now.  Logically, we cannot be anyone else no matter how much we might wish for it.  I know I… Read more “Another Version of You, by Albert W. Vogt III”

    Begin Again, by Albert W. Vogt III

    The reason I chose Begin Again (2013) is because of the title.  Spiritually speaking, it is something God offers to all Christians in any circumstance, though us Catholics have a… Read more “Begin Again, by Albert W. Vogt III”
