    Although I am happy for Gigi (Ginnifer Goodwin) by the end of He’s Just Not That Into You (2009), who also acts as the narrator, it is ultimately a… Read more “He’s Just Not That Into You, by Albert W. Vogt III”

    The Haunted Mansion, by Albert W. Vogt III

    Before there was Haunted Mansion, there was The Haunted Mansion (2003).  Before this, there was the Haunted Mansion and the Haunted Mansion.  The first is the most recent cinematic interpretation of a… Read more “The Haunted Mansion, by Albert W. Vogt III”

    Ralph Breaks the Internet, by Albert W. Vogt III

    To say that Ralph Breaks the Internet (2018) is like The Matrix (1999) is funny, but not quite accurate.  I only bring up the famous Wachowski sisters film because it is the… Read more “Ralph Breaks the Internet, by Albert W. Vogt III”

    Tarzan, by Albert W. Vogt III

    At the end of Tarzan (1999), a few slides into the credits, you will see the statement that the movie is based on the novel Tarzan of the Apes (1912) by… Read more “Tarzan, by Albert W. Vogt III”

    Hercules, by Albert W. Vogt III

    What do you get when you toss the entirety of Greek mythology into the seething cauldron that is Walt Disney Productions?  You get Hercules (1997).  I can imagine ancient Greek scholars… Read more “Hercules, by Albert W. Vogt III”

    The Rescuers, by Albert W. Vogt III

    Like everything else, the animated features released by Walt Disney have had their peaks and valleys.  Its highest point was arguably under the man himself, who exercised tight… Read more “The Rescuers, by Albert W. Vogt III”

    Eat, Pray, Love, by Albert W. Vogt III

    Before writing this review of Eat, Pray, Love (2010), I read what some other Catholic thinkers had to say about the film. As will hopefully become apparent from the rest… Read more “Eat, Pray, Love, by Albert W. Vogt III”

    Aladdin (1992), by Albert W. Vogt III

    For a notorious Disney curmudgeon like myself, I was surprised to enjoy one small aspect of Aladdin (1992).  I cannot emphasize enough how limited is what I liked about it,… Read more “Aladdin (1992), by Albert W. Vogt III”

    The Aristocats, by Albert W. Vogt III

    When you are pressed for time and you review movies, never underestimate classic Disney animated films.  At the same time, I have done many of them.  When you think… Read more “The Aristocats, by Albert W. Vogt III”
