    Easy A, by Albert W. Vogt III

    One of the many maxims with which we are brought up is that “honesty if the best policy.”  Whether you are a practicing Catholic like me, or someone… Read more “Easy A, by Albert W. Vogt III”

    What Women Want, by Albert W. Vogt III

    Be Kind Rewind, by Albert W. Vogt III

    My first exposure to director Michel Gondry’s work was Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004).  I love that movie.  Such is my admiration for that work that I was pumped… Read more “Be Kind Rewind, by Albert W. Vogt III”

    The Bells of St. Mary’s, by Albert W. Vogt III

    When Harry Met Sally, by Albert W. Vogt III

    One of the first things you see in When Harry Met Sally (1989) is the campus of the University of Chicago.  This got me geeked.  I tried twice, unsuccessfully, to get… Read more “When Harry Met Sally, by Albert W. Vogt III”

    Easter Sunday, by Albert W. Vogt III
