    Gods of Egypt, by Albert W. Vogt III

    When I began seeing trailers for Gods of Egypt (2016), I recall feeling a distinct desire to want to avoid it at all costs.  This is not because of my… Read more “Gods of Egypt, by Albert W. Vogt III”

    Invincible, by Albert W. Vogt III

    Underdog stories may be cliché, but they are often satisfying.  When you think about it, Jesus fits this mold.  According to Scripture, nobody expected the Messiah to be from… Read more “Invincible, by Albert W. Vogt III”

    Remember the Titans, by Albert W. Vogt III

    We need to Remember the Titans (2000).  It is a sobering thought to think that this film is set in 1971.  In 1954, the United States Supreme Court struck down segregation… Read more “Remember the Titans, by Albert W. Vogt III”

    The Rebound, by Albert W. Vogt III

    Firebrand, by Albert W. Vogt III

    My apologies for spoiling Firebrand (2023) at the outset, but Katherine Parr (Alicia Vikander) did not kill King Henry VIII (Jude Law).  There are some other aspects that also stretch… Read more “Firebrand, by Albert W. Vogt III”

    Stargate, by Albert W. Vogt III

    When thinking of the most successful science fiction franchises of all time, the ones that probably first come to mind are Star Trek and Star Wars.  One could also probably put… Read more “Stargate, by Albert W. Vogt III”

    Inherit the Wind (1999), by Albert W. Vogt III

    There is a lot to say about Inherit the Wind (1999), but I will start with the Scripture from which the title is derived.  It is Proverbs 11:29, and the… Read more “Inherit the Wind (1999), by Albert W. Vogt III”

    Mad Max, by Albert W. Vogt III

    What defines a dystopia?  One way you can describe is by its opposite: utopia.  A synonym for utopia could be Heaven, but that is not possible in this existence.  God… Read more “Mad Max, by Albert W. Vogt III”

    Pretty Woman, by Albert W. Vogt III

    The Fantastic Four: First Steps, by Albert W. Vogt III

    As my ticket to see The Fantastic Four: First Steps was scanned, they handed me a pair of 3-D glasses.  “Rats,” I said under my breath, though I should have… Read more “The Fantastic Four: First Steps, by Albert W. Vogt III”
