    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”

    For the Love of the Game, by Albert W. Vogt III

    In baseball, a good hitter is a player that fails seventy percent of the time.  For every ten appearances at the plate, they will hit the ball safely… Read more “For the Love of the Game, by Albert W. Vogt III”

    Heathers, by Albert W. Vogt III

    Though I was born in the 1980s, I cannot say that I am a keen student of films of that era.  I did not see The Breakfast Club (1985) until… Read more “Heathers, by Albert W. Vogt III”

    A Conclave Review*

    The title of this review of Conclave (2024) is not meant to be a nod to the more recently released Thunderbolts*.  The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) used the asterisk to denote… Read more “A Conclave Review*”

    The Journey of Natty Gann, by Albert W. Vogt III

    With the current state of world affairs, I was in the mood for something less complicated.  Where does one turn for such fare?  Naturally, the likely source is Disney.  The… Read more “The Journey of Natty Gann, by Albert W. Vogt III”

    Fargo, by Albert W. Vogt III

    Fargo (1996) is, in many respects, the reason I started The Legionnaire.  When it was released, it garnered critical and popular attention, nominated for six Academy Awards (winning two) and… Read more “Fargo, by Albert W. Vogt III”

    Thunderbolts*, by Albert W. Vogt III

    Something I have not said about a Marvel movie in some time is that it is good, or that I enjoyed it.  It is a shame, too, because… Read more “Thunderbolts*, by Albert W. Vogt III”

    Hoosiers, by Albert W. Vogt III

    When Gene Hackman recently passed away, the first film I thought of was Hoosiers (1986).  Indeed, I am a little surprised at myself for not having already reviewed it.  It is… Read more “Hoosiers, by Albert W. Vogt III”
