    Blood & Gold, by Albert W. Vogt III

    Normally, I avoid foreign films, unless they are dubbed.  This has nothing to do with personal tastes or prejudice.  While I watch movies, I take notes.  Doing so runs the… Read more “Blood & Gold, by Albert W. Vogt III”

    Good Fortune, by Albert W. Vogt III

    Out of Africa, by Albert W. Vogt III

    When I have the time, I will tackle a longer film like Out of Africa (1985).  Actually, in doing more research about it, I was surprised that it did not… Read more “Out of Africa, by Albert W. Vogt III”
