    The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, by Albert W. Vogt III

    What do you get when you cross a Quentin Tarantino film with James Bond?  In short, it is The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare.  Whenever you have such familiar comparisons, one… Read more “The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, by Albert W. Vogt III”

    The Amazing Spider-Man 2, by Albert W. Vogt III

    As of this writing, it is the Wednesday of Holy Week.  I bring up this date to contextualize the emotional reaction I had to The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (03/27/2024).  At my… Read more “The Amazing Spider-Man 2, by Albert W. Vogt III”

    Spider-Man 3, by Albert W. Vogt III
