In the Heights (Part 2), by Albert W. Vogt III
No, they have not already made a sequel to In the Heights. The other night I got home from watching another run-of-the-mill Hollywood offering in The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard and wanted something special. Because I have a subscription to HBO Max, I thought what could be better than In the Heights? It is certainly the best movie I have seen so far… Read more “In the Heights (Part 2), by Albert W.

In the Heights, by Albert W. Vogt III
Once more, for the record: I do not enjoy musicals. Yet, I chose In the Heights this weekend because I figured it would be the biggest release of the weekend. I mean, I suppose I could have seen Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway, but since I never watched its predecessor, I thought I would be… Read more “In the Heights, by Albert W. Vogt III”
Beauty and the Beast (1991), by Albert W. Vogt III
Another classic Disney film I have never seen has fallen. This time it is Beauty and the Beast (1991). Actually, I saw Beauty and the Beast (2017) before, but I guess the live action version does not count. Because I am only a lukewarm Disney fan at best (despite my commercial habits), I never understood… Read more “Beauty and the Beast (1991), by Albert W. Vogt III”
The Little Mermaid, by Albert W. Vogt III
The Little Mermaid (1989) is a good movie, but I do not care for it. I feel like I need to tread carefully here because I have too many friends that love this movie, and the last thing I want to do is upset them. But we all have those films, no? The ones that everyone acknowledges is good… Read more “The Little Mermaid, by Albert W. Vogt III”
Mary Poppins, by Albert W. Vogt III
Perhaps I reviewed them backwards, having done Saving Mr. Banks (2013) first. Oh well. I blame it on all of you, though I mean that in an entirely humorous fashion. I appreciate your suggestions, even if I do not always enjoy them as much as you do. But, as the old saying goes, there is… Read more “Mary Poppins, by Albert W. Vogt III”
The Sound of Music, by Albert W. Vogt III
When my sister and I were still in elementary school, our mother forced us to watch The Sound of Music (1965). We rented it from the video store and we were told that we had to sit down in front of the television for its entire three hours, or else. To this day, I am… Read more “The Sound of Music, by Albert W. Vogt III”
The Greatest Showman, by Albert W. Vogt III
After watching The Greatest Showman (2017), I went on YouTube and took in Screen Junkies “Honest Trailer” for the film. You can check it out here, and it is worth doing so. If you watch it before reading the rest of this review, then you might be in for a bit of repetition. Still, I… Read more “The Greatest Showman, by Albert W. Vogt III”
Frozen II, by Albert W. Vogt III
Very soon into Frozen II, my friend Scott leaned over to me and said, “Holy *%#$ this is the Fifth Element.” It took all my powers of restraint to not laugh out loud at an inappropriate time in the movie. Essentially Elsa (Idina Menzel) is the Fifth Element, and with her powers she is the… Read more “Frozen II, by Albert W. Vogt III”
