    No Strings Attached, by Albert W. Vogt III

    Recently, I reviewed This Means War (2012), a somewhat funny romantic comedy with Reese Witherspoon that has two spies competing for her affections.  A brief, but no less important moment… Read more “No Strings Attached, by Albert W. Vogt III”

    Thor: Love and Thunder, by Albert W. Vogt III

    Like many people, Thor: Ragnarok (2017) was my first exposure to Taika Waititi, who directed it and provided the voice for the rock creature known as Korg.  I guess there… Read more “Thor: Love and Thunder, by Albert W. Vogt III”

    Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith

    There are those who, like me, are Star Wars fans but do not like the prequels.  Within this subset slice of humanity, there are some who believe Star Wars: Episode III… Read more “Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith”

    Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones, by Albert W. Vogt III

    For those of you who wanted a better follow up to Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace (1999) with Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones (2002),… Read more “Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones, by Albert W. Vogt III”

    Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace, by Albert W. Vogt III

    For years, this Star Wars fan subsisted on re-watching the original trilogy.  I viewed the first three movies so many times I had them memorized, shot-for-shot, word-for-word.  In high school, when… Read more “Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace, by Albert W. Vogt III”

    Leon: The Professional, by Albert W. Vogt III

    Sometimes mislabeled as simply The Professional, Léon: The Professional (1994) is the film that launched Natalie Portman’s career.  Her Mathilda, though, is not the star.  That would be the title character, played… Read more “Leon: The Professional, by Albert W. Vogt III”

    Star Wars: Episode VI: Return of the Jedi, by Albert W. Vogt III

    V for Vendetta, by Albert W. Vogt III

    Thor: The Dark World, by Albert W. Vogt III

    Plot convenience is a heckuva thing. When I first saw Thor: The Dark World (2013) in theaters, I remember thinking: what a mess. Since then, I have… Read more “Thor: The Dark World, by Albert W. Vogt III”
