    Hancock, by Albert W. Vogt III

    With the plethora of superhero movies now, it is kind of refreshing to re-watch Hancock (2008).  It came out the same year as Iron Man (2008), the film that launched the Marvel… Read more “Hancock, by Albert W. Vogt III”

    The Fantastic Four: First Steps, by Albert W. Vogt III

    As my ticket to see The Fantastic Four: First Steps was scanned, they handed me a pair of 3-D glasses.  “Rats,” I said under my breath, though I should have… Read more “The Fantastic Four: First Steps, by Albert W. Vogt III”

    Bowfinger, by Albert W. Vogt III

    My first job was as a bagger at an Albertson’s grocery store.  Yes, there were plenty of people who took the low hanging fruit that is the connection… Read more “Bowfinger, by Albert W. Vogt III”

    Tropic Thunder, by Albert W. Vogt III

    The thing to get out of the way right away as a Catholic film reviewer when talking about Tropic Thunder is that there is a fake trailer in it… Read more “Tropic Thunder, by Albert W. Vogt III”

    Deadpool & Wolverine, by Albert W. Vogt III

    What is the difference between being blasphemous and outright blasphemy?  For a Catholic film reviewer, that is a heckuva way to begin discussing any film.  Yet, if you saw… Read more “Deadpool & Wolverine, by Albert W. Vogt III”

    Back to School, by Albert W. Vogt III

    An aspect of what it means to be American is being a part of a country of self-made men.  I am no less a proponent of this idea… Read more “Back to School, by Albert W. Vogt III”

    Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, Albert W. Vogt III

    Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire is an incorrect equation.  I am not math major, but Godzilla times Kong equals pointless movie.  That is a criticism I do not like… Read more “Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, Albert W. Vogt III”

    Charlie Bartlett, by Albert W. Vogt III

    Admittedly, Charlie Bartlett (2007) is not a movie with which many are familiar.  That is a bit of a shame.  It is one of the first big breaks for a talented… Read more “Charlie Bartlett, by Albert W. Vogt III”
