After spending more than two decades touring, directing, writing and producing for Christian theater and radio (most recently for Adventures in Odyssey, which he still contributes to), Bob joined the Plugged In staff to help us focus more heavily on video games. He is also one of our primary movie reviewers.
‘Rental Family’ showcases a struggling American actor playing rent-by-the-hour roles in Japan. It’s a funny and thoughtful pic but with content to navigate.
‘Now You See Me: Now You Don’t’ brings back the magical Horsemen for a new abracadabra scheme. That’s not to suggest, though, that it’s magical for all.
The rate at which parents read to their children is down more than ever. But parents who start will boost their child’s development.
‘The Outer Worlds 2’ sports winking color, but the fun is dripping with gooey gunk as well.
‘Good Fortune’ take a derivative glance at our not-so-wonderful lives. It comes up a few bells and angel wings short.
‘The Smashing Machine’ is an inconsistent, unrewarding story. Viewers are pounded to the mat with foul language, drug use and in-the-ring gore.
‘Pokémon Legends: Z-A’ is packed with creature-collecting fun, but it may not be the cheery, catch-‘em-all frolic that younger fans expect.
‘Eleanor the Great’ lives up to its title in many ways, despite coming with some content issues to navigate.
‘Nicktoons & The Dice of Destiny’ offers pretty much exactly what you’d expect from a Nickelodeon game: colorful characters, silly fun and mess-free RPG battles.
This monster sequel is known as one of the best of the Universal Horror Classics. But there still might be creepy bits for the younger monster fans in the crowd.
‘The Strangers: Chapter 2’ plays out the second act of a painfully gruesome examination on random evil. Even scarier? There will likely be an Act 3.
