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.
‘007: First Light’ delivers a fun, original take on James Bond’s origin story. But that doesn’t mean this is a problem-free Bond.
‘Propeller One-Way Night Coach’ is a story about a mom and son’s plane flight. It tries to be nostalgic. But despite its colorful patina, it’s all rather flightless.
‘Forza Horizon 6’ may not always be the easiest of driving games, but it is surely the most beautiful.
‘Over Your Dead Body’ is packed with torment, ripped flesh and profanity—and very little of the trailer’s promised good humor.
The colorful ‘Call of the Elder Gods’ has ‘Myst’-like puzzles and intrigue. But dark, Lovecraftian mysticism coats it all.
How are screens influencing your life? Are you comfortable with the digital footprint you leave behind?
Peach, Mario, Luigi and a new dino pal named Yoshi rally to save the day. But it’s family viewers who get the gold coin.
‘Faces of Death’ has some slight social commentary in its homage to the original 1978 gore doc, but it’s still a bloody, brutal slog.
Artificial intelligence has become a part of the toys our children play with. But are there problems with putting our babes in AI Toyland?
‘Ready or Not 2: Here I Come’ is well-crafted. But it tries to wink and giggle over gouts of gore, battered women, profanity and satanic worship. Maybe … not?
If you don’t instantly recognize this movie’s lengthy title, it might not be your cup of tea. Even if you do, it’s not the most family-friendly drink.
