Son Of God Review By: Sue From the producers behind the Bible miniseries , comes Son of God , an adaptation of the bible, focusing on the life of Jesus. It’s beautiful and certainly moving. Though it lacks the polish expected of a big screen production, it’s very big tale more than makes up for it. Glossing over many of the more supernatural details and miracles, Son of God chooses instead to focus on the political machinations that paved the way to the crucifixion. John ( Sebastian Knapp ) plays the part of narrator, opening with a line from the book of John, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God". A quick montage of the Old Testament follows, highlighting the big moments: the garden of Eden, David and Goliath, Moses, Noah, and culminates with the birth of Jesus and Jesus ( Diogo Morgad o) bringing together his Apostles. Peter ( Darwin Shaw ) is the only Apostle that any time is spent on as Jesus speaks to him in his metaphors

Non-Stop Review By: MattInRC The action thriller Non-Stop is delicious fun wrapped up in 20-minute morsels of mayhem. WARNING: Major spoilers ahead. We love us some Liam Neeson . From Schindler's List and Batman Begins to The Grey , Neeson's been a rock-steady diet on our movie menu for more than two decades. But in the last few years, the actor who we first enjoyed in Excalibur has been a hurting soul. After the death of his wife in 2011, Neeson has thrown himself into his work, producing memorable fare that's also shed a greater light on what it means to lose someone close due to tragedy. His newest film Non-Stop wraps a genuinely good performance with enough high-altitude madness to make us reconsider flying First Class. When US Air Marshall Bill Marks ( Neeson ) learns of a diabolical effort to murder passengers aboard a non-stop flight to London, he must root out the suspect before the clock ticks 20 minutes. The suspect has promised Marks that someone will mee

Late last year, the news arrived that Disney/Marvel and Netflix had struck an enticing pact to produce four linked 13-part superhero series around the characters Daredevil (which the company had recently regained control over), Jessica Jones, Iron Fist and Luke Cage, AKA The Defenders . Today the New York governor’s office announced that instead of trying to fake grimy corners of the Big Apple in Los Angeles or Canada, the shows will be shot in and around the city thanks to a tax deal. The ambitious series, which features Cabin In The Woods man Drew Goddard writing and overseeing Daredevil and Twilight veteran Melissa Rosenberg tapped to guide the Jessica Jones series so far, plans to show the four heroes’ stories across their separate 13-episode runs before combining them for an eight episode miniseries crossover, making it 60 episodes in total. “New York is where the entertainment industry started, and this unprecedented commitment from Disney and Marvel is further evi
