\"sonofgodposter\"<\/a>1. Son of God (Fox, 3,256 Theaters, 138 Minutes, Rated PG-13):<\/strong> Very seldom does there come a film that has the highest theater count and I know nothing about it. This is one of those times.<\/p>\n

Based just on the name of this film, I thought it be a drama about kids living in a slum in some Second or Third World country. I felt foolish when I found out that it was another in a long line of Jesus bio-pics.<\/p>\n

It is being release on the weekend before the start of Lent. But it has no promotion, no stars (the biggest name, nay, only name in the film, is Roma Downey, who also produced), which gives the inflated theater count an air of a desperate cash grab. The critical drubbing the film is getting over at Rotten Tomatoes adds more evidence to that claim.<\/p>\n
