| Non-Stop
| Son of God | WINNER
(1 point per category) |
| Clearest Title | Sounds like an action movie. | Sounds like a comedy, or could it be a biopic? | But on the off-chance it’s a documentary starring the actual son of God, I better give him this point. |
Best Genre
and Rating | Action
Rated PG-13 for intense sequences of action and violence, some language, sensuality and drug references | Drama/Biopic
Rated PG-13 for intense and bloody depiction of The Crucifixion, and for some sequences of violence | Two different genres, each one will get half a point. |
Best Plot
(in haiku form) | Air Marshall on flight
Each twenty minutes, a death
Can he solve the crime?
| A spoiler alert:
Jesus was born. Healed people
Died. Came back to life. | While the story has been told before, you can’t really beat that plot. Point for Son of God. |
| Best Trailer | PROS: The trailer looked suspenseful, not predictable, and not ridiculous for a plane thriller
CONS: Maybe none. | PROS: A movie like this could easily become cheesy or offensive, but it looks well done
CONS: None, as long as it doesn’t become cheesy or offensive | Both trailers will split the point for being intriguing. |
| Coolest Lead Actor | Liam Neeson from Schindler’s List, The Phantom Menace, and Taken. | Jesus. | Point for Jesus. (You can take it up with him if you think I ripped off Liam). |
| Best Cast | Julianne Moore (The Big Lebowski) and Lupita Nyong’o (12 Years a Slave) | None that I recognized | This weekend’s Oscar winning Lupita will win this point. (You heard it from me first) |
Best Street Cred
For the Production | Director Jaume Collet-Serra also directed House of Wax, Orphan, and Unknown | Writer and Director Christopher Spencer also directed The Bible mini-series and a ton of documentaries. | Each director will split the point for best street cred. |
