This Weekend, Watch This
|
Inception | The Sorcerer's Apprentice | WINNER (1 point per category) | |
Clearest Title | Inception means a start, a beginning, or the act of graduating at a British university. I don't know what this film is about. | I think this title reminds me of the time that Mickey Mouse was dealing with all those brooms. | The Sorcerer's Apprentice sounds familiar, so it wins round 1. |
Best Genre and Rating | Sci-Fi/Thriller
Rated PG-13 for sequences of violence and action throughout | Fantasy/Adventure
Rated PG for fantasy action violence, some mild rude humor, and brief language. | Aren't almost all sci-fi movies thrillers? And almost all fantasy movies adventure? Predictable genres make each movie split the point. |
Cleverest Tagline (out of 5 stars) | "Your mind is on the scene of the crime"
I think this might be clever, cause the movie is about going into people's minds 2/5 stars | "N/A"
Come on Disney! Throw me a frickin' bone. Where's the tagline? 0/5 stars | Inception wins the point for the best, and only, tagline. |
Best Part of Trailer | The Matrix-like dream world seems like it'd be interesting to be a part of for two hours. | Being a sorcerer to fight evil also seems fun to be a part of for two hours (and the broom scene was in the trailer!) | This is the third week in a row both movies split the point for Best Trailer. What can I say? The trailers looked good the past three weeks. |
Coolest Lead Actor | Leonardo DiCaprio from Growing Pains, Titanic, Catch Me if you Can, The Departed, and Shutter Island. | Nicolas Cage from The Rock, Con Air, Face/Off, and National Treasure. | Despite Leonardo DiCaprio being a solid actor, Nicolas Cage will win this round for his entertaining movies. |
Best Cast Member | Ellen Page from Juno and X-men 3. | Jay Baruchel from She's Out of My League and the voice of Hiccup in How to Train Your Dragon. | I may never grow tired of giving Ellen Page a point because she was in Juno. Point for her. |
Best Street Cred For the Production | Director and Writer Christopher Nolan also directed and wrote Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, and The Prestige. | Producer Jerry Bruckheimer has also produced CSI, National Treasure, the Pirates' movies, Remember the Titans, Con Air, The Rock, Top Gun, and Beverly Hills Cop. | You had me at The Dark Knight. Point for Christopher Nolan. |
