This Weekend, Watch This
|
Frankenweenie | Taken 2 | Pitch Perfect | WINNER (1 point per category) | |
Clearest Title | This title does not suggest anything to me. | This title suggests Liam Neeson is going to kill people again. | This title suggests a musical. | Taken 2 is the most recognizable title, and will take this point. |
Best Genre and Rating | Animation
Rated PG for thematic elements, scary images, and action. | Thriller
Rated PG-13 for intense sequences of violence and action, and some sensuality. | Music Comedy
Rated PG-13 for sexual material, language, and drug references. | It’s going to be a good weekend - all different genres! 1/3 point each! |
Cleverest Tagline (out of 5 stars) | N/A
0/5 Really? Nothing. Don’t want to help us out with the movie concept? Okay. | First they took his daughter, now they are coming for him.
4/5 This quickly establishes the purpose and the plot for a sequel. | Get Pitch Slapped.
4/5 It’s a pun, hilarious! | Taken 2 and Pitch Perfect split the point for awesome taglines. Pitch Slapped...haha. |
Best Part of Trailer | It had a throw-back to original horror trailers, very interesting. Wonder if kids will find it funny, though? | Yee-haw! Perfect blend of action and family dynamics! | Hahahah. I laughed outloud like five different times- unheard of for a trailer. | Liam Neeson, you would normally make a trailer, but have you met Rebel Wilson? Point for Pitch Perfect. |
Coolest Lead Actor | The voice of Winona Ryder from Edward Scissorhands, Mr. Deeds, and Girl Interrupted. | Liam Neeson from Taken, Schindler’s List, and Star Wars. | Anna Kendrick from Up in the Air, 50/50, and Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. | Liam Neeson, you would normally be the coolest actor, and you are this week. Point for Taken 2. |
Best Cast | Also the voices of Catherine O’Hara (Home Alone) and Martin Short (SNL) | Famke Janssen (The X-Men trilogy) | Brittany Snow (Hairspray) and Rebel Wilson (Bridesmaids) | All three movies have awesome talent. 1/3 point each. |
Best Street Cred For the Production | Writer and Director Tim Burton from Edward Scissorhands, Corpse Bride, and Batman Returns. | Writer Luc Besson has also written Taken, The Fifth Element, and The Transporter. | Director Jason Moore has also directed several TV shows. | Tim Burton has some of the most street cred in all of Hollywood. Point for him. |
