| The Adjustment Bureau | Beastly | Rango | Take Me Home Tonight | Winner
(1 point per category)
|
| Clearest Title | The definition of Bureau is either "a division of a government department," or "a chest of drawers, often with a mirror at the top." | Beastly: "nasty, unpleasant, of or like a beast." | Rango- actually this word isn't in the dictionary | All these words are in the dictionary, together they seem to have innuendo. | None of the titles are clear in any way, so why not give the point to the indecipherable title Rango? It sounds interesting. |
Best Genre
and Rating | Thriller
Rated PG-13 for strong language, some sexuality, and a violent image.
| Fantasy
Rated PG-13 for crude comments, brief violence, and some thematic material.
| Animation
Rated PG for rude humor, language, action, and smoking.
| Comedy/Drama
Rated R for language, sexual content, and drug use.
| One of my biggest pet peeves is when movies with the same genre are released in one weekend.* Well done you four- 1/4th point each. |
Cleverest Tagline
(out of 5 stars) | "Fight for your fate."
Fighting and fate and alliteration- decent tagline.
3/5 stars
| "It's what's underneath."
Good moral for a romance, also like the double use of apostrophes.
2/5
| "Johnny Depp is Rango."
This isn't a tagline.
0/5
| Best. Night. Ever.
Epic tagline, especially with the excess punctuation.
1/5
| Little disappointed this week with the selection- I guess the Adjustment Bureau will take the point. |
| Best Part of Trailer | Maybe not the most believable plot, but the A-list actors make this look awesome! | Maybe not the best script, but it looked fine for a tween version of Beauty and the Beast. | Maybe not comparable to a Pixar film, but I really liked this trailer. | Maybe not that funny, but it could have some heart. | Rango has the best trailer of all the movies, and it seems also to have the best plot, most action, and funniest moments. |
| Coolest Lead Actor | Matt Damon from The Departed, Good Will Hunting, and The Bourne movies. | Vanessa Hudgens from the High School Musical movie trilogy. | The voice of Johnny Depp from Pirates of the Caribbean, Edward Scissorhands, and Alice in Wonderland. | Topher Grace from Spider-Man 3 and That 70s Show. | Matt Damon also from True Grit, Invictus, Saving Private Ryan, and Ocean's Eleven, will take this point. |
| Best Cast | Emily Blunt (Devil Wears Prada) and a cameo from Jon Stewart (The Daily Show). | Alex Pettyfer (I am Number Four), Mary-Kate Olsen (Full House), and Neil Patrick Harris (How I Met Your Mother). | Voices of Isla Fisher (Wedding Crashers), Abigail Breslin (Little Miss Sunshine), and others. | Anna Faris (Just Friends) and Ginnifer Goodwin (He's Just Not That Into You). | Beastly wins the point for Best Cast, pretty much due to Neil Patrick Harris' involvement. |
Best Street Cred
For the Production | Writer and Director George Nolfi also wrote The Bourne Ultimatum and Oceans 12. | Writer and Director Daniel Barnz also wrote and directed Phoebe in Wonderland. | Writer and Director Gore Verbinski also directed The Ring and The Pirates movie. | Actor Topher Grace has "Story By" credits on this movie! | I like how 3 of these guys wrote AND directed their movies, but George Nolfi has the most street cred. |
