| Battle: Los Angeles | Mars Needs Moms | Red Riding Hood | Winner
(1 point per category)
|
| Clearest Title | It's not every day that there's a battle in Los Angeles. (well, depending on which section you live in). | It's definitely not every day that something happens on Mars, especially involving moms. | But practically every day the story of Red Riding Hood is probably told somewhere. | Can't believe it's a movie, but Red Riding Hood wins the point for the clearest title. |
Best Genre
and Rating | Sci-Fi Action
Rated PG-13 for sustained and intense sequences of war violence and destruction, and for language.
| Animation
Rated PG for sci-fi action and peril.
| Fantasy/Horror
Rated PG-13 for violence and creature terror, and some sensuality. .
| Sci-Fi Action, what big genre you have. All the better to win this point with. |
Cleverest Tagline
(out of 5 stars) | n/a
Come on Battle: LA- you didn't even put up a fight.
0/5 stars
| "Mom needs a little space"
HAHA! It's so true- Moms do need space, and the movie is about space! Love it.
4/5
| "Who's afraid?"
Ooohh, I like it. Sounds foreboding for a horror movie and it's based on an old catchphrase.
4/5
| "Who's afraid" almost won, but that's based on a song about the Three Little Pigs, not Little Red- so Mars Needs Mom will win. |
| Best Part of Trailer | I feel I have seen all of this before in other movies, but it should be a fun watch. | Edge of my seat start of the trailer, it was surprisingly good. | That was a more sexy, suspenseful version than I have ever envisioned. | The Red planet and the Red girl are going to split the point for the best trailer. |
| Coolest Lead Actor | Aaron Eckhart from The Dark Knight and No Reservations. | The voice of Seth Green from The Italian Job and the Austin Powers trilogy. | Amanda Seyfried from Dear John, Mean Girls, and Mamma Mia! | Amanda and Aaron are both quasi-famous respectable actors- they can also split the point. |
| Best Cast | Michelle Rodriguez (Avatar), Bridget Moynahan (I, Robot), Ramon Rodriquez (Transformers 2), and singer Ne-Yo. | The voices of Joan Cusack (Addams Family Values), Mindy Sterling (Austin Powers), and Tom Everett Scott (American Werewolf in Paris). | Gary Oldman (The Dark Knight), Billy Burke (Twilight), Virginia Madsen (Sideways), and Julie Christie (Doctor Zhivago). | Despite my love for Michelle Rodriguez, Red Riding Hood has the most impressive cast (name anyone on the planet that doesn't like either The Dark Knight, Twilight, or Doctor Zhivago). |
Best Street Cred
For the Production | Writer Christopher Bertolini has also written The General's Daughter. | Director and Writer Simon Wells has also directed The Prince of Egypt, Balto, and American Tale. | Director Catherine Hardwicke has also directed Twilight, The Nativity Story, and Lords of Dogtown. | Mars Needs Moms has the best street cred. Simon Wells looks legit and the words "Disney" and "The Polar Express" were in the trailer. |
