| Conan the Barbarian | Fright Night | One Day | Spy Kids: All the Time in the World | WINNER
(1 point per category) |
| Clearest Title | This movie will probably be a remake of Conan the Barbarian. | This movie will probably be a horror movie. | This movie will probably be targeted for women. | This movie will probably be another sequel to Spy Kids. | Spy Kids and Conan are two well-known titles- each will earn half a point. |
Best Genre
and Rating | Action/Fantasy:
Rated R for strong bloody violence, some sexuality, and nudity. | Horror/Comedy:
Rated R for bloody horror violence and language including sexual references. | Romantic/Drama:
Rated PG-13 for sexual content, partial nudity, language, some violence, and substance abuse. | Family/Action:
Rated PG for mild action and rude humor. | I get angry when two movies released have the exact same genre and rating. This week I'm happy. All four movies split the point. |
Cleverest Tagline
(out of 5 stars) | "Enter an age undreamed of"
No clue what that means, especially cause this is a remake.
1/5 | "You can't run from evil when it lives next door"
Better. But can't you still hide from evil by locking your door?
2/5 | "Twenty years. Two people."
Better still. Don't know what it means, but perfect tagline for a romantic drama.
2.5/5 | "Saving the world is their idea of family time"
Better yet! Who doesn't like parents and children kicking butt?
3/5 | Not the best week for taglines, but I'm glad each film had one. Spy Kids scrapes a point this round and is surprisingly in the lead now. |
| Best Part of Trailer | Not sure about the plot, but it definitely has action. | It was good! Funny and creepy. Disturbia with a vampire. | Inspirational music. Looks like a perfect romantic drama type movie. | It's in 4D!!! You can smell things too!!!! | 4D! It's presented in Aroma-scope!!!! That's amazing. Spy Kids wins another point! |
| Coolest Lead Actor | Jason Momoa from Game of Thrones. | Colin Farrell from Phone Booth, Miami Vice, and Daredevil. | Anne Hathaway from The Devil Wears Prada, Alice in Wonderland, and Get Smart. | Jessica Alba from Sin City, Fantastic Four, and Dark Angel. | Anne Hathaway wins this point. (Don't be mad Jessica, you would have won any other week!) |
| Best Cast | Rachel Nichols (G.I.Joe), Rose McGowan (Charmed), Ron Perlman (Hellboy), and Stephen Lang (Avatar). | Anton Yelchin (Charlie Bartlett), Toni Collett (Little Miss Sunshine), Christopher Mintz-Plasse (Superbad), | Jim Sturgess (Across the Universe) and Patricia Clarkson (Easy A). | Jeremy Piven (Entourage), Danny Trejo (Grindhouse), and the voice of Ricky Gervais (British Office) | Shoot, this is a close race. I think Spy Kids deserves it, but to spread out the points some more, Conan's cast will win. |
Best Street Cred
For the Production | Director Marcus Nispel has also directed remakes of Friday the 13th and the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. | Director Craig Gillespie has also directed Mr. Woodcock and Lars and the Real Girl. | Director Lone Scherfig has also directed An Education (and the film is based on a famous book). | Director Robert Rodriguez has also directed Desperado, Sin City, and the other Spy Kids movies. | The first three directors have a bit of street cred, but Robert Rodriguez has the most. Point. |
