| Apollo 18 | The Debt | Shark Night 3D | WINNER
(1 point per category)
|
| Clearest Title | Is this a sequel to Apollo 13? (Hmm, I need to catch up on my American history). | This movie has to do with someone owing someone else something. | A 3D shark attack movie? | Space and Sharks, two good reasons to see a movie based on the title alone. These two will split the point this round. |
Best Genre
and Rating | Horror/Mockumentary
Rated PG-13 for disturbing images and language.
| Drama/Thriller
Rated R for some violence and language.
| Horror/Thriller
Rated PG-13 for violence and terror, disturbing images, sexual references, partial nudity, language, and thematic material.
| (How can Shark Night not be rated R?) I haven't seen a mockumentary for awhile... point for Apollo 18. |
Cleverest Tagline
(out of 5 stars) | "There's a reason we've never gone back to the moon"
3/5
| "Every secret comes with a price"
This sounds like a typical drama/thriller tagline
1/5
| "Terror runs deep"
Ha! It means terror is deep inside of you AND underneath the water!
3/5
| All right, the space tagline and the shark tagline will split the point for creativity. |
| Best Part of Trailer | Sortof like Paranormal Activity, but on the moon! | OOOH! Suspenseful look into three spies when they were young and when they were old...trailer is better than this description! | Shark Attack movie with a twist, more clever than I thought. | It was a good week for trailers, but The Debt's trailer was a league above the other two. |
| Coolest Lead Actor | No actors are listed...probably because it's suppose to be real footage. | Helen Mirren from The Queen, RED, and Calendar Girls. | Katharine McPhee is in this? She almost won American Idol. | Helen Mirren is the definition of cool, hence her point in this round. |
| Best Cast | No actors are listed...probably because it's suppose to be real footage. | Tom Wilkinson (Michael Clayton), Sam Worthington (Avatar), and Jessica Chastain (The Help) | A lot of up and coming actors who aren't famous yet. | I'm a fan of Sam, but I really like how Apollo 18 is being advertised as truth...point. |
Best Street Cred
For the Production | Director Gonzalo Lopez-Gallego has directed several foreign films. | Director John Madden has also directed Shakespeare in Love. | Director David R. Ellis has also directed Snakes on a Plane and The Final Destination. | Academy Award nominated Mr. Madden will win the award this round. |
