| Drive | I Don't Know How She Does It | The Lion King 3D | Straw Dogs | WINNER
(1 point per category) |
| Clearest Title | Sounds like it has to do with cars = Action movie probably. | Sounds like the main character is a woman = Chick Flick probably | Sounds like my favorite cartoon growing up = Reissue of The Lion King probably | I don't know what this title means= could be any genre really, maybe drama? | The Lion King is an amazingly familiar title and will win the first point. |
Best Genre
and Rating | Action:
Rated R for strong brutal bloody violence, language, and some nudity. | Comedy:
Rated PG-13 for some disturbing content and some language. | Animation:
Rated G | Thriller:
Rated R for strong brutal violence including a sexual attack, menace, some sexual content, and pervasive language. | I almost predicted all the genres correct from their titles. The two non-brutal violence movies will split the point for being different...and cheerful. |
Cleverest Tagline
(out of 5 stars) | "Some Heroes Are Real"
I don't know what this means.
1/5 | "Let The Multi-tasking Begin"
I don't want to see this movie anymore because of this tagline.
1/5 | "Life's Greatest Adventure is Finding Yourself in the Circle of Life"
I don't think I would have liked this tagline if I hadn't seen the movie first
1/5 | "Everyone Has a Breaking Point"
Better.
2/5 | Straw Dogs wins the point for best tagline. |
| Best Part of Trailer | Weird music selection, but glad it looked better than Fast and Furious. | Looks sweet..but "comedy" may have been stretching it a little | Nostalgic. | Disturbing. | Lion King and Straw Dogs had emotionally powerful trailers...they'll split the point (even though I know I don't want to watch Straw Dogs). |
| Coolest Lead Actor | Ryan Gosling from Crazy, Stupid Love, The Notebook, and Young Hercules. | Sarah Jessica Parker from Sex and the City and Failure to Launch. | Simba | James Marsden from Enchanted and the X-men trilogy. | Shoot, they're all pretty cool...all four will split the point. |
| Best Cast | Carey Mulligan (An Education), Christina Hendricks (Mad Men), and Ron Perlman (Hellboy). | Pierce Brosnan (GoldenEye), Greg Kinnear (Little Miss Sunshine), Christina Hendricks, Kelsey Grammar (Frasier), Jane Curtin and Seth Meyers (SNL) | Nala, Mufasa, Timon, Pumbaa, Scar, Rafiki, and Zazu. | Kate Bosworth (Superman Returns) and Alexander Skarsgard (True Blood). | What it may lack in laughs, it makes up in star power. I Don't Know How She Does It wins the point. |
Best Street Cred
For the Production | Director Nicolas Winding Refn just won Best Director at Cannes for Drive. | Director Douglas McGrath also directed (and wrote) Emma, and was nominated for an Oscar for writing. | Oscar nominated Director Roger Allers also wrote Aladdin and Director Rob Minkoff also directed Stuart Little. | Director Rod Lurie has also directed other smaller movies and TV shows. | But...no one has won an Oscar yet...all four directors will split the point. |
