| J. Edgar | Immortals | Jack and Jill | WINNER
(1 point per category)
|
| Clearest Title | I believe this will be about J. Edgar Hoover. | I believe this will be about someone who doesn't die. | From the nursery rhyme? | No one else is named J. Edgar. He'll win this round. (Did his friends call him "J" or "Edgar"?) |
Best Genre
and Rating | Drama/Biography:
Rated R for brief strong language.
| Action/Fantasy:
Rated R for sequences of strong bloody violence and a scene of sexuality.
| Comedy:
Rated PG for crude and sexual humor, language, comic violence and brief smoking
| Jack and Jill is only PG? Fine. All three movies will split the point for having different genres. |
Cleverest Tagline
(out of 5 stars) | "The Most Powerful Man in the World"
I did not know this. Maybe I should wikipedia this guy.
3/5
| "The Gods need a Hero"
Interesting, because gods don't usually need a hero.
3/5
| "His twin sister is coming for the holidays... and it ain't pretty."
4/5
Ha. Pun. Ain't pretty cause of family arguing and because she's ugly.
| Puns always win. Jack and Jill will run up the hill carrying the point with them. |
| Best Part of Trailer | Seems dramatic and Oscar worthy. Also, voice over was poignant in relation to current events this week. | Action-y. The plot didn't grab me. Also, gold costumes were too much. | A lot of people are hating on this movie, but I thought the trailer seemed funny. | J. Edgar and Jack and Jill were "immortal" this round and split the point for best trailer. |
| Coolest Lead Actor | Leonardo DiCaprio from Titanic, The Departed, and Inception. | Henry Cavill from The Tudors and he will be the next Superman. | Adam Sandler from Waterboy, Happy Gilmore, and Big Daddy. | Sandler used to have all the best movies. DiCaprio now has all the best movies. Those two guys can split the point. |
| Best Cast | Judi Dench (M from James Bond), Naomi Watts (King Kong), Josh Lucas (Sweet Home Alabama), and Lea Thompson (Back to the Future) | Mickey Rourke (The Wrestler), Freida Pinto (Slumdog Millionaire), Kellan Lutz (Twilight), | Lots of cameos: David Spade, Tim Meadows, Al Pacino, Norm MacDonald, Dana Carvey, Regis Philbin, and like ten others. | Points for everyone! (Well, actually 1/3 of a point for everyone.) I love you, Frieda Pinto. |
Best Street Cred
For the Production | Director Clint Eastwood is street cred. IMDb him. | Director Tarsem Singh has also directed The Cell. | Director Dennis Dugan has also directed Big Daddy, Happy Gilmour, and other Sandler films. | Clint Eastwood. Nuf' said. |
