(1 point per category)

| Clearest Title | Reminds me of an European comic book character. | Reminds me of a European novel | Maybe it reminds me of a true story/ book about a family buying a zoo | Maybe it reminds me of a book and a Broadway play | Doesn't remind me of anything. | The first two imports will split the point for most recognizable title. |

| All different genres! All will split the point. (crap, adding 1/5th points is going to suck at the end) |
Cleverest Tagline
(out of 5 stars) | "This year discover how far adventure will take you." Semi-inspiring.
2/5.
| "She's coming." Sounds badass.
3/5
| N/A. boooo
0/5
| "Separated by war. Tested by Battle. Bound by Friendship"
Sounds epic. 3/5
| "Survive the Holidays."
Ha- the holidays are stressful for everyone AND it's an alien invasion!
4/5
| "It's the season for giving...a can of whoop @$$!" was The Darkest Hour's second choice for tagline. Point. |
| Best Part of Trailer | Wow, they weren't kidding. Action Adventure Violence. | The long trailer was much better than the short one. | Awwww. I love inspirational trailers! | Seems like a good movie. I didn't really get it, though. | Interesting deaths. Curious how five people will save the world. | War Horse and The Darkest Hour didn't really do it for me. The other three will split the point. (What's 1/5 plus 1/3?) |
| Coolest Lead Actor | The voice of Jamie Bell from Billy Elliot and Jumper. | Daniel Craig from Layer Cake and Casino Royale. | Matt Damon from Good Will Hunting and the Bourne movies. | Emily Watson (not the lead, but the first billed) was also in Punch Drunk Love. | Emile Hirsch from Into the Wild and Milk. | While I have a man crush on Emile Hirsh, I think Matt Damon and Daniel Craig will each get a 1/2 point. (I hate fractions.) |
| Best Cast | The voices of Daniel Craig, Simon Pegg, Andy Serkis, and Cary Elwes. | Rooney Mara (The Social Network), Christopher Plummer (The Sound of Music), and Robin Wright (The Princess Bride) | Scarlett Johansson (Lost in Translation), Thomas Haden Church (Sideways), and Elle Fanning (Super 8) | I didn't really recognize anyone else. | I didn't really recognize anyone else. | Dragon Tattoo and Bought a Zoo and their Oscar nominated cast members will split this point. |
Best Street Cred
For the Production | Director Steven Spielberg also directed Schindler's List, Saving Private Ryan, Minority Report, and E.T. | Director David Fincher also directed se7en, Fight Club, and The Social Network. | Director Cameron Crowe also directed Jerry Maguire, Almost Famous, and Vanilla Sky. | Director Steven Spielberg also directed Jaws, Jurassic Park, Catch Me if You Can, and the four Indiana Jones films. | Director Chris Gorak was the Art Director on Fight Club, Minority Report, and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. | Steven Spielberg has to win this round. Wait. What? I guess both Spielberg movies split the point. |
