| Contraband | Joyful Noise | Beauty and the Beast (3D) | WINNER
(1 point per category)
|
Clearest Title | This movie sounds like a thriller. | This movie sounds inspirational. | This weekend sounds like the Disney classic is back in theaters in 3D! | Beauty and the Beast is one of the most famous cartoons of all time. Point. |
Best Genre and Rating | Action:
Rated R for violence, pervasive language, and brief drug use.
| Musical Comedy:
Rated PG-13 for some language including a sexual reference.
| Animation:
Rated G
| All three are different genres, I like that. All three will split the point. |
Cleverest Tagline (out of 5 stars) | "What would you hide to protect your family?"
I've never thought about this question before.
1/5
| "Dream a Whole Lot Louder."
Meh.
1/5
| "The Most Beautiful Love Story Ever Told."
Yeah it is!
3/5
| You go Beauty and the Beast! Point! |
Best Part of Trailer | There were like 4 Acts in the plot of the trailer, confusing, but looks alright. | Queen Latifah and Dolly Parton fighting. | The 3D trailer focused too much on love and singing, and not the action/comedy boys might like. | Joyful Noise had the best trailer this week. |
Coolest Lead Actor | Mark Wahlberg from Boogie Nights, The Departed, and The Fighter. | Queen Latifah from Chicago, Bringing Down the House, and Living Single. | Belle, who can sing and fight wolves with a club! | All three talented stars will split the point this round.
|
Best Cast | Kate Beckinsale (Underworld) and Ben Foster (X-Men 3) | Dolly Parton (9 to 5), Keke Palmer (Akeelah and the Bee), Jesse L. Martin (Law and Order) and Kirk Franklin. | Angela Lansbury (voice of Mrs. Potts) and Jerry Orbach (from Law and Order) | Dolly Parton is big enough to win this round by herself. Point for Joyful Noise. |
Best Street Cred For the Production | Director Baltasar Kormakur has also directed some of Iceland's most popular videos. | Director and writer Todd Graff has also written and directed Bandslam. | Directors Gary Trousdale and Kirk Wise also directed The Hunchback of NotreDame | Gary/Kirk would normally win, but since the movie came out 20 years ago, I'll let all three movies split the point. |
