| The Grey | Man on a Ledge | One for the Money | WINNER
(1 point per category)
|
| Clearest Title | The Color Purple? Into the Blue? Color titles aren't clear at all. | Now we are getting clearer. There's a man on a ledge. | My mom may have talked to me about a book with this title. | I swear I only heard about that book and haven't read it! Point for One for the Money. |
Best Genre
and Rating | Action/Thriller:
Rated R for violence and disturbing images, and for pervasive language.
| Crime/Thriller
Rated PG-13 for violence and brief strong language.
| Comedy/Action
Rated PG-13 for violence, sexual references and language, some drug material, and partial nudity.
| Two Thrillers. Two PG-13s. No originality this weekend- all will split the point. |
Cleverest Tagline
(out of 5 stars) | "Live or Die on This Day"
Almost generic, but the confusing grammar structure makes it more interesting
3/5
| "You can only push an innocent man so far"
Completely generic, unless it refers to pushing the man off the edge.
2/5
| "She's looking for a few not-so-good men"
Now that's a pun and is funny!
4/5
| Shoot, I didn't want to give this movie so many points, but it also has the best tagline. |
| Best Part of Trailer | So not generic! Wolves! I liked it! | HOLY CRAP! | It was pretty funny actually. | Man on the Ledge has an amazing trailer. I was hooked. |
| Coolest Lead Actor | Liam Neeson from Taken, Star Wars, and Schindler's List. | Sam Worthington from Avatar, Clash of the Titans, and Terminator: Salvation. | Katherine Heigl from Grey's Anatomy, Knocked Up, and a bunch of chick flicks. | I'm sorry Liam, but I have to give Sam this point. (Have you all seen Avatar? Should have won Best Picture. I said it.) |
| Best Cast | Dermot Mulroney (My Best Friend's Wedding) | Edward Burns (Saving Private Ryan), Jamie Bell (Billy Elliot), Kyra Sedgwick (The Closer), Ed Harris (The Truman Show) | Daniel Sunjata (All My Children), John Leguizamo (Ice Age), Sherri Shepherd (The View), Debbie Reynolds (Singin in the Rain), | Man on the Ledge and One for the Money split the point for the Best Cast. |
Best Street Cred
For the Production | Writer and Director Joe Carnahan has also written and directed Smokin' Aces and The A-Team. | Newcomer Director Asger Leth created the movie Ghosts of Cite Soleil | Director Julie Anne Robinson has also directed The Last Song and a ton of TV shows. | Mr. Carnahan has the most impressive resume. Point. |
