| Battleship | The Dictator | What to Expect When You’re Expecting | WINNER
(1 point per category) |
| Clearest Title | Sounds like an action movie (or an interesting movie about playing a board game) | Hard to say, this one is probably a drama (or an interesting comedy) | This definitely sounds like a romantic comedy (or an interesting documentary) | I don’t know the genres, but the movies are going to have battles, dictators, and babies in them. All three split the point for clearest title.

Best Genre
and Rating | Action:
Rated PG-13 for intense sequences of violence, action and destruction, and language. | Comedy:
Rated R for strong, crude and sexual content, brief male nudity, language, and some violent images. | Comedy:
Rated PG-13 for crude and sexual content, thematic elements, and language. | Different people will want to watch each of these movies. All three movies will split the point.

Cleverest Tagline
(out of 5 stars) | Cleverest Tagline (out of 5 stars) "The Battle for Earth begins at Sea"
4/5 Whoa, that definitely makes the plot more important than two countries at war. | N/A
Boooo. Comedies are suppose to have the best taglines. | “It’s too late to pull out now.”
5/5 A pun. PG version means once you get pregnant you have to stick with it. | What to Expect had several other funny taglines too. It will get the point. |
| Best Part of Trailer | Not expecting aliens. Meh. Not expecting Rihanna! Very cool! | The trailer with the plot was 1000X better than the trailer with just the dictator stuff. | It seems engaging to watch. | The Dictator had the best trailer this week. |
| Coolest Lead Actor | Taylor Kitsch from John Carter, Friday Night Lights, and Wolverine. | Sacha Baron Cohen from Borat, Bruno, and Hugo. | Cameron Diaz from There’s Something About Mary, Shrek, and Charlie’s Angels. | All three actors are pretty cool. They’ll each split the point. |
| Best Cast | Liam Neeson (Taken), Brooklyn Decker (Just Go With It), Alexander Skarsgard (True Blood), and Rihanna! | Ben Kingsley (Ghandi), Anna Faris (Scary Movie), and several SNL actors | Jennifer Lopez, Elizabeth Banks, Chace Crawford, Brooklyn Decker, Matthew Morrison, Dennis Quaid, Chris Rock, and Wendi McLendon-Covey | Wow, so many famous people I couldn’t even write a movie beside their names. What to Expect wins the point this round. |
Best Street Cred
For the Production | Director Peter Berg has also directed The Rundown, Friday Night Lights, and Hancock. And he’s an actor too! | Director Larry Charles has also directed Borat and Bruno. | Director Kirk Jones has also directed Everybody’s Fine and Nanny McPhee. | I like how Peter Berg also writes and acts and directs. Point for him. |
