| The Amazing Spider-Man | Katy Perry: Part of Me | Savages | WINNER
(1 point per category)
|
| Clearest Title | A movie about Spider-Man! | A movie about Katy Perry. | A movie about savages? This one is less than clear. | Spider-Man is one of the most iconic names of all time. Easy point. |
Best Genre
and Rating | Action
Rated PG-13 for sequences of action and violence. | Music Documentary
Rated PG for some suggestive content, language, thematic elements, and brief smoking. | Crime/Drama
Rated R for strong brutal and grisly violence, some graphic sexuality, nudity, drug use and language throughout. | Three different genres, three different ratings. Perfect week. Each will get 1/3 of a point.
|
Cleverest Tagline
(out of 5 stars) | The untold story begins.
3/5 -
It’s a new Spiderman origins story? Intriguing. | Be yourself and you can be anything.
2/5 - You don’t get more inspirational than this. | N/A
0/5 - It’ll be tough to win this round without one. | Weak round of taglines. Spider-Man barely gets this point.
|
| Best Part of Trailer | It looks exciting. Also, Emma Stone gots some looks. | I secretly like Katy Perry, so the trailer was fine. | Little weird, but looks well done. | After watching the trailers, I want to see The Amazing Spider-Man the most. Point.
|
| Coolest Lead Actor | Andrew Garfield from The Social Network and Never Let Me Go. | It’s a documentary about Katy Perry. | Taylor Kitsch from Friday Night Lights and Wolverine. | I actually think all three names here are quite famous. 1/3 of a point for them all.
|
| Best Cast | Emma Stone (Easy A), Denis Leary (Rescue Me), Martin Sheen (The West Wing), and Sally Field (Forrest Gump) | Other singers and dancers being themselves. | Blake Lively (Gossip Girl), Benicio Del Toro (Traffic), John Travolta (Grease), Salma Hayek (Frida), and Emile Hirsch (Into the Wild) | Wowzer. Close round. I have crushes on Emma Stone and Emile Hirsch, but Sally Field is going to bring the point home to Spider-Man. |
Best Street Cred
For the Production | Director Marc Webb has also directed (500) Days of Summer. | Directors Dan Cutforth and Jane Lipsitz have produced a ton of tv series. | Director Oliver Stone has also directed Platoon, Wall Street, and World Trade Center. | Oliver Stone. He’s one of those directors where everyone knows his name. He wins the street cred point. |
