| The Bourne Legacy
| The Campaign
| Hope Springs
| WINNER
(1 point per category)
|
| Clearest Title | Another Bourne movie???
| Not sure about the genre of this movie.
| This movie probably has romance in it.
| The Bourne movie gets the point for having the most recognizable title.
|
Best Genre
and Rating | Action
Rated PG-13 for violence and action sequences.
| Comedy
Rated R for crude sexual content, language, and brief nudity.
| Dramedy
Rated PG-13 for mature thematic content involving sexuality.
| Each film will get 1/3 of a point for having a slightly different genre and rating.
|
Cleverest Tagline
(out of 5 stars) | “There Was Never Just One.”
2/5 -
Interesting, but what? No Matt Damon?
| “May the Best Loser Win.”
3/ 5- Funny, cause both are losers in the campaign.
| “Fall in Love Again this August.”
1/5 -While plot related, it does not make me want to watch this movie.
| Not the strongest week, but at least each title had one. The Campaign will win this vote.
|
| Best Part of Trailer | It looked action packed (although I wasn’t awestruck and there was no Damon).
| A lot funnier than I expected (although I don’t expect much from these types of comedies)
| It wasn’t that bad too watch (okay, I enjoyed it, but that might be because Meryl Streep is a wizard)
| Honestly, all three trailers were equally fine with me. 1/3 points all around. (Life of Pi - now that’s a trailer!)
|
| Coolest Lead Actor | Jeremy Renner from The Avengers, Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol, and The Hurt Locker.
| Will Ferrell from Anchorman, SNL, and Elf.
| Meryl Streep from The Devil Wears Prada, The Iron Lady, and Mamma Mia!
| Jeremy Renner is pretty hot right now (I mean that in the heterosexual popularity way), so he’ll split the point with the famous Streep.
|
| Best Cast | Edward Norton (Fight Club) and Rachel Weisz (The Mummy)
| Zach Galifianakis (The Hangover), Jason Sudeikis (SNL), and Dylan McDermott, John Lithgow, and Dan Aykroyd.
| Tommy Lee Jones (Men in Black), Steve Carell (The Office), and Jean Smart.
| While not a landslide victory, The Campaign will win this round.
|
Best Street Cred
For the Production | Writer and Director Tony Gilroy also wrote the other Bourne movies and directed Michael Clayton.
| Director Jay Roach has also directed the Austin Powers and the Meet the Parents’ movies.
| Director David Frankel has also directed The Devil Wears Prada and Marley & Me.
| Oh shoot. The director of Austin Powers or the writer of the Bourne movies? I’ll let those two guys split the point.
