| Hit and Run
| Premium Rush
| WINNER
(1 point per category)
|
| Clearest Title | The what?
| An action film?
| I don’t know what this one means either.
| These titles don’t tell me anything! Each film gets 1/3 point for equal lack of clarity.
|
Best Genre
and Rating | Horror
Rated PG-13 for terror/ frightening images and some sensuality.
| Action/Comedy
Rated R for pervasive language including sexual references, graphic nudity, some violence, and some drug content.
| Action
Rated PG-13 some violence, intense action sequences, and language.
| Two PG-13s and two Actions. No unique winner. Another 1/3 point for each film.

Cleverest Tagline
(out of 5 stars) | “Once you believe you die”
3/5 - It’s straightforward. I like it.
| “A comedy that never takes its foot off the gas.”
2/5 - I like the car reference.
| "Ride Like Hell"
4/5 - Short and Sweet.
| Win Like Hell. That didn’t work as well, but Premium Rush takes the point.
|
| Best Part of Trailer | Sort of reminded me of the book Sphere and every other horror movie.
| The action looked good. I didn’t see too much of the comedy.
| Unique film, bicycle action actually looks good.
| Premium Rush had the best trailer.
|
| Coolest Lead Actor | Ashley Greene from the Twilight movies.
| Kristen Bell from Veronica Mars and Forgetting Sarah Marshall.
| Joseph Gordon-Levitt from The Dark Knight Rises, Inception, and Third Rock from the Sun.
| Joseph Gordon-Levitt is the man. He can do no wrong in my book. Point for him.
|
| Best Cast | Tom Felton (Harry Potter films)
| Bradley Cooper (The Hangover), Tom Arnold, (True Lies), and Kristin Chenoweth (Wicked)
| I didn’t recognize any movie stars (but see my conclusions below)
| Hit and Run has the most famous cast.
|
Best Street Cred
For the Production | Writer and Director Todd Lincoln has written and directed some short films.
| Actor, Writer, and Director Dax Shepard acted in Baby Mama.
| Director and Writer David Koepp has also written Jurassic Park, Mission: Impossible, Panic Room, and Spider-Man.
| Multi-talented men, but David Koepp has the best street cred.
