WINNER
(1 point per category)
|
| Clearest Title |
I declare that this can not possibly be a word.
|
Boom is a word, but it does not make sense in this sentence.
|
I understand this word and it sounds scary.
|
I haven’t heard of the movie Sinister before, but it has the clearest title- point.
|
Best Genre
and Rating | Drama
Rated R for language and some violent images.
|
Action/Comedy
Rated PG for MMA sports violence, some rude humor, and language.
| Horror
Rated R for disturbing violent images and some terror.
|
Here Comes the Boom gets a point for being PG! There should be more PG movies aimed at adults these days.
|
Cleverest Tagline
(out of 5 stars) |
The movie was fake. The mission was real.
3/5 Decent tagline. Awesome true story plot.
| One teacher still believes in fighting for his students.
3/5 Ha, he’s fighting emotionally AND physically.
|
Once you see him, nothing can save you.
2/5 Generic.
|
The first two movies will split the point for the best taglines. Sorry Sinister.
|
| Best Part of Trailer |
It’s a real spy story. Looks good.
|
It’s not a dumb Kevin James comedy, it’s like a Kevin James inspirational dramedy (which is a good thing)
|
Not my personal cup of tea, but it looked good for a horror trailer.
|
Argo has the best trailer (but I don’t disapprove of the other ones). Point.
|
| Coolest Lead Actor |
Ben Affleck from Good Will Hunting, Daredevil, and Pearl Harbor.
|
Kevin James from The King of Queens, Hitch, and Paul Blart: Mall Cop.
|
Ethan Hawke from Training Day, Before Sunset, and Dead Poet’s Society.
|
I love Jennifer Garner (Ethan guest starred on Alias, Ben married her), and Nicole Sullivan (King of Queens), so all three men will split a jealous point from me.
|
| Best Cast |
Bryan Cranston (Malcolm in the Middle), Alan Arkin (Little Miss Sunshine), John Goodman (Roseanne), and Victor Garbor (Alias)
|
Salma Hayek (Frida) and Henry Winkler (Happy Days)
|
Names weren’t super recognizable (yet)
|
Argo has the best cast this week (it would have the best cast of all time if it also starred The Fonz).
|
Best Street Cred
For the Production |
Director Ben Affleck has also directed The Town and Gone Baby Gone.
|
Director Frank Coraci has also directed Zookeeper, The Waterboy, and The Wedding Singer.
|
Writer and Director Scott Derrickson also wrote and directed The Exorcism of Emily Rose.
|
Comparable to their genres, Ben and Frank have directed amazing movies. Each will split the point.
