| Killing Them Softly | The Collection | Winner
(One point per category)
|
| Clearest Title | Intriguing Title. Don’t know what it means.
| Generic Title. Don’t know what it means.
| These days, every movie is two words and starts with “The.” Point for the intriguing title.
|
Best Genre
and Rating | Crime/Drama
Rated R for violence, sexual references, pervasive language, and some drug use.
| Horror
Rated R for strong bloody violence, grisly images, language, and brief nudity.
| This weekend, every movie is Rated R. 1/2 point for each movie.
|
Cleverest Tagline
(out of 5 stars) | N/A
0/5 - The title is pretty cool despite lack of tagline.
| “Every great collector has a vision”
1/5 - Interestingly creepy, because it doesn’t sound horror-ish.
| These days, where are the good taglines like, “In space no one can hear you scream.” I guess The Collection will win this point.
|
| Best Part of Trailer | Umm, it seemed like a mobster movie, then the music made it seem like an inspirational movie.
| These gruesome horror movies don’t do it for me.
| This weekend, I guess Killing Them Softly has the Best Trailer. Point.
|
| Coolest Lead Actor | Brad Pitt from se7en, Fight Club, and Inglourious Basterds.
| Emma Fitzpatrick from The Social Network and In Time.
| These days, Brad Pitt is pretty famous. Point for him.
|
| Best Cast | James Gandolfini (Sopranos), Ray Liotta (Goodfellas), and Richard Jenkins (The Visitor)
| The other actors are not recognizable, yet.
| This weekend, the guy from Sopranos is back in theaters. Point for him.
|
Best Street Cred
For the Production | Writer and Director Andrew Dominik also wrote and directed The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford.
| Writer and Director Marcus Dunstan also wrote several Saw movies and the Piranha 3DD movie.
| These days, a lot of writers are becoming directors. I’ll let these two guys split the point.
