| Hobbit 2: The Desolation of Smaug | Tyler Perry’s A Madea Christmas | WINNER
(1 point per category) |
| Clearest Title | Sounds like a sequel to the Hobbit! | Sounds like another Madea movie! | Half point each for these recognizable titles. |
Best Genre
and Rating | Adventure/Fantasy
Rated PG-13 for extended sequences of intense fantasy action violence, and frightening images | Comedy
Rated PG-13 for sexual references, crude humor and language | And another half point each for these diverse genres. |
Best Plot
(in haiku form) | Dwarves, Elves, and hobbit
Want to destroy a dragon
And there’s a wizard
| No-nonsense black gal
Go spends Christmas with rednecks
Comedy ensues
| The word dragon always wins the point in this category. Point for Hobbit. |
| Best Trailer | PROS: This trailer brings us back to adventures in middle-earth, looks great
CONS: None really, if this is your type of movie | PROS: This was probably my favorite Madea trailer, entertaining
CONS: None really, if this is your type of movie | Hobbit 2 wins the point for best trailer. |
| Coolest Lead Actor | Martin Freeman from The Hobbit and Sherlock. | Tyler Perry from Madea films and Why Did I Get Married? | The gentlemen will split the point for this round. |
| Best Cast | Ian McKellen (X-Men), Orlando Bloom (Pirates of the Caribbean), Evangeline Lilly (Lost), and Cate Blanchett (Elizabeth) | Larry the Cable Guy (the voice of Mater from Cars) and Kathy Najimy (the funny lady from Sister Act) | The Hobbit wins best cast, but I’m going to regret that decision (Kathy Najimy is so funny!) |
Best Street Cred
For the Production | Writer, director, and producer Peter Jackson also wrote, directed, and produced The Lord of the Rings trilogy and King Kong. | Writer, director, and producer Tyler Perry also wrote, directed, and produced a thousand of his own movies. | And both gentlemen will split the point for best street cred. |
