Project Greenlight: Time to Choose the Ultimate Winners

Hi kiddos! Here are the Project Greenlight winners from each class (with 2nd period ending in with such a close runner-up point-wise that I've included them here too). Here's what you're going to do, step by step:
  1. Watch all four videos. 
  2. Based on which one is both most entertaining and most closely typifies its genre, decide on the overall winner. BE AS OBJECTIVE AS POSSIBLE. While I get that there might be some Class Period Pride here, don't let that act as an obscuring influence on your overall judgment.
  3. Write a comprehensive review and justification for your choice and post it here in the comments! DUE BY FRIDAY AT 5PM. ANY REVIEWS THAT ARE NOT BOTH COMPREHENSIVE AND ELOQUENT WILL BE REJECTED. 
BY NOW YOU SHOULD REALIZE WHAT I MEAN BY COMPREHENSIVE. If you need advice, take a look at Roger Ebert's review of Spirited Awayhttps://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/great-movie-spirited-away-2002

As I've mentioned to you all, I found all of these to be supremely entertaining and very apt in portraying their respective genres. I am really having a difficult time deciding on my personal favorite!

Period 1 Winner: Frankenstein: The UnBEARable Truth

  2. How well did your group work together outside of class?
