(Alternate) Box Office Blockbuster Tourney: Even-Numbered Years Conference, Round One

So as explained previously, we are again playing a seeded tournament-style elimination game amongst each of the US domestic box office champion movies from the last 32 years, but this time with all-female judges.  Seeding was done via Rotten Tomatoes scores, with ties broken with Metacritic scores.  Three of our five judges will vote on each match-up of two films, with the winner advancing to the next round and the loser skulking off into obscurity, until we have our overall Champion!

Robert Zemeckis, by the Numbers

I just watched The Polar Express again, which got me thinking about Robert Zemeckis, which got me thinking about trying something here:  I’m going to have a quick look at his body of work as a director – at least everything I’m familiar with – give some quick comments, and rate ’em with my little faces system.  Then we’ll average it all out and see where I stand.
