One on One - Vampire (Robert Pattinson) Versus Werewolf (Taylor Lautner)

vampires-versus-werewolves-.jpg

When it comes the greatest half-human monsters, vampires have always been the clear favorite. Dracula or the Wolf-Man? Dracula, obviously. But things in the monster pantheon may have changed thanks to Twilight franchise's Taylor Lautner. The level of tween-squealing over Lautner's teen wolf has begun to rival that of his fanged co-star Robert Pattinson. Which has us wondering... Which do you prefer?

One on One - Jim Carrey as Scrooge Versus Jim Carrey as The Grinch

one-on-one-jim-carey-560.jpg

If the brand-new animated version of A Christmas Carol, starring Jim Carrey as Scrooge, proves anything, it's that the real War on Christmas is being waged by Carrey repeatedly. Not only is Carrey currently masquerading as Mr. Bah Humbug, but nine years ago, he also played that other infamous scourge of holiday merriment, The Grinch (Dr. Seuss How the Grinch Stole Christmas). Which Christmas-hating curmudgeon did you prefer? Scrooge or The Grinch?

One on One - The World Series in the Movies Versus the Real Thing

one-on-one-world-series-560.jpg

The World Series is officially over and unless you're a Yankee fan, it's been a pretty anti-climactic affair. Frankly, in past years, baseball's biggest matchup has been a bit more thrilling. On the other hand, in the movies, the World Series is pretty much always exciting. In A League of Their Own (1992), for example, Geena Davis loses the game, possibly on purpose, by dropping a ball at home plate. In The Scout (1994), Brendan Fraser strikes out all 27 batters on 81 pitches and hits a couple of home runs. Take that Derek Jeter! So which is more thrilling: The World Series on the big screen or in the ballpark?

One on One - Fright Flicks Versus Thrillers

one-on-one-horror-thriller-.jpg

Around Halloween it can seem like there's nothing to see but scary movies. Right now, for example, Paranormal Activity and Saw VI are top at the box office and The House of the Devil is on its way. But not everyone wants to get their jolly's from being freaked out by demons. Never fear! A few good ol' fashioned thrillers are in theaters now (or soon) as well: Law Abiding Citizen with Jaime Foxx, and Boondock Saints II (with Billy Connolly).  Which type of heart-racing movie is your style: Fright flick or thriller?

One on One - Live Action Kids Movies Versus Cartoon Kids Movies

one-on-one-kids-movies-live.jpg

The latest kids movie juggernaut, Where the Wild Things Are, is something of a rarity for a kids flick these days. While it utilizes the latest in CGI and puppetry, its principal character is a living, breathing, real actor. Recent kids' movies lean far more heavily toward the animated. This year alone, Up, Monsters Vs. Aliens and Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs have captivated children and adults with cartoon kids. Which do you prefer: The live action of Where the Wild Things Are or the animation of movies like Up?

One on One - Evil Stepfathers Versus Evil Stepmothers

step-one-on-one-560.jpg

The wicked stepmother is a character as old as time. But even more recently, we find kids still can't get along with their surrogate moms in the horror flick The Uninvited (2009) and the romantic fluff of Ever After (1999). With The Stepfather now in theaters, the question arises: Is having an evil stepfather even worse? Which stepparent is more likely to give you the willies? A stepfather or a stepmother?

One on One - Barrymore the Blonde Versus Barrymore the Brunette

barrymore-hairone-one-560.jpg

You may think of Drew Barrymore, director of the new roller derby flick Whip It, as Hollywood's ultimate blonde. Even as the precocious child in E.T. (1982), she was known for those trademark golden locks. Perhaps relishing her split role as the actor-director of Whip It, Barrymore currently sports a hairdo that's part blonde, part black. Which reminds us just how good she looked in flicks like Donnie Darko (2001), Fever Pitch (2005), Lucky You (2007), and He's Just Not That Into You (2009). So how do you like your Drew?

One on One - Funny Zombies Versus Scary Zombies

one-one-one-zombies.jpg

Zombieland is the latest film to insist that zombies are better funny than scary. As such, the horror spoof, starring Woody Harrelson and Jesse Eisenberg, owes far more to the hilarious comedy Shaun of the Dead (2004) than it does to the terrifying undead flicks of George Romero. But how do you like your zombies? Silly or creepy?

One on One - Megan Fox: Evil Versus Good

one-on-one-2megan-fox.jpg

When it comes to the recently released Jennifer's Body there's really only one question: Just how hot is Megan Fox this time around? After Transformers (2007) made her a star, Fox became an object of male fantasy the world over. Who cares whether she's the "World's Hottest Woman," (according to FHM Magazine) or merely its second hottest (according to Maxim)? Still, there's one other question worth entertaining: Is she hotter as a smoking-hot good girl a la Transformers or as a possessed bad girl a la Jennifer's Body? We know you love her, but you'll have to choose: Do you like Megan Fox good or very, very bad?

One on One - Fashion Documentaries Versus Faux Fashion Flicks (or Wintour Vs. The Devil)

one-on-one-sept-issue.jpg

Sometimes, a true story is just as entertaining as fiction. That's what the producers of The September Issue believe. Their documentary details the release of an issue of Vogue as well as the life of its infamous editor Anna Wintour. Even the unfashionable may be familiar with Wintour thanks to The Devil Wears Prada, a fictional fashion flick starring Meryl Streep in a role inspired by Wintour. Do you prefer the real deal when it comes to Wintour and her mag? Or do you think The Devil Wears Prada is infinitely more entertaining?
