Brackets Updated

The first days results are in with around 50 votes per movie (keep sending to friends!)...

The Shawshank Region
1. Shawshank Redemption 89% over 32. Jurassic Park 11%
Recap: Shawshank came out a little slow against the auto bid Jurassic Park, but in the end the likes of Morgan Freeman and Tim Robbins were just to much for a bunch of dinosaurs

16. Die Hard 74% over 17. Snatch 26%
Recap: A snoozer of 16/17 seeded match-up with Die Hard's Yippee-ki-yay, mofo taking over.  An interesting match-up in round 2 with Shawshank Redemption has arisen

8. Alien 96% over The Network 4%
Recap: Number eight seed Alien takes advantage of little known '70's movie the Network and seals the biggest win of the tournament so far.  Can it hold up against...

9. Taxi Driver 92% over 24. How to Train Your Dragon 8%
Recap: The classic vs. the new kid on the block, the classic with Robert DeNiro runs away with the show setting up a round two match-up with eight seed Alien

The Godfather Region
26.  Stand By Me 74% over 7. American History X 26%
Recap: Our first upset of the tournament was a blowout for the nostalgic Stand By Me over a heavily favored American History X.  At the end of the day American History X just couldn't match up to the trio of Corey Feldman, Jerry O'Connell, and River Phoenix.  One word..devastating

10. The Departed 95% over Into the Wild 5%
Recap: Just a pure mismatch from the start.  Gangster movie vs. a tree hugger movie (Although I enjoyed it) is a no doubter amongst my list of FB friends.  The big question is can the Gangsters over take the trio from Stand By Me.  I think so...

15. Indiana Jones & the Last Crusade 67% over Toy Story 33%
Recap: Much closer than expected...I mean what were you people thinking!!

31. Rain Man 67% over Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King 33%
Recap: This is the definition of upset or is it??  I think there was some strong arming here from Mr. BDub himself and his Facebook comments.  The tournament committee (me) will be looking in to this as a possible fix

Remember we have live match-ups to vote on here on the site (to the right) or on Facebook

Additionally there will be more games added to be voted on today with results being updated tomorrow

Here's the updated bracket.
