One of the greatest internet memes of all time is now a movie.  Safety Not Guaranteed is a film based on the mysterious real classified ad pictured above, which first appeared in a weekly Danish newspaper.  The ad was later paired with the accompanying photo of a rather serious-looking young man who seems to have stepped [...]]]> http://shezcrafti.com/safety-not-guaranteed-meme-is-now-a-movie/feed/ 0 http://shezcrafti.com/my-top-10-most-anticipated-movies-of-2012/ http://shezcrafti.com/my-top-10-most-anticipated-movies-of-2012/#comments Mon, 30 Jan 2012 14:00:28 +0000 shezcrafti http://shezcrafti.com/?p=2456
I hope you’re prepared to fork over a lot of cash to Hollywood, because 2012 is going to be a kick-ass year for movies.  Our first year of Life After Harry Potter™ will be one filled with promise.  New trilogies will begin, beloved trilogies will end, and some of the biggest and best directors are [...]]]> http://shezcrafti.com/my-top-10-most-anticipated-movies-of-2012/feed/ 0 http://shezcrafti.com/abraham-lincoln-kicking-some-undead-ass-in-new-vampire-hunter-image/ http://shezcrafti.com/abraham-lincoln-kicking-some-undead-ass-in-new-vampire-hunter-image/#comments Sun, 29 Jan 2012 16:31:08 +0000 shezcrafti http://shezcrafti.com/abraham-lincoln-kicking-some-undead-ass-in-new-vampire-hunter-image/

The premise:  the original Star Wars movie cut into 15-second segments to be re-filmed by thousands of fans and then carefully edited together into an amusing patchwork of fan-generated footage.  The resulting film is an awesome retelling of Star Wars, Episode IV: A New Hope through the eyes and creative talents of Star Wars fans around [...]]]> http://shezcrafti.com/star-wars-uncut-is-a-fan-made-orgy-of-nerds-memes-kittens-and-light-sabers/feed/ 0 http://shezcrafti.com/must-watch-amazing-live-action-short-film-based-on-portal/ http://shezcrafti.com/must-watch-amazing-live-action-short-film-based-on-portal/#comments Tue, 23 Aug 2011 23:32:03 +0000 shezcrafti http://shezcrafti.com/?p=2314

If you’re a fan of the darker side of Henson (Mirrormask, Labyrinth, Farscape) and ever wondered what an adult Muppet movie could be like, you’ll probably be interested in the upcoming dark comedy Happytime Murders. Well, okay, Happytime Murders isn’t really a Muppet movie.  At least not in the Kermit and Miss Piggy sense.

In case you missed yesterday’s news, it was announced that Atlas Entertainment and Warner Bros. will be “rebooting” Buffy the Vampire Slayer for the big screen.  A new Buffy movie is planned for 2012–and Joss Whedon has nothing to do with it. “There is an active fanbase eagerly awaiting this character’s return to the bigscreen,” [...]]]> http://shezcrafti.com/do-not-want-a-whedon-less-buffy-movie/feed/ 0
