The original  21 Jump Street was one of those ‘80s shows that seemed really cool at the time but looking back on it nowadays you’re embarrassed you ever liked it. It’s worth watching for the glimpse at Johnny Depp’s early, pre-superstardom career and perhaps as a fun stroll down Regrettable ‘80s Fashion Lane, but not much else.

You’ve most likely heard by now that the  Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are about to become the Teenage ALIEN Ninja Turtles in the upcoming 2013 film produced by Michael Bay. In a video quote that has gotten TMNT fans’ collective panties in a bunch to the point where even ex-TMNT celebrities and major news outlets [...]]]> http://shezcrafti.com/why-teenage-alien-ninja-turtles-is-a-terrible-idea/feed/ 2 http://shezcrafti.com/13-unique-etsy-finds-inspired-by-labyrinth/ http://shezcrafti.com/13-unique-etsy-finds-inspired-by-labyrinth/#comments Tue, 21 Feb 2012 03:35:36 +0000 shezcrafti http://shezcrafti.com/?p=3254
I was cruising around on Etsy today (as I often tend to do when I have  money burning a hole in my pocket) and came across some pretty awesome handmade creations inspired by the greatest 80’s fantasy film,  Labyrinth.   Below is a sampling of the most interesting items I could find, which range from [...]]]> http://shezcrafti.com/13-unique-etsy-finds-inspired-by-labyrinth/feed/ 0 http://shezcrafti.com/safety-not-guaranteed-meme-is-now-a-movie/ http://shezcrafti.com/safety-not-guaranteed-meme-is-now-a-movie/#comments Mon, 30 Jan 2012 15:30:47 +0000 shezcrafti http://shezcrafti.com/?p=2532
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 [...]]]> http://shezcrafti.com/safety-not-guaranteed-meme-is-now-a-movie/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 [...]]]> http://shezcrafti.com/star-wars-uncut-is-a-fan-made-orgy-of-nerds-memes-kittens-and-light-sabers/feed/ 0 http://shezcrafti.com/happytime-murders-who-wants-to-see-an-r-rated-muppet-movie/ http://shezcrafti.com/happytime-murders-who-wants-to-see-an-r-rated-muppet-movie/#comments Tue, 30 Nov 2010 05:45:53 +0000 shezcrafti http://shezcrafti.com/?p=1204
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.

When I first learned that Warner Bros. was going to split  Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows into two movies, there was much kicking and screaming on my part.  I was not alone.  There were plenty of fans and non-fans alike who felt it was a poor decision, and one that further painted Warner Bros.

If you’re a horror fan like me who enjoys vampire stories with a dose of realism (a’la Let the Right One In ‚ The Reflecting Skin, Grace), then Midnight Son should be on your radar.  It’s an independent film with a limited release from writer/director/producer Scott Leberecht.

Despite yesterday’s major geekgasm news that Sam Raimi will be taking up reigns as director of the highly-anticipated movie World of Warcraft , I remain pessimistic. The World of Warcraft movie will suck, and here’s why: First, let’s get the obvious out of the way.  As a general rule, movies based on video games suck.

So it’s like 3:30 a.m., and I just got home from the midnight showing of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince .  I could go to bed, but I had to get a few things off my mind first while my memories are still fresh.  Legilimens!

What can you do with $3,000 and a group of dedicated LOTR fans?  Make a kick-ass fan movie, that’s what.   The Hunt for Gollum  is a 40-minute fan-made film based on the Lord of the Rings books and movies.  And more importantly, it’s good.   Surprisingly so. Based on Tolkien’s appendices,  The Hunt for Gollum [...]]]> http://shezcrafti.com/lotr-fan-film-3000-of-awesome/feed/ 1 http://shezcrafti.com/live-action-ninja-turtles-return-for-2011/ http://shezcrafti.com/live-action-ninja-turtles-return-for-2011/#comments Wed, 29 Apr 2009 00:25:44 +0000 shezcrafti http://shezcrafti.com/?p=282
In geeky movie news this month that makes me feel like a fifth-grader again, TMNT co-creater Peter Laird confirmed in Variety rumors of another live-action  Turtles  movie planned for 2011.  The announcement comes on the heels of  TMNT’s 25th anniversary celebration.  Other than making me feel old, I’m also damn excited.  Because in Hollywood, everything I [...]]]> http://shezcrafti.com/live-action-ninja-turtles-return-for-2011/feed/ 3 http://shezcrafti.com/totally-emo-movie-heroes/ http://shezcrafti.com/totally-emo-movie-heroes/#comments Sun, 26 Apr 2009 20:31:37 +0000 shezcrafti http://shezcrafti.com/?p=263
There’s been a disturbing trend in Hollywood over the last couple of years: invasion of the emos.  Aparently we girls like our movie heroes hot, angry, and whiny.  For whatever reason, the hot male lead + pent-up angst formula seems to be working, because emo sells.  All of the specimens listed here can typically be [...]]]> http://shezcrafti.com/totally-emo-movie-heroes/feed/ 1 http://shezcrafti.com/coraline-a-modern-day-wizard-of-oz/ http://shezcrafti.com/coraline-a-modern-day-wizard-of-oz/#comments Wed, 11 Feb 2009 06:42:40 +0000 shezcrafti http://shezcrafti.com/?p=155
Coraline is one of those movies I knew I would love before I even knew anything about it. Between being written by fantasy god Neil Gaiman , directed by Henry Selick (The Nightmare Before Christmas) , and featuring dark and dreamy stop-motion visuals, it just had my name written all over it. Nevermind that I [...]]]> http://shezcrafti.com/coraline-a-modern-day-wizard-of-oz/feed/ 2
