Crappy movies are, by definition, crappy. That doesn’t mean that they’re not worth a bit of recognition, does it? A new blog called Fake Criterions<\/a> shows that even the worst movies can look pretty good in a Criterion-style cover.<\/p>\n

It’s a simple enough site, with just one image posted each day, but it’s blowing up. It’s even been named one of the 60 best new blogs on Tumblr along with, well, 59 or so other image-a-day sites. Still, it’s well worth the visit.<\/p>\n

You’ll find plenty of great posters for horribly undeserving movies like ‘Biodome’, ‘Leprechaun’, and ‘Soul Man’. My personal favorite is Kathyrn Bigelow’s ‘Point Break’. Oh, and one more that I’ve included below to give you a taste of the greatness. See if you can guess what it is before you click to enlarge and read the title at the bottom.<\/p>\n
