'Mindsweep—The Movie' is a fake trailer tribute to all video games that are made into movies, with the tag line “Now that it’s a movie, you can use it to procrastinate for a full 90 minutes.”

This fake movie trailer is a hilarious twist on the Windows game Minesweeper. The representation of the game as an action movie will make you full from your chair laughing.

Written by Elephant Larry and directed by Sam Reich, “Mindsweep—The Movie” can be found on CollegeHumor.com.
