Is this a real thing or just some bad internet parody? I'm afraid I can't tell anymore when it comes to Uwe.
I'm thinking Boll should stick to horror movies that accidentally turn into comedies, not comedies that accidentally turn into horror shows.
This looks extremely funny ! For all the wrong reasons.... :teddyr:
Seriously, can anyone genuinely defend Uwe Boll's work? Did he make anything worth watching? I sat through all of Bloodrayne and about half of House of the Dead and concluded from those two experiences that he makes movies that are just totally unwatchable.
I'd just love to see that but, um...ah...I gotta go to bed early. Whatever night it's on :teddyr:

Yeah, I defend HOUSE OF THE DEAD. I think it's a great parody of a zombie action movie. It's so funny I almost Uwe's extremely clever and made it that way on purpose.
It's better than whatever his next VG film is.
Of course It's still horrible. Can't wait to see it's IMDB rating.
Take your bets!
My bet:
Between between 2-3
House Of The Dead is defiantly one his better works alongside Rampage.
I'd say he is improving, but why this?
I will say (kinda) in his defense that Dungeon Siege was the most mediocre movie I have ever not. It wasn't bad enough to actively hate and every time it started to get that way, they'd throw in something that was halfway interesting, just halfway mind you. They weren't able to take the interesting idea or visual and do anything good with it, but it was enough to give you hope.

His newer stuff (specifically Rampage) has been getting some good word lately.
I wouldn't waste my breath on him. He's in it for the money. He f**ks with German tax laws when his film fails. They blow on purpose. Look at how little effort went into "Alone in The Dark". I could have directed a better film, and I'm in high school!

He can longer do that, in fact he hasn't done it for several films now. You need to stay updated.
I don't keep up to date on talentless hacks. Thanks though.

I will defend Uncle Uwe because of the film he made in South Africa entitled
Darfur aka
Attack On Darfur ~ I was in tears throughout most of it. It is an emotionally devastating film with horrific acts of violence and ghastly deaths ~ all based on fact ~ but despite all the horror, there is some hope at the end of the film, a tiny, heart-rending sound of life in the midst of so much death and horror.
At the end of the film, I burst into tears and the silence at the end of the premiere screening was deafening: no coughing, no talking, no clapping. The producer Chris Roland introduced himself to us and said "I'm sorry if you thought that you were coming here to be entertained: Uwe and myself didn't set out to entertain anyone." :buggedout:
After seeing
Darfur, I think
Blubberella might be about me seeing as how I cried so damn much throughout it.
Something was wrong with my video player... I though I saw a fat lady trying to be funny while killing germans...

:buggedout: Yeah...brain cramp...definitly brain cramp...
Can't wait for the DVD, this and Bloodrayne 3 looks so damn awesome. Just ordered Darfur on DVD, anyone else own a Boll DVD collection? :D
While I haven't seen it yet, I think this has the potential to be a funny parody of action films. It already looks funnier then Epic Movie, Disaster Movie, Meet the Spartans and the rest of those supposed "comedies".

Schindler's List was funnier than those movies.

I have thought the same thing about
In the Name of the King. There is a lightness of touch and subtle humour there that may be at odds with the film's roots in a video game. I think Uwe has potential and should broaden his field a bit. I just hope he continues to get opportunities to do so.

I would recommend that you see
Darfur, Newt (keep the tissues handy, though: I needed them and didn't have any, so I had to use my sleeve instead :buggedout:) and you'll see the work of a multi-talented filmmaker most of whose past movies will be forgotten very quickly after seeing this. The music by Jessica DeRooij prepares you for something bad to happen and when it is does, you're totally unprepared.

I've seen that now. You were quite right, damn good movie. Really looking forward to Bloodrayne 3 :o)
Rampage was solid, generally quite well made. Not perfect, but I'd never have guessed it was from the same man as Alone in the Dark or Bloodrayne. On that note, I did find Bloodrayne entertaining. It's terrible, but enjoyable. Alone in the Dark is just terrible.
I also hear Tunnel Rats is genuinely good, but I haven't seen it.
There's a discussion of BLUBBERELLA going on on a "fat women and the men who love them" forum I'm active on. It's interesting seeing the film debated from a B-movie perspective and a body-image perspective.

Really?
As I understand it, this was shot at the same time as BloodRayne 3 and on the same sets and is supposed to be a parody of sorts of those films...
You know Boll is said to play Hitler in that film? That man has problems.
