In The Name of the Shitty German Director (Funny Movie Review)
http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servl...rtainment/home
Ah, Uwe Boll. He is the real life version of "The Producers" (his german tax loophole's been closed, but as long as the movie entered pre-production before 2007, it still applies, he put like six movies into pre-production at the end of 2006, so we still have a few more to go through, including "Postal". Excerpt from "liveblog" style review: 7:15 p.m. Flick finally starts. Appear to be in a medieval castle. The bedroom. Naked Ray Liotta spoons naked Leelee Sobieski. Close-up of Ray. Looks like he just jetted first-class into Middle Ages. Straight from Goodfellas. That's some Witness Protection Program Last edited by SirFozzie : 01-11-2008 at 11:35 AM. |

Uwe Boll once again is DA BOMB... in a bad way.
Uwe Boll has done it again. Like House of the Dead, Alone in the Dark, and BloodRayne, the latest game-based film from the outspoken--but never outpunched--German director, In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale, has bombed critically and commercially. After reviewers got medieval on the RPG-inspired fantasy/adventure, audiences shunned it like the Bubonic Plague. From Friday, January 11 to Sunday, January 13, In the Name of the King took in only $3.3 million in US theaters, averaging just $2,002 on each of its 1,600 screens. The not-so-princely sum wasn't even enough to put the film in the top 10, which was capped by the Jack Nicholson/Morgan Freeman cancer comedy The Bucket List. |

That's really about $3.299999 million more than that movie deserved to make.

I read somewhere that Postal has been getting some actual praise for Uwe Boll. I hope that's not true. And House of the Dead remains the only movie I have ever paid for and walked out of the theater before the end credits rolled.

I'm always curious how this guy gets some pretty good talent for his movies. How does he get people like Kingsly, Reynolds, Liota, Sobieski, etc. None of these people may be in the middle of a fabulous point in their careers, but I don't really believe any of them this doing a Boll movie will help. What makes them sign up for a movie which will probably be hated?

Decent money for doing two days of taping, which gets shoehorned into the rest of the movie.

IE, I can afford to Lose $15 million as a tax break. If I lose $40+ million, that hurts even me!

Did anyone ever see "Postal"? Sadly, I'm curious about it.
