Hated Director Uwe Boll Takes on His Criticsnew
Speaking to the Mirror from Vancouver, he delivered an uninterrupted five-minute monologue touching on why nobody in Chicago wanted to interview him and he had to fly home after the screening, neo-Nazis, why Alone in the Dark was just as good as Elektra, why Paul Haggis' Crash is "pathetic," and how Postal is an incisive indictment of America.

Uwe Boll's 'Postal' Fails to Comprehend Its Own Corrupt Naturenew
Based on the mindlessly violent series of first-person shooters, Postal contains the same intensely farcical bloodshed, but it's Boll's knuckleheaded misinterpretation of topical humor that really gets me.

Uwe Boll Bores Againnew
In the Name of the King is long on visually confused, thrill-free action and short on everything else that makes a movie pleasurable. Except CGI-enhanced scenery.

Darkness Falls: Leave Uwe Boll's Latest Video Game Adaptation Alonenew
Alone in the Dark, the movie, has very little to do with Alone in the Dark, the game. But whereas the game drew on film noir and the faceless horrors of H.P. Lovecraft to create an ominous atmosphere, the movie seems primarily inspired by Boll's sense of self-satisfaction.

Shadow Playnew
There's a certain majesty to German director Boll's style of filmmaking: a freedom from art, talent, skill of any formal kind, and the sheer pigheadedness to keep going at any cost.
