The 5 Movies Based on Videogames That Uwe Boll SHOULD Make!

Uwe Boll is known the world over as a destroyer of hopes and dreams when it comes to movies based on video games. He has directed, produced and butchered the movie versions of games such as: Dungeon Siege, Bloodrayne, House of the Dead, and Postal. He also has 4 more movies based on video games coming out in the next 2 years, including a movie based on the mind-blowing Far Cry. His destruction of videogame movie genre (if there really is one) is so complete, that whenever a new videogame movie is announced, all gamers cringe and hope that they don’t see involvement from Uwe Boll.

It was not like I was making copies of a rented movie and taking them back to the store, I just wanted to make back-ups to be able to save the original.
