EW Calls Uwe Boll ‘Cinema’s Worst Director’
Entertainment Weekly, the magazine for people with coffee tables, recently asked the question, “Is Uwe Boll the worst director of all time?” They tried to answer this question by reviewing all of his films AT ONCE. We just like to say that you should never attempt to reenact this stunt at home. These people are professionals, even if they write for Entertainment Weekly.
Entertainment Weekly previewed all of his films including his first three German films before he turned to video games as his milieu.
His first film, “German Fried Movie,” takes a German twist on the “Kentucky Fried Movie” made by John Landis, Jim Abrahms and the Zucker Brothers. The film features sketches about the first Iraq war, religion and even abortion, which is fitting since the film falls apart by the third trimester.
His second film, “Barschel - Murder in Germany,” tackles the mysterious real life death of a German politician. It’s not a comedy, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t hilarious.
His third and final German film, “The First Semester,” is a college comedy about a kid who will inherit his father’s money if he can pass two classes and get a steady girlfriend. Sounds just like Uwe Boll’s audience.
