Uwe Boll’s FarCry Movie Isn’t Far, But Makes Me Cry
Consider this a warning: Uwe Boll’s newest videogame movie is hitting DVD next Tuesday (direct-to-DVD, it might be added) and I’m telling you about it so you don’t accidentally watch it. On the plus side, Boll wasn’t able to convince/blackmail his regular stable of horrible actors like Kristanna Loken or perpetually slumming good actors like Ben Kingsley to show up, so that’s something. Maybe somebody is learning something from this cinematic trainwrecks. Now if only those people would be the ones who keep giving Boll money to make movies. (Via IGN)
