Tunnel Rats -- N/A

Yes, it's true; Uwe Boll has made a movie NOT based on a video game! (Technically, his pre-House of the Dead films weren't video game adaptations, either.) What's more, Tunnel Rats is based on the true experiences of soldiers who specialized in dangerous underground missions during the Vietnam War, which qualifies this as a serious Boll film -- historical fiction, even. Tunnel Rats tells the fictional story of a group of American soldiers who patrol the underground tunnels of Cu Chi, avoiding booby traps and fighting the Viet Cong armed only with pistols and flashlights. In between bloody, brutal set pieces, Boll's actors amble about camp (he claims the script was largely improvised) and critics, though mixed, admit that it's pretty good, considering the source. Will you give this Golden Raspberry-winning film a shot this week?

When "Street Fighter" isn't the worst movie of the week...something is SERIOUSLY wrong! I'm looking at you "Transmorphers 2"! I saw the first, and had to shower in holy water to get the awfulness off me.

Boll needs to jump off a cliff. He ruined Far Cry.

Why the **** has no one kicked Uwe Boll's ***. Please no more critics trying to box him. But, there has got to be someone in hollywood who wants to kick the **** out of him(Michael Bay?).

P.S.- Can't wait for Kane and Lynch. Stay away Uwe Boll!

Ah yes, Transmorphers. Made by The Asylum, the crappy movie studio that also brought you Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus.

rambo-killer: I never thought I'd root for Michael Bay, but if they were forced to fight it's a no brainer.

arnedr: "Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus" is their best...that shows how good they are.

Really doesn't look like a good week. No, I will not give the Razzie winning film a shot. However I can highy recommend Two Lovers to anyone. I caught it in theatres and very much enjoyed it. It is a realistic romance. Very good film. Highly recommended. Other than that nothing I have interest in

His serious films may suck, but I thought Postal was hilarious.

Actually, M. Bay actually responded to Boll bashing him

http://www.bingegamer.net/2008/michael-bay-uwe-boll-is-a-sad-being/

He doesn't care the least. At least Bay's movies are making a ton of money despite scathing reviews.

I know it's a bad week for good movies, but there's something about having:

- new Uwe Boll
- Street (4%) Fighter
- Transmorphers 2 (did you see that CG robot?)
- Fred Durst directing a movie
- new Renny Harlin
- and a 00% Hal Ashby movie.

I find this week in DVD highly amusing. Then again, I'm sort of fascinated with bad movies.

JEN OUT!

I might see Street Fighter just for laughs... I love terrible cheesy movies, which makes me want to see Transmorphers as well (which I'm sure is still better than the material its ripping off. I mean, at least its funny, even if it is unintentional, which I actually don't think it is, but yeah...).

However, Tokyo! and Two Lovers sound great, especially Tokyo! because I'm a total Japanophile (and no, that doesn't mean I just love anime and sushi, I pretty much am fascinated with everything from/about Japan besides those two things), I'm looking at you Jen. (Yamato is Japanese, right? I already feel creepy enough, but if I'm wrong... yikes).

I really do love how RT bashes many of these films then shamelessly self promotes exclusive clips and such. (and no. I'm not being sarcastic, I really do like it!)Speaking of shameless self promotion, here's my [crappy and useless] twitter account! http://twitter.com/AronDej

Good article Jen, I LOL'd lots. (oh, and don't I use parentheses too much?)
