12/07: After reading so much about Uwe Boll, I finally managed to see one of his films: Alone in the Dark.

Widely proclaimed to be the worst picture of the year, I kept my expectations low. Getting through the first half, Alone in the Dark seemed mediocre, and then, I was put to deep sleep during the second. Mind telling me what the story is all about?

Coupled with a made-for-TV feel, the special effects are dreadful. The monsters are ripped-off from the Alien quadrilogy. When I saw the protective gear the soldiers put on themselves, it looked like they were getting ready for a roller derby race. James Caan, anyone? What the heck happened to Christian Slater? He's too good for this junk. Of the cast, Tara Reid kills the film.

All in all, I'm never seeing another movie by Uwe Boll.
