The 9th Hollywood Reel Independent Film Festival (HRIFF) returns to the New Beverly Cinema in December 2012, to screen their most extensive and ambitious program to date. Over 70 films will be featured, including the U.S. Premiere of Uwe Boll’s Bailout: The Age of Greed. Bailout: The Age of Greed is a thriller that looks at the effects of Wall Street’s 2008 financial crisis on an average American pushed to the brink when he loses his savings and decides to take revenge. Inspired by movies like Taxi Driver and Falling Down, this film continues Uwe Boll's evolution from helming video game franchises (BloodRayne and Dungeon Siege) and achieving fame for challenging (and fighting) his harshest film critics in boxing matches to being an auteur of bizarre comedies and innovative thrillers like Postal, Rampage and Darfur. Bailout stars Dominic Purcell, Edward Furlong, Erin Karpluk, John Heard, Keith David, Michael Pare, Clint Howard, Natassia Malthe, Michael Eklund and Eric Roberts. Q&A with director, Uwe Boll, and the entire cast and crew of Bailout will follow the American premiere at HRIFF 2012. HRIFF is held Dec 3-12th 2012 in Los Angeles, CA.

In the Name of the King 3: The Last Mission Acknowledgments About the Author INTRODUCTION Video games have come a long way, baby. What started as an interactive abstract take on ping pong has morphed into a multi-billion dollar a year industry. When certain video game franchises started making oodles and oodles of money, Hollywood came a knockin' to adapt these beloved properties for the silver screen. Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, and Resident Evil notwithstanding, audiences didn't flock to the cinema to watch their interactive favorites writ large. However, they sell pretty well on DVD and Blu-ray and tend to be made on a meager budget. Thus, video game movies continue to be released. No director has made more live-action video game feature films than Uwe Boll. Holding a PhD in Literature from The University of Siegen, Dr. Boll has shot nearly a dozen of these pictures. It should be noted his full filmography is quite varied and not just limited to video game adaptations; his other movies are often dramas with political elements and shall be covered in two more forthcoming volumes: The Films of Uwe Boll Vol.

So, Freunde, Hier Ist Jetzt Alles Egal«
»So, Freunde, hier ist jetzt alles egal« Stefan Höltgen 23.09.2007 Uwe Boll versucht mit seinem neuen Film "Postal" eine Satire auf alles Die Filme von Uwe Boll sind oft von einer hartnäckigen Impertinenz ihres Regisseurs geprägt, die in jeder Einstellung ein "Ist mir doch egal, was ihr denkt" transportiert. Mit "Postal" geht Boll nun zurück zu seinen "komödiantischen" Wurzeln und versucht die "Schere im Kopf" seiner Zuschauer zu beseitigen. Sein Ziel: jedes Tabu brechen aber impertinent bleiben. Das Licht im Kinosaal wird gedimmt und ein Mitarbeiter des UCI Düsseldorf kündigt das Sneak-Preview zu einem besonderen Film und die Anwesenheit des Regisseurs dieses Films an. Uwe Boll tritt vor die Leinwand und beginnt einen kurzen Monolog über das, was in den folgenden zwei Stunden zu sehen sein wird. Er gibt sich bewusst bodenständig und reißt Zoten. Einige im Publikum lachen; andere, die Boll und seine Filme kennen, sind skeptisch. "Nach dem 11. September haben die Filmemacher eine Schere im Kopf", moniert er und schiebt als Anlass für seinen Film "Postal" vorweg, dass er "extrem angepisst über die Weltpolitik ist." Diese Stimmung habe ihn dazu veranlasst, mal mit allen Tabus aufzuräumen und eine Komödie zu drehen, in der jeder sein Fett wegbekommt – fast jeder. "Postal" erzählt vom arbeitslosen Dude (Zack Ward), dessen fettleibige Ehefrau ihn betrügt, der von der Sozialbehörde um seine Unterstützung geprellt, von Bettlern auf offener Straße angegriffen und von seinem Onkel Dave (Dave Foley) für kleine Gaunereien missbrauch wird. Dude will aus dem Ort, der passenderweise "Paradise" heißt, verschwinden. Dazu benötigt er jedoch die finanzielle Unterstützung von Dave.

New Screen Order: How Video Games Are Changing Cinema Interiority
www.thecine-files.com FEATURED SCHOLARSHIP New Screen Order: How Video Games Are Changing Cinema Interiority David Sedman and Randy Clark “Final Fantasy is nothing more than an extravagant video game in which characters fix things, fly things, gather things and shoot things . .(A)fter a while, you want to play it, not just watch it.” -- Robert Wilonsky, film critic1 When Tron was released in 1982, it was quickly recognized as the first significant interface between a motion picture and a video game. In Tron, the main character, Kevin Flynn, is transported from a realistic setting to a video game setting. Once Flynn becomes a part of the video game interface, the audience’s frame of reference becomes the gamespace. While most critics focused on the visual aspects of Tron—Variety for example, calls it “loaded with visual delights but fall(ing) way short of the mark in story and viewer involvement”—the direct translation of the video game characteristics to the movie theater screen would prove to be the more significant trend in the defining of space in American popular film.2 The spatial relationships of the characters in Tron, the camera’s point of view, and the actor’s relationship to the environment are key elements that define the film’s interiority. In the 28 years between the original Tron and its sequel, Tron: Legacy, a very profound transformation came to the movie industry as films created with character- generated imagery (CGI) and having game-like sequences became commonplace.This article discusses how the influences of gaming have transformed character motivations and production processes within cinema.

Baty, M.A. University of Nebraska, 2020 Advisor: Tom Gannon On the face of things, movies and video games are similar mediums. Both engage extensively in visuals and audio, both can indulge in speculative fiction, and there is a healthy amount of sharing of inspiration and content. However, this does not guarantee successful adaptations from one form to another.

Leather and Lace, and a Sword to the Face by Fearless Young Orphan Bloodrayne (2005) Directed by Uwe Boll
Leather and Lace, and a Sword to the Face By Fearless Young Orphan Bloodrayne (2005) Directed by Uwe Boll I’ve seen three other Uwe-Boll movies. They were Alone in the Dark, Dungeon Siege: In the Name of the King, and Far Cry. I played all three of the computer games on which they were based. Y’all know me: I love me some computer games. Uwe Boll is a terrible director, but I have sort of a soft spot for the fact that he’s the guy who makes movies out of computer games – even though in my experience, the movies he makes share the same names as computer games and the similarities kind of end there. I don’t know why I feel this way. Let’s call it a personal failing. Anyway, as far as those other three movies go: Alone in the Dark, I could not finish, because it was such a boring film; Dungeon Siege was an awful movie, but it faintly amused me for a few reasons (see my Hunk of Happiness regarding same, if you care); and Far Cry, though it bore resemblance to the game only because of the shirt that the hero was wearing, was scraping for SyFy channel quality and almost made it there. Thus, I think I’m impressed to say that Bloodrayne is the best Uwe Boll movie I’ve seen. I bought the game Bloodrayne, long ago. Due to some error by some clerk in the store (this was back when you did actually buy games on disks rather than just downloading them) I had a Disk One and then the game said, “Insert Disk Two,” and I was all like, “Hrrrrm, I don’t have a Disk Two, this is a poser,” and I took it back to the store and said, “Errm, Disk Two?” and the clerk said, “Hrrrm, I don’t have a Disk Two either, would you like to exchange that for something else?” and that was how I ended up buying a copy of Baldur’s Gate.
