Far Cry Trailer

I’m convinced that Uwe Boll will soon create a movie so bad that it will be like an unintentional Springtime for Hitler in real life. Unfortunately, Far Cry doesn’t look like that kind of movie. Instead, it looks far too generic. Uwe Boll must have really mailed this effort in, when he could...

Another Brutal but Awesome Trailer for HBO’s The Pacific
