Take Two

Review: "Postal"

It may not be easy being Uwe Boll, but it must be fun. I conclude this only after having met the guy (and gotten on his emailing list, which is not recommended—you get multiple spammy missives about All Things Uwe every freakin’ day). He’s disarmingly friendly, boundlessly energetic, a fanboy-turned-maker who thinks large and has the entrepreneurial skills to pull off his ideas in the real entertainment-biz world. Who else could have cobbled together funding for so many modest-to-fairly-big-budget features without any major Hollywood studio backing whatsoever? Not to mention his talents as an ebullient self-promoter, one who seizes on bad press (of which he gets plenty) as a license for public pugnaciousness.
