Am I losing my tiny little mind, or does this thing actually look fairly interesting? I’ll be the first admit that I haven’t been nice to director Uwe Boll during my tenure as an online “writer”, but I’ve never gone as far as to send the poor bastard death threats. Apparently people have, and that’s just one of the areas filmmaker Dan Lee West’s upcoming documentary “Raging Boll” explores when it arrives on DVD this August. I’m intrigued to hear Boll’s side of the story. Here’s what you can expect from the flick: Widely recognized as the planet’s worst film director, Uwe Boll embarks on a quest to conquer Hollywood and take vengeance upon the film fanatics striving to destroy him. Filmed over three years on and off the set, ‘Raging Boll’ is a walk in the shoes of a man people love to hate.
