Trailer Time: Auschwitz, directed by Uwe Boll

The new teaser trailer for laughingstock director Uwe Boll's latest film, Auschwitz, makes me want to kick him in the nads repeatedly. Let's be frank, Uwe Boll is a terrible filmmaker. He has almost single-handedly turned video game adaptations into a joke, and has provided enough unintentional humor in his films that he should have his own statue in the Comedy Hall of Fame. The only thing remotely credible that he did was challenge his critics to a fight....and win.  No matter how many punches he may have landed it's never going to erase the fact that he is the hackiest of hacks. He's a cinematic hatchet man.

The fact that this dude would even dare to make a film about Auschwitz, the location of the most vile acts committed by the Nazis against Jews and other "undesirables" shouldn't surprise me. He is German, so I guess he feels it's a story he can tell...for some reason.  Based on this trailer, it appears to be nothing more than scenes of appalling atrocity and human suffering. Boll isn't known for his nuance. This trailer is a very clear indication of that.  Check it out for yourself, and if you can stand it let us know what you think.
