Uwe Boll Signing Event in Los Angeles on Nov. 7th

Love him or hate him, the one thing that is undeniable about Uwe Boll is that he's is the leader of bringing classic video games to the big screen. While his movies are not exactly what you would consider critically acclaimed, the larger than life Boll has become one of the main topics of discussion (and controversy) in the gaming community since he first brought the video game classic House of the Dead to celluloid in 2003. From there he's produced and directed films based on Alone in the Dark, BloodRayne, Far Cry, Dungeon Siege and Postal. The most shocking thing is that his latest film, Rampage, isn't based on the 1986 Midway arcade hit.

If you want to meet the German madman who literally boxes his critics, flings personal insults at Michael Bay, and has made nearly 10 video game inspired flicks, he will be making a rare U.S. in-store appearance this weekend (November 7th) in Van Nuys, CA at the video store Spudic's Movie Empire. The two hour signing will begin at 6PM, with Boll present to chat it up and sign autographs. Spudic's Movie Empire will have Boll's movies on hand as well as a selection of old school NES, Super NES, Sega Genesis and Sega CD games at the event for retro gaming fans.
