I've only seen BloodRayne myself, and it was definately horrible. And it's not like I have particularly high standards when it comes to mindless action entertainment .

His "House of the Dead" is currently number 34 on the IMDB bottom top 100.

I found this particular quote from a recent news article at EuroGamer particularly funny (and to the guy's credit, he must have a sense of humour about his own work, as he's apparantly the source here):

"Renegade film director Uwe Boll has told MTV that he approached Blizzard for the film rights to World of Warcraft.

He was not-so-politely refused. According to Boll, "I got in contact with [chief operating officer] Paul Sams of Blizzard, and he said, 'We will not sell the movie rights, not to you... especially not to you.'""
I had no idea about the director or that it was even based on a game so I can't say if it was butchered or not. I just know it kept my attention so it was ok. Not one that I'd run out and buy but it was alright for something to watch.
