The worst films of 2006 - Uwe does it again

2006 was a bad, bad year for films. Six of the IMDb bottom eleven came out this year, including the bottom three. You'd think that would have been too much for Uwe Boll to overcome, but he did it. BloodRayne wasn't the worst film or even the second worst at IMDb, Metacritic, or Rotten Tomatoes, but viewed on balance, using the BCS method, it was the champ.

I should clarify. It was the co-champ, tying Tim Allen's Zoom, and the competition was practically a three-way tie, with Crossover only a hair "behind" the leaders.

As I look at the chart, my gut tells me that Crossover should have won. It is rated 1.1 at IMDb, second-worst of all time. (The lowest possible IMDb score is 1.0). It also scored a rare perfect 0% at Rotten Tomatoes, but its quest for the bottom was thwarted by a semi-respectable 30 at Metacritic. I'm almost ashamed to admit that I thought BloodRayne was halfway decent, at least by Uwe's admittedly low standards. Oh, it's no Casablanca, but I got through the thing without the fast forward button, which represents a personal first for a Uwe Boll film!

For reference, here's last year's list, also won by a Uwe Boll masterpiece - the perfect 1-2 punch of Uwe and Tara Reid.
