Funny Games $23.76 Notoriously nihilistic filmmaker Michael Haneke revisits one of his most controversial works in this remake of 1997's Funny Games starring Naomi Watts and Tim Roth. When a family of three arrives at their remote summer cabin for a quiet getaway, the sudden arrival of two psychotic men sets the stage for a harrowing life-or-death struggle that offers savage commentary on the use of violence in entertainment. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi and Georgie (Devon Gearhart) arrive in their country home, Peter (Brady Corbet), an eerily polite young man dressed all in white, including odd white gloves, appears on the doorstep, asking Ann if he can borrow some eggs for their neighbor. Peter is joined by Paul (Michael Pitt), and the Leopold-and-Loeb-like duo are soon doing horrible things to Ann, George, and Georgie, torturing them both physically and psychologically (nearly all the violence occurs off-screen), for no apparent reason other than they can, referring to the whole thing as a game. And the biggest game of all is whether the family will be alive at the end. FUNNY GAMES is an intense experience, driven by Haneke's careful manipulation of both the film itself and the audience. He's trying to shake up the viewer, even having Paul address the audience directly several times, with Paul fully aware of what he is doing and how the audience is most likely responding. And in one unforgettable scene, Haneke pulls the cathartic rug right out from under the viewer, playing with the actual medium of cinema in an infuriating and ingenious way. Roth and Watts give outstanding performances as the victims, matched by Pitt and Corbet's deeply unsettling creepiness. Just as Peter and Paul (who also call themselves Tom and Jerry and Beavis and Butt-Head) alternate between calm and violent, the soundtrack alternates between classical music by Handel, Mozart, and others and hardcore punk from John Zorn and Naked City. Though difficult to watch, FUNNY GAMES is ultimately a rewarding and illuminating film, though not for the squeamish. |

The Meaning of Video Games $34.95 The Meaning of Video Games takes a textual studies approach to an increasingly important form of expression in today’s culture. It begins by assuming that video games are meaningful–not just as sociological or economic or cultural evidence, but in their own right, as cultural expressions worthy of scholarly attention. In this way, this book makes a contribution to the study of video games, but it also aims to enrich textual studies. Early video game studies scholars were quick to point out that a game should never be reduced to merely its "story" or narrative content and they rightly insist on the importance of studying games as games. But here Steven E. Jones demonstrates that textual studies–which grows historically out of ancient questions of textual recension, multiple versions, production, reproduction, and reception–can fruitfully be applied to the study of video games. Citing specific examples such as Myst and Lost , Katamari Damacy , Halo , Façade , Nintendo’s Wii , and Will Wright’s Spore , the book explores the ways in which textual studies concepts–authorial intention, textual variability and performance, the paratext, publishing history and the social text–can shed light on video games as more than formal systems. It treats video games as cultural forms of expression that are received as they are played, out in the world, where their meanings get made. |

Wicked Games $8.46 A number of men with a reason to kill must deal with the actions of another man who is spilling blood in a wealthy Florida suburb in this violent thriller. After years of chronic infidelity, Gary Bloch (Kevin Scott Crawford) is getting his comeuppance when he learns that his wife, Traci (Patricia Paul), is having an affair. Driven mad by jealousy, Gary confides his thoughts of killing his spouse to Dan Hess (Joel D. Wynkoop), a longtime friend who works as a police detective, and is also involved in a destructive sexual relationship. As he tries to reassure his friend and convince him not to kill himself or someone else, Dan remembers that Gary's cousin is Mike Strauber, a notorious local serial killer. Wondering if there might be a familial link in Gary and Mike's desire to turn to violence, Dan discusses this notion with David Siedow (Kermit Christman), a local psychiatrist with a history of working with criminals. Dan's real reason for visiting David is to establish Gary as a possible suspect when Dan kills his troublesome girlfriend, as well as Traci. However, while David is on to Dan's scheme, this makes things all the more puzzling for him when another killer arrives on the scene. Wicked Games is a loose follow-up to an earlier direct-to-video feature from writer and director Tim Ritter. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi |
Whats Wrong With Video Games
Video game titles in many cases are belittled with regards to part in impacting youngster behaviour, and their part in physical violence and hostility. Violent game titles are already held responsible for college shootings raises in intimidation, and physical violence in the direction of females. Actively playing violent game titles decreases physical violence in teenage kids by helping as a replacement for challenging and tumble play.
Stating that video gaming cause you to be much more violent or utilizing them being a scapegoat for physical violence that's been perpetrated towards somebody is merely lack of knowledge. I've enjoyed violent video gaming all my lifetime equally just for fun but for the levels of competition they provide. When youngsters look at violence in game titles, they are more inclined to dread being a target of acts of physical violence.
If mothers and fathers are worried that the youngster is investing a lot of time gaming or seems preoccupied or obsessive about hostile or violent video game titles, they need to initially set some limitations (for instance - taking part in the video games for just one hour following all homework is completed) and then try to motivate your son or daughter to take part in alternative activities. Income of game titles have far more than quadrupled from 1995-2008, even though the criminal arrest rate for teen murders dropped seventy one. The press particularly likes to bash video gaming, making certain to indicate whenever there's an Xbox 360 inside of fifty meters of an offense.
It's pretty sure that physical violence in game titles along with other press can desensitize folks; also it definitely places pictures in your mind that wouldn't be there normally. It's not accurate, that game titles motivate anti-social factors and physical violence. A causal link in between violent game titles and violent conduct is not confirmed.
