Industries Spike
What are you thoughts on the?
constant changing and blaming discussions that keep being tossed on the music, movie and video game industry. Is the spike in violence truly to be blamed on them soley or do you agree that the parents are just as guilty if not more guilty for this buy allowing kids to watch, listen and play said items?
It is the parent’s fault; plain and simple. There are all kinds of regulations and rules involved with the sale of violent and adult appropriate titles to minors and it is the parents that are skirting these rules for their precious little snowflakes so that little Madison or Regan or Skyler can run wild on the television instead of having engaging interactions with their parents.
Just look at any video game sales board discussion… any game store employee can attest to the selling of violent video games to minors with less-than-attentive parents who care more about their impending trip to the Mickey D’s than the media their children are exposed to.

Juice $3.30 Spike Lee’s longtime cinematographer, Ernest R. Dickerson, made his directorial debut with this violent story about four Harlem teens whose lives are changed when a store robbery goes wrong. The film has been likened to an urban The Wild Bunch, but it is far too artificial for that. With Dickerson’s eye, Juice understandably looks great, but at the end of the day it is only a slightly better versi… |

Old Yeller [VHS] $4.86 There’s nothing hip about this vintage Disney film that begins and ends with a corny song about the “best doggone dog in the West.” But that’s the beauty of Old Yeller, originally released in 1957. The simple, heart-warming story of a boy who bonds with a feisty stray dog in 1860s Texas is full of 1950s sensibilities: A Donna Reed-style perfect “Momma” (Dorothy McGuire) who knows best, a couple o… |

When We Were Kings [VHS] $3.75 Decades ago, documentary filmmaker Leon Gast attempted to complete a feature about the 1974 “Rumble in the Jungle” championship bout between boxers Muhammad Ali and George Foreman in Kinshasa, Zaire. Sundry complications, though, held up the project until its release in 1996. It was well worth the delay. From Gast’s perspective of modern history, the six weeks Ali and Foreman were forced to spend … |
