The causes of violence and criminal behaviour in our society differ on a case to case basis, although generally you would find that bad parenting and a lack of social and moral guidance, poverty, peer pressure, mental health problems or revenge would probably account for much of it.

I don't believe that anyone watching an act of murder, for example, in a film would go out and commit such a crime. The willingness to do so would have to be already present within the mind of an individual, for some reason, before that would happen. Films are not dangerous, but some people most certainly are.

That is the most accurate description I've read of the whole "films influence people" discussion. Well put my friend, well put

I suspect these things are a mixture of teenage stupidty ( I had a few parties that got out of hand as a teenager in the late 90's lots of britpop and cheap larger) and social networking that encourages these things to get way out of hand. There have been a few of these mental parties before project x hit the shelves, I really dont belive its all that films fault when these things happen.

The Woodsman and the Rain

It's a very nice film - it's a Japanese drama with a few comic touches. A woodcutter is roped into helping out with a zombie movie being made near where he works. He slowly connects with the director, who has absolutely no confidence at the beginning - and you see how this friendship brings out the best in both of them. Highly recommended.

My word, that was a load of pointless bullshit to read through
Anyway, I watched The Raid this afternoon, cracking film with some of the best choreographed fight scenes I've ever seen in a film and pretty much non stop action from the opening scene, fantastic.
Got my eldest boy at home all day with me tomorrow suffering with tonsillitis, so we've got Hotel Transylvania and Pirates lined up to watch

Well put, the trailer made me sigh and shake my head. Over The Edge...now THERE was a film.....

I'm honestly surprised people are remembering Project X at all. Like most modern comedies, it just looks near identical to every other film aimed at my age group (20 somethings) which I avoid whenever possible.

I saw this on FaceBook today and thought it was interesting, I think I agree with most of it - I'm assuming 'Batman' is referring to the 80's/90's incarnation and not Nolan.
