Arts + Entertainment
The central nexus for all things film, gaming, art, and music.
Most Controversial Video Games
Some of the most controversial video games ever made are thought to expose kids to extreme sexual content and violence. Many claim that video games should be heavily censored in order to protect the minds of children, even though they are exposed to graphic content in other art forms—for example, film. Still, many believe that the main difference between video games and any other medium is that when you play one, you have a direct effect on what will happen, while you only observe things when watching a movie. Now, the opinion that certain video games will make you want to behave violently is not a popular one among gamers, as most understand that developers make games in order to artistically express themselves and entertain the masses. However, sometimes certain developers simply cross the line and make something that may end up haunting the minds of any player. Whether or not you agree with the critics, these are some of the most controversial video games of all time.

Arthur Miller and Elia Kazan
For a long time, Elia Kazan and Arthur Miller were very good friends. They worked together on plays and films, as the former directed the latter’s play Death of a Salesmanon Broadway, which eventually became one of the best American plays of all time. However, the Red Scare and threat of communism had a bad reputation for destroying relationships, personal and business ones.

Best Simpsons Treehouse of Horror Tales
What makes the Simpsons Treehouse of Horrors Tales so scary is that this stuff can come out of the mind of Matthew "Matt" Groening. He is a comedic genius, artist and probably really rich. I decided to take a look back at some of the past Simpsons’ Halloween offerings that still have me laughing to this day.

Movie Musicals: The Greatest form of Escapism
When I was a kid, I remember the first time I saw Singin’ in the Rain. And by seen, I mean catching a glimpse of the final scene. You know, where Cathy (Debbie Reynolds) is exposed as the voice behind Lena (Jean Hagen’s) talent, and she rushes out of the theater, only to be stopped by crowds and Don (Gene Kelly) singing to her "You are my Lucky Star". No, this particular song isn’t a showstopper, but I remember watching this final scene and realizing how badly I wanted to see the rest of the film, what brought those characters to that part. This big reveal caught my attention, along with the costumes and the set and the commotion on screen.
