Csi: Crime Scene Investigation
Author: Tsoof and Eden Baras  | Posted: 16-05-2008 | Comments: 0 | Views: 27 | Rating: (211)  (?) 
Nearly every week, there are at least 3 different CSI shows on TV - CSI Las Vegas, CSI Miami, CSI New York and sometimes a combination of CSI and some other series.
Nearly every week, there is a discussion in our house about whether watching CSI is a good idea, especially for younger people.
These shows are certainly fascinating and suspenseful, keeping the viewer interested the whole time and introducing a wide variety of crime scene investigation techniques and police methods, each set in a different city with its different kinds of problems.
Another good thing is that the main characters are people who like their job and feel it is an important contribution to the society they live in, which makes them positive role models. Throughout each series, we also get to see glimpses of their personal lives, showing us other challenges they must face as human beings, which can only increase our appreciation towards them.
And, of course, at the end of each episode, the bad guys are brought to justice by our diligent and creative crime scene investigators.
Having said that, all these CSI TV shows feature a dark world, where humans are divided between criminals, victims and police officers. In their world, many people are referred to as "Vic" (short for "victim") or "Perp" (short for "perpetrator"). The investigators suspect many, only to catch few, going through a parade of suspects with complete disregard for what the investigation might do to them if they are innocent.
Real criminals can seriously hone their skills just by watching CSI. Although the methods shown may not be the latest and greatest, surely there is much to be learned about cleaning up a place to make the police's life harder. If you consider the amount of time it takes to solve a crime vs. the time it takes to commit it, the CSI shows are telling criminals that they are outnumbering the police by huge factors and that they can commit many crimes by the time they are caught, if that ever happens.
Some criminals in the series are just like everybody else, but most of them are not. Many of them are very rich, driving around in luxury cars, dressing up in expensive clothes and spending their time in exclusive nightclubs. Particularly in Miami, rich people are closely associated with large-scale, ruthless crime.
Most people, especially grown-ups, think they are immune to the messages on television, but research shows this is not true. However, over time, we become conditioned by the shows we watch on TV and bring the feelings and situations we see into our own world.
Watching CSI, we start believing that criminals lurk everywhere, waiting for us to make the wrong move. After all, we see them in Las Vegas, Miami and New York. We identify with the heroes, adopt their points of view and then, little by little, our own world becomes darker, scarier and more polarized.

Is this really what we want in our life?

I Robot
By: Tsoof and Eden Baras | 23/01/2008 | Movies
I have been writing reviews and expressing morals for a few of my favorite movies, which as it turns out, are mostly dramas and animations. Just to even things out, I want to mention a sci-fi movie this time. I particularly liked I, Robot because it had action, it had thought, it had a point, it was extremely funny in parts, it was not overly violent and guess what, there was no love scene. While sometimes I think no movie is complete without a love scene, because I am a hopeless romantic, sometimes, it really is not necessary and it gets overly used.
Musicals are Back
By: Tsoof and Eden Baras | 24/01/2008 | Movies
Dating back to the time of the Ancient Greeks musicals started when the Greeks included music and dance in their stage comedies. From the 5th century B.C Musicals have developed into amazing acts and performances not even close to what they were in the past. Some include: Cats, The Phantom of The Opera, Broadway and newer ones like Hairspray and The Producers.
Narnia – the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe
By: Tsoof and Eden Baras | 30/01/2008 | Movies
I have always loved fantasy movies, especially ones based in the olden days and in the past. There are many movies I can name that have been based on the fantasy genre but none as great as The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe.
High School Musical – it is All About the Moral
By: Tsoof and Eden Baras | 01/02/2008 | Movies
There is something to be said about teen flicks and something else altogether to be said about Musical, teen flicks. I am not much of a musical type person and the movies I tend to like lean more towards serious and heartfelt, but I have to admit this is the type of movie that manages to squeeze in jingle-type songs, famous young actors and a gazillion morals all into less than 2 hours. It is quite impressive.
Juno – the Lessons in Life
By: Tsoof and Eden Baras | 11/04/2008 | Movies
16-year-old Juno MacGuff (Ellen Page), after three pregnancy tests, is finally convinced she is almost nine weeks pregnant by her friend Paulie Bleeker (Michael Cera). While she appears slightly disappointed when it is 100% certain, she takes it surprisingly well. No crying or pity-seeking.
Step Up 2: the Streets
By: Tsoof and Eden Baras | 02/05/2008 | Movies
A good movie is one that you rave about for three days after you see it and if you get the chance you will watch it again. For me, I usually ponder and discuss the more meaningful, heartfelt movies like ones that explain different strands of belief in the universe or the meaning of reincarnation. Just for a change I decided to watch "Step Up 2: The Streets" and boy was I impressed.
