  • Re: Jodi Arias. I watched it on YouTube, I think. Not being familiar with the case beforehand, I enjoyed it, for what it's worth.

    • Although Jodi Arias is eligible for the death penalty, I don't know that she has been sentenced yet.
      This my opinion and to the best of my knowledge, that is, if I'm not joking.

        The jury was deadlocked in the penalty phase of the trial, so they have to empanel a new jury and start the process all over again. Not sure where they are in that process at the moment.

          Yes, this case seems to drag on forever.

          • True unsolved or unresolved crimes works for me as a sub-genre to true crime films. I think they offer more possibilities for storylines.

            The JtR films fit into that category. Zodiac and The Boston Strangler come to mind as standout examples of what can be done when there is still a mystery surrounding the crimes and the criminal.

            • Anyone seen the new movie The Frozen Ground by first-time feature director, Scott Walker.

              You obviously know the ending because it's a solved case. So it's pretty basic and straight-forward but it has interesting elements that remind me of the last Green River Killer TV movie I saw.

              I would just watch it for the incredible scenery. You're sure to like it if you like "Nicholas Cage" movies.

                    There are two ways to be fooled, one is to believe what isn't true, the other is to refuse to believe that which is true.

                        • On a lighter note, I picked up a copy of "Stone Of Destiny" recently. Haven't sat down to watch it yet, but looking forward to it.
