Jodi Arias: Dirty Little Secret

I for one never followed the real life Jodi Arias murder trial, because it always tied up HLN during the day so I never got to see any of the cute female news anchors on the network! No just kidding I'm not much into real life trials, anyway when a movie is brought to life about a shocking real life drama I'm in for a watch. And seeing that they would be plenty of eye candy in the form of Tania Raymonde made me a numerous watcher of this Lifetime TV movie. Boy if the real Jodi Arias looked this beautiful more people would have watched the real life trial! Tania Raymonde rocked with her performance her turn was cold and obsessive, and jealous possessive like a little devil. Yet the many scenes of Tania in those many sexy colored bras and panties was sexy it made the film thrilling to watch! Anyway starting in 2006 when Jodi(Raymonde)meets Travis at a motivation convention in Las Vegas, a sparkle is in the air. And upon a moment of hotel seduction where Jodi(Raymonde's such hot body) sports a green strapless bra with a lap dance showed that this was one wild push the limit get her way kind of girl! Yet from the get go Jodi showed signs of being jealous, and very possessive with being upset when another woman looked Travis's way she didn't even want any friends for him. The relationship was based on their hot and wild sex sessions that involved nude photos, online porn and of course Jodi wearing very sexy lingerie. This California girl was rocking the world of Travis now in his home state of Arizona.

Thru it all it proves that without real love the sex and lust will fail in the end as the obsession and jealous like possessive behavior of a wicked woman leads to tragic ends for all involved, a blood death and a life sentence as passion kills and dies with the wrong person and when no love is around it's doomed. Still the performance of Tania Raymonde is so hot and sexy she's one actress on the rise.

This was BRILLIANT. Both actors nailed these parts and they were both very difficult to pull off. But they were utterly convincing and I think this TV movie was smashing. Not at all clichéd and stuck to the facts that I know of the case, having followed it, from London, for the last two years.

Jesse Lee Soffer not only got Travi's charm and obvious boy next door magnetism, but he also successfully reminded us that Travis was a flawed character, certainly sexist, perhaps ambitious at the expense of others, but most of all bound and brainwashed by his particular religious brand of zombieism, Mormonism. Also, it was clear from the show that the two of them had a very very powerful connection that went beyond the physical. Travis liked Jodi for quite a while, and intermittently throughout the saga. We like her too, in this reconstruction. We consider her point of view. At times we are totally on her side even.....until, of course, that fateful, epic, bloody road trip.

Production values are serious and classy and very effective. This is no regular daytime TV true story. This is a highly accomplished piece of work and everyone involved can be very proud of what they achieved. Im looking forward to seeing these two lead actors in other material.

I'm very fussy about I watch and what I enjoy and I give this an unreserved 10/10

I have read some bad reviews of this film and I have to say, after watching the film I was pleasantly surprised.

There are parts of the story that have been altered as Hollywood expects a certain glossy finish to its films. The bulk of the story however remains the same. It is a little like fatal attraction and when you find yourself thinking that you stop for a moment and realise, "hang on, this actually happened".

The story, for anybody who knows about the case, is predictable for its genre but the lead actress Tania Raymonde is not bad in the roll at all. She plays the part of Arias quite well and her little jealous outbursts were that convincing she reminded me of an ex of mine! All in all its not a bad film. The only criticism I would have is they don't spend enough time on the trial. This film however is well worth watching!

By dirty I mean the director and producer expect us to sit around watching this slut type prance around making off she's a winner. WRONG. She's not that terrific looking, too much hair, no body to lure anyone with and has this pouty mouth (like her lower jaw extends her upper.) Let's not talk of the plot as there are so many similar ones of the past and so much better. Like the leading vamp could act in those. This one just poses like she thinks all men are attracted to her looks. AGAIN WRONG.

You can also predict she will kill all those in her way. The same as before. I just get tired of looking at her with her dipity-do hair style. So, in summing this trash up, and I won't mention names to protect the rest of the unfortunate cast, this is a horrendous film with a bad leading lady, a stupid plot and not for any seeing eyes to sit through. Amen.

'Fatal Attraction' is an old story. Few cases have been chronicled, the most well known being Carolyn Warmus in the early 1990's. It too was in the national limelight, she was found guilty of murder, and not one but two movies were made telling the story. But as we know, the Jodi Arias story was more compelling because of the unexpected, lurid details of their deviant personal sanctum. No court case has ever presented to the public what should be rated X. All in all, "Dirty Little Secret" does the best it can do. There were only two people who could tell the real story, but one is dead and the other is a chronic liar. I'm sure there are many who will agree that Jodi Arias is a better actress than the woman who played her in this film. Thus there is no way a film can portray this story with pure accuracy. 'Artistic license' is unavoidable, and why this film struck me as an attempt to stay as close to what the producers knew at the time it was filmed. "Dirty Little Secret" may have its faults, but it's definitely worth seeing.
