Title change of blog...And coming soon!

I was thinking that my blog title was kind of boring and I really enjoy "play on words". So I thought I would follow suit with my own "play on words" with this new title. I like it: SheHasSceneIt. 


I am going to be blogging next about the family film Dolphin Tale, based on a true story. Then I will be blogging on my other blog, called HorrorSheLuvs about the Paranormal Activity franchise that has been a huge hit for director Oren Peli. Here is the link to my other blog if you love to read about films that are about horror, psychological thrillers, and ghosts or paranormal phenomenon.

It also is a link to my first reviewed horror film of 2012, called The Devil Inside. Enjoy! Its about exorcisms, which to me is a very fascinating phenomenon in and of itself.

My Favorite Television Shows at the moment...

I am not usually one to watch a lot of television, so I am pretty picky about which ones I do watch. Here is a current list of what I am watching in no particular order:

FRINGE  FOX network - Considered a science fiction mystery show that is almost like a previously aired one, called The X-Files with David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson. Fringe stars an incredible cast and the shows premise is so intriguing and always fascinating to me. I never get bored with this show. Brief premise...FBI agents investigate crimes or activities that are otherworldly and not "normal". Some of the casts members are Olivia/Faux Livia - Ana Torv, Dr. Walter Bishop/Faux Walter (He "cracks me up" every time), Peter Bishop - Joshua Jackson, and so many more cool characters. These characters are so interestingly matched, well together and each season just gets better and better. Its currently on its 4th season.

Here is a an episode if you have time to watch one.

RINGER CW Network - Starring Sarah Michelle Gellar (Buffy the Vampire Slayer - T.V. show). She portrays two characters, which are identical twins, named Bridget and Siobhan. Siobhan is presumed dead in a boating accident and her sister, Bridget decides to take over her life, since hers is not going so well. Littered with alcohol addiction and a warrant out for Bridget's arrest, taking over her rich socialite sis's life is not a bad idea, or is it? This show is very much my guilty pleasure that I am highly addicted to. I love Ms. Gellar in the show Buffy and this is quite a switch from her vampire killing days. Great cast and story that keeps you guessing and wanting more every episode. Curious to see how it can keep continuing. It is currently is its freshman season.

DOWNTOWN ABBEY PBS - Masterpiece Theater

This Sunday starts its 2nd season of an incredibly engaging time period piece. This show follows the lives of the Crawley family and their relationship to their servants during the start of World War I, which takes place at their mansion, called Downton Abbey. The shows casts many wonderful and talented actresses and actors, such as Maggie Smith and Elizabeth McGovern. This show will keep you captivated at every turn and no interruptions of commercials.If you love all things PBS, this will be no exception. I was hooked from the very first episode and was very sad when it went on break. It currently has a multitude of award nominations, with already 12 wins and 4 Golden Globe nominations.

Here is a promo trailer:

One last show I am enjoying with my entire family is Third Rock from the Sun. Starring John Lithgow and Jane Curtin. It is about a foursome of "aliens" who come down to the planet Earth for a mission and decide to stay indefinitely. It is super funny and that the characters are so naive of course to human ways. It last season was in 2001, but I bought the first season for cheap at Target.

Here is an episode:

I hope you enjoy reading about my favorite current television shows and will maybe watch and enjoy them for yourselves.

MONSTER - 2003

The film based on the real life events of  convicted and later executed, Aileen Wuornos will leave you wanting to take a very long, hot shower. This American serial killer started off killing men, who had wronged her in some way, and one was based on a brutal rape. She started "hooking" herself at the very young age of 12. Claims she was sexually molested by her grandfather and his friend. As a result of a rape by the former molester, she became pregnant and gave her child up for adoption at age 14.

Charlize Theron, the stunning actress (Young Adult -2011), who portrayed Wuornos and narrated her story did an incredible (understatement) job at slipping into her life of crime and prostitution. In order to look like Aileen, she gained some weight and took on her plain disheveled appearance and demeanor. For me, sometimes it was very hard to look at her transformation. I did not know whether I wanted to hug this abused, drug addicted person or ring her neck for all of the poor choices she made. The only comfort and solace Aileen found was in her lesbian relationship with a girl named, Selby, played by Christina Ricci. Selby was very young and impressionable, who wanted someone to just love and take care of her. Aileen was able to provide for them both, but poorly at that, by her prostitution monies. Later on, Selby would help convict her lover by getting Aileen to confess to her crimes via telephone calls from prison. Selby was then was "let off" by prosecutorial immunity. When Wuornos was convicted of her murderous crimes of seven men between 1989-1990, she was diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder. 

Wuornos's last words before her execution were "Yes, I would just like to say I'm sailing with the rock, and I'll be back, like Independence Day with Jesus. June 6, like the movie. Big mother ship and all, I'll be back, I'll be back." She was the tenth woman in the United States to be executed since the Supreme Court lifted the ban on capital punishment in 1976,^[32] and the second woman ever executed in Florida. She died October 2002. That is our justice system for you,  let's have it go through so many appeals it ends up costing the taxpayers a ton of money, in my opinion. 

This film was written and directed by Patty Jenkins. Her vision of Aileen Wuornos was told with much rawness that will leave a bad taste in your mouth. Winner of 17 movie awards 13 nominations in 2004, it will make you not wonder at all why Ms. Theron won almost all of them, one of which was an award for the Best Breakthrough Performance by an Actress by the National Board of Review. 

I highly recommend this film if you are interested in Criminal Justice or interested criminal psychology or just enjoy a riveting crime drama. At its conclusion, this drama left me feeling somewhat sorry for Wuornos, but felt she deserved the punishment she received.
