VHS Movie Reviews of Biography - Lizzie Borden [VHS]

Movie Review: Let's See?
Summary: 5 Stars

Motive + opportunity=...Lizzie never left the house...sent the maid for help, lizzie trapped in a house of hate...can't leave to get a job, must wait for parents to pass away to get inheritance...most likely Daddy would die 1st and Step-mom would leave her nada! Murders were overkill and personal! 11 & 19 wacks when only one was needed, using an axe. Women of this class are not believed to be capable of such a crime in 1890's so she isn't a serious suspect at 1st, and women weren't investigators at this time & men didn't investigate women's personal affects...so she has plenty of time to clean-up and hide weapon...throw it on a neighbors roof while Bridget is looking for help,possibly. How could a stranger hide in the house undetected for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or clean-up and walk down the road in broad daylight without being seen or heard...or walk down the road covered in blood??! Look at the obvious...why did Lizzie stay in the house and send Bridget for help...did she know the murderer was not still in the house...opportunity + motive =

Movie Review: guilty as sin!
Summary: 5 Stars

anyone who very carefully researches all the objective facts of the case rather than all the speculative theories knows that it is 95% certain that it was Lizzie who wielded that hatchet. Every single thing points to her guilt. She was the female equivalent of OJ Simpson. And for all you Lizzie apologists and theorists, i hope you'll for once give just one moment of thought to this: Andrew Borden being devoured six feet under by maggots and worms while Lizzie is living it up with her actor buddies and her millions. Not a pretty picture, I know. But an accurate one.

Movie Review: absolutley not innocent!
Summary: 5 Stars

alright so perhaps she didn't actually commit the murders, but I believe she ( at the very least ) knew who did! Therefor I will never believe that she was innocent. The fact is we will never know what happened that night, but by watching factual documentaries such as this one, it is interesting to imagine different scenerios. After staying in the Borden house for a night ( creepy huh ) I feel even more strongly that Lizzie had some part ( if only a small one ) of this gruesome affair.

Movie Review: AN INNOCENT WOMAN.
Summary: 5 Stars

Only ten minutes had elapsed since her father's murder, and witnesses saw no blood on Lizzie's dress, skin, or hair. Also, a witness saw Lizzie in the yard during the time of the murders. She was aquitted in less than an hour by the jury. I believe that an intruder killed the Bordens. It is time for history to clear this much maligned and innocent woman.

Movie Review: Good documentary with more detailed facts.
Summary: 5 Stars

Of course Lizzie committed the crimes. Did you see the kind of life she lived? Did you see what a cheapskate her old man was? Anyone who back in the 19th century had to live without a toilet inside the house or running water, especially when her father could clearly afford it, and who had a hag for a step-mother, would surely go beserk at some point. And she did. That axe went into her father's head forty times, and the hag got just what she deserved. Great video. Go out and buy it.
