First Day on the Set of Sylvester Stallone's, "Headshot/Bullet in the Head!"

I was NOT on set for very long, but I was still very pleased. I mean, NONE of the main characters were not in sight for the entire 5 hours I was on set. My call time was for 5:30 in the evening because all day the main actors were performing stunts and extras were not needed at all. So, when I arrived, I had to get a CSI Jacket because that is what my role was. We sat around in Extras Holding for about 2 hours until we finally got called up to the actual set. All I had to do was pretend to dust for prints and take photographs of the crime scene, & I had TWO dead bodies NOT ONE, but TWO! My partner had one dead guy across the room! I called my part a "featured extra." It was cool! And the CAMERA WAS ON ME THE ENTIRE TIME! Awesome, huh? There were bullets all over the room, THREE real body with gunshot wounds in them, fake blood, the whole 9 and it looked so real! That is the part that I cannot get over: HOW REAL IT ALL LOOKED! As soon as I saw the way it was arranged, I flashed back to Law and Order: SVU, CSI TV Shows, etc. It was unbelievable to see and to b apart of it, I kid you not! I loved today because I got to see how a movie is really made and what it all entails and how the Editor brings it all to life and to make it look realistic! I did not get to see or meet any actors, but maybe another time, I am still wishing high! :)

ADVANCED SCREENING WITH TANYA FOR: What Makes A "Bad Teacher?!?!"

Cameron Diaz was a BADASS in this movie! NO DOUBT! She was using so much persuasive language, deception, and manipulation. The title of the movie is meant to suggest to people that she was just a bad schoolteacher, but what I saw was so much more from that! People were meant to think that she was just a lazy teacher and good for nothing and that she did not give a damn about anything but finding a rich man to support her! She was also bad like "being cool" or "bad 2 the bone." The dry humping scene with Timberlake was priceless! OMG! Funny as all hell! I was ROTFLMAO! You've got to see ti in order to believe it! The whole theater was laughing, hysterically! Actors Jason Segel and Eric Stonestreet were also very very funny in the movie as well. At least for the portions that they were in, very short oprtions, but funny, nonetheless. Stonestreet spelled envelope (invelope) on his hand and I LOL'd. Diaz really played this role and her performance captivated me! I have never seen her play a nonchalance and tough girl role like this ever in all the films that I have ever seen her in, seriously! I was surprised by that in itself! I was laughing so hard that I was trying not to shout in the theater! Some parts were so sexually graphic and absurd that my eyes were turning blood red! Funny from beginning to end! You do not have a bad teacher until you have checked out-Cameron Diaz! :)

Reynolds Is...The...Green Lantern..in 3D?!?!

I heard a reviewer say,"The Green Lantern is RED!" I know it is outside the norm for me to see a movie on a Sunday, but circumstances risen where I had no choice! The color red is never good unless its a flavor of some sort. I would rate this movie as yellow. It was very colorful, bright, and cartoonish. Ryan Reynolds was funny for a second in certain scenes, but all in all, I was not disappointed in the film. It had a lot of cool visual effects, the thing that sucked, yet again, was the fact that there was a ton of 3D in the first 5 minutes of the introduction of the film and then it went out the window! I was pleased at how well the cast was acting and the special features in the movie. It was not as good as other Marvel movies such as Incredible Hulk or Spiderman-but it was good nonetheless. I felt that it could have been better than what it was. So many people anticipated this movie for months and months, and to be let down and reading such negative reviews, I do not know what is going through their minds when it was over. It had the Marvel action, but it lacked the "green vibe & energy" I was expecting.....

ANOTHER TV DEBUT FOR ME: Off HBO....Hola TNT's Memphis Beat!

I was in the Second Season of TNT's Memphis Beat's Series Premiere tonight! I do not know if you can see me but I am in between the two cops on the FAR LEFT of the picture in this entry. This episode was about a cop that had dies in the field and I was in the funeral scene! I loved seeing myself! More exposure for me! Yes! Yes! Yes!

....and the Second Day On The "Loft" Set!...

Filmed With James Marsden

Filmed With Eric Stonestreet

Filmed With Wentworth Miller

Fimled With Matthias S. (he has a tough last name)

The second day in a row that I filmed was much better and more exciting, but long as hell! I worked from 3:45PM on Tuesday, June 7th, 2011 to Wednesday, June 8th @ was wrapped at 3:10AM. The only two actors whom were working that late was Wentworth Miller and Eric Stonestreet! I had an earlier office scene with Eric Stonestreet around 6ish. It was a very fun scene. We just had to pretend that we were working at out individual desks as the boss leaves the office. We did that scene about 10 times and it was fun because I was acting up looking crazy busy! Lol! We were filming on Tulane University's campus. After that, the wardrobe people made me a NYPD Detective and I was sitting around in Extras Holding for a number of hours until they needed people. They were requesting 5 and 6 people by the hour it seemed like. They had snacks but of course, it was nothing too extravagant. The crew and the Actors get the best of everything and the Extras just get the scraps and get treated like crap and I do not like it at all because if it was not for the EXTRAS---movies could not be made and that is a true FACT! My encounter with Wentworth Miller was when the shuttle bus dropped us off, he was getting on-I did not speak to him then. But once we headed back to Holding for lunch at Midnight...yup, I said 12am, I literally chilled outside because I knew that Marsden and Miller had to pass me by to get up to set and I shook their hands and introduced myself and told them I liked their work in certain movies/TV Shows and they were nice and kind about it! Another think that I hate is how the crew does not want anyone to talk to the Actors! That is a bunch of BS that I have ever heard in my life! THE RULES ARE SO RIDICULOUS! All in all, it was a great day of filming-it just went on too dang on long!

First Day On The Set Of 2013's Thriller, "Loft" feat. James Marsden!

Today was the first day of production on the film and the only Actor that I interacted with was James Marsden from X-Men as Cyclops, 27 Dresses, Enchanted, and Death At A Funeral. I heard nothing but nice things about him & he was always smiling and acting so professional, and it really shocked me that he did NOT eat in the tent, or a trailer, on in a limo. He ate in the same room as the extras and the crew. That is really rare to see the actors eat in the same vicinity as the Extras! Really rare! I was only used in one scene. They made St. Charles Av. in New Orleans look like NYC'S Infamous 5th Av. They tried their very best, but to no avail did it look like a real thing. The scene was set up as like women were shopping in Beverly Hills with bags and the men looked all casual in suits and stuff like they worked on Wall Street with newspapers and binders, briefcases and such all in hand. By the time I took about 5 steps, it was called, "cut." I do not think that I was used in the scene or seen for that matter but it was still fun nonetheless! We spent most of the day sitting around talking to other people and sweating our butts off!

Professor X vs. Shaw In "X-Men: First Class" Tonight!

Pretty Amazing Movie! I mean, it explained, @ least for the people that do not know the X-Men story or whom have seen pieces of the movies or half of them-it explained about how Magneto came about, how Professor Xavier got in a wheelchair, how the mutants got their names, etc. That is the aspect of the film that I appreciated; very much. I was very fascinated at how all of the elements came together. It all made sense to me because I, personally have not seen all of the X-Men movies. The movie had action and a bit of laughter. I love that about any type of genre of a film, where the slightest facial expression or movement or saying one single word can make a room full of people chuckle and laugh hysterically. I’m glad that I did see it. It was wonderful, action-packed, thorough, & most importantly, it was enjoyable to see. I think McAvoy did a great job at portraying Xavier and Kevin Bacon did a great job as Shaw. Those two were the main characters in the movie in my opinion! Also, the powers/gifts that the kids had even Magneto and Xavier had to read thoughts and to control people were very cool to see and some scenes were funny when they did that: Making people hit themselves because they were being controlled, etc. A must see movie!

....My Next "Filming" TV Series Debut Airs In A Week! And I Am In It....

This will be the SECOND Television Show that I will be in that will air on TV. I may just be an extra, but I still love seeing myself on television! It is so cool and amazing to see! No matter what it is! The FIRST show that aired that I was in was HBO's Treme. And now this will be my second. I had the opportunity to meet and film with everyone in the Season 2 cast photo on the left with the exception that one cast member is not in the photo and the tall heavy-set black guy I never filmed with nor have I met. I filmed with Alfre Woodard (in the blue dress), Jason Lee (in the jeans), Sam Hennings (sitting down at the desk), DJ Qualls (in the cop uniform), and Celia Weston (not in the photo, but she was in the film, "Observe and Report"). The Season Premiere Will Air on June 14th and I most likely will be in it because I was told that it was the Season Premiere!
