Braxton

Madison

I mailed off some Christmas gifts on last week Wednesday hoping that my friends would get them by Christmas, but failed. Instead, they got them on today and they sent me some pictures of them wearing the outfits that I picked out for them! Pretty amazing, huh? I always buy somethign for the kids of my closest friends and these two kids are definitely them! Love them so mucha nd happy that they enjoyed the gifts!

REGULAR SEASON #16: BLACK & GOLD vs. ATL Falcons...TAKE TWO...

The game today was pretty outstanding! The final score was 45-16. I get very and extremely intimidated when the Saints have to battle it out with the Falcons because the Falcons beat them very painfully last year and I felt like I could not recover from that, but this year the Saints beat them NOT ONCE BUT TWICE! Drew Brees changed the Dan Maruino record for longest passing yards and they game did not want to go one because all of the fans were congratulating him on that big victory and that was a huge deal! The Saints have won the last pas few 7 game sin a row and have not lost that many games. Whatever they are doing must be working for them and it i certainly paying off! Congrats Boyz!

How I Spent Christmas...But Why Do I Love It So Much?

Well, on Christmas Eve-it was pretty much a bore because I was lonely at home with nothing to do, when all of a sudden my movie checks arrived in the mail and I went to cash them & paid my cell phone bill and then I called my friends (mother and daughter) Tanya and Sabrina and asked if they had any plans on today and they said no, so I treated them to Sonics because that was the only thing open at like 9ish and then we went to the theater and we saw New Year's Eve and they loved the movie. I had seen it already so it was no problem for me. I hate driving all the way to the Westbank and then to the Eastbank and from East to West and West to Eastbank to come home, but the theater on the Westbank is ghetto trash and I do not like it so that is y I do it!

Christmas Day is like Eve and any other day really. Just me being alone and wondering all about various things. I would have spent it with my family, but there will be drama and I prefer not to be around any of that. I have received phone calls and texts from friends and it never ceases to amaze me that on my birthday or a holiday, I can hear from people I have been wanting to hear from all year-strange how that works out doesn't it?

This was more a movie about the ANIMALS than the PEOPLE & that actual comparison was made several times throughout the film! This was definitely a family-orientated film. It was very original & lacked that ability to shine to be @ the top of the Box Office Charts. Damon gave a great performance esp. in the scenes with his son where they were shouting & angry with each other. The little girl was exceptionally cute & always saying the sweetest things; if not doing or saying something very funny that made the audience laugh out loud & that is rare to have a child of such a young age be so talented like she was! The movie had an average cast, some more big names could have been introduced, but I can see that the film was, in fact, of a low budget because the photography was of a poor magnitude. Overall, the storyline was okay, some parts were funny & sweet while others were more serious. It's a family movie suited for the inner-kid of us all!

ADVANCED SCREENING: What If You Saw "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo?"

A great movie where you have to pay attention the entire time & not even blink! The investigator/researcher was a badass! She made you laugh, she made you chuckle, and she made you think to yourself--think that she is a crazy girl who is capable of anything! I liked the movie! The first hour was slow in getting to the good parts, but once that hour was over, the good stuff came like: mystery, suspense, complications, past discretion's, conflict, sex, anger, revenge, & violence! Yes, this movie had all of these qualities! The way the girl covered her tracks in order to do her job was immaculate! This is a definite suspense/thriller movie! The violence was NOT that gory & there was not much, but still was freaky esp. with the fat banker who had access to her money. Daniel Craig could have acted better. Rooney did a great job acting. See this movie! You will not be disappointed-u may be sad at the beginning, but from the middle to end-u shall be amazed @ what is uncovered....

REGULAR SEASON #15: BLACK & GOLD vs. Minnesota Vikiings...

This game was getting so damn good that they did not want to mess up a good thing and in the 4th Quarter, they sent QB, Chase Daniel in to take Drew Brees' spot because they knew that the Vikings did not stand a chance and that Drew's work was done! Whenever the score gets so high, Drew steps down so he can stay in shape and not get injured and that is commendable! You cannot play a football game without a good, strong, QB! The score was 42-20 and Jimmy Graham and Lance Moore were making those touchdowns like crazy! This game was super fun to watch and I really enjoyed spending time with my usual buddies I watch the games with Missy and Jhuno! A great Sunday!

Congressional Debate Filming: Take 3! Lol

We had to film a debate scene today between the two main actors in the movie and it was a fun time with the exception of sitting on those hard bleachers for 6 hours straight and trying not to fall asleep! Lol! I finally got a chance to meet Actor Dylan McDermott in addition to see Will Ferrell and Zack Galafiankais again. Those two guys are extremely very funny on and off of the screen! Will was playing basketball and talking to the other extras while the cameras were getting reset over and over and over and over again and it always warms mah heart when the celebs take the time to talk to the extras. I even talked to the Director. I just love what I do unconditionally! Love it!

MI: The Ghost Protocol IMAX Night

I had the chance to see this movie tonight for a 9PM IMAX shwoing a week before it hits theaters and I loved it! I loved the music accompanied with the opening titles! The movie was sensational! Definitely an IMAX movie worth seeing! The sound, the ACTION, the fighting, the excitement, & the explosions were dynamite! I loved the scene when Tom was climbing on the hotel building in Dubai! I felt like I could sense his fear knowing he was on the 130th floor (if it really existed)! Paula was a fierce ass-kicker! She had some moves on her! Simon was funny through the entire film by his funny remarks & facial expressions! It is always good to see Tom on the Big Screen! I loved the film from start to finish & it ties in with the previous MI films, also! If you do see it & can afford it, IMAX is awesome & it makes you feel like ur really there! There was one part in the film where something happens unexpected & it awakens/shocks ur heart because it occurs so rapidly & with little to no advance warning-beware if you choose to accept this movie.....2D or IMAX.....Which will it be?!?!?!

REGULAR SEASON #14: BLACK & GOLD vs. Tennessee Titans...TAKE TWO...

22-17! A FIFTH WIN IN A ROW FOR THE WHO DATS! WHO DAT!! WE DAT! Lol! Awesome game and win, but the last few seconds of the game really were intense and I was praying that the game hurry up and get over and that the time on the clock expires! Lol! At the end of those 4th Qtr.'s--they get so intense for me like announcing the Oscar winners or something! Lol! I hope that they continue to win and win another Superbowl Game!

Would You Let Jonah Be "The Sitter?"

Very disappointing! This movie delivers the comedy especially from Jonah Hill, but no other well-known actors was in it besides himself! The little girl who played Blythe was too kicks! Lol! I was drifing off to sleep during the entire film & was waiting for it to end! The movie was very low-budgeted & critics were rating this movie very negatively from the beginning. It was a crude comedy, but a very boring & original comedy! This is a movie that should have gone directly to DVD. I will NOT advise people to see this movie! I was so pissed @ how bad & whack this film was. This is a movie that you put in the DVD player to fall asleep to or to just have something on while you clean with the occassional laughs delivered by Jonah Hill....or.....yes, the cute girl, Blythe....

Let's Ring In "NY Eve" TONIGHT!

Loved this movie! You've got to stay for the bloopers @ the end of the showing! These actors really captured the screen: Sofia Vergara, Zac Efron, Ashton Kutcher, & Hilary Swank! These four were alive & vibrant! All the other actors were plain & did not have an affect on me as the others did. Overall, I enjoyed the movie, it should have had a release date closer to New Year's, but hey, I don't make the release dates! It was cool to see who was related to whom as the movie progressed, but I gotta tell you-Sofia Vergara was so hysterically funny--no matter what scene she was in! She was acting crazy & just freaking out! The scene with Jessica Biel doing yoga upside down is funny; the mystery woman who Josh Duhamel meets up with is sorta predictable; Alyssa Milano basically had three sentences to say in two small scenes-but I cannot say how good she was though...she should have been an extra! Lol! A festive film for all & the speech Hilary Swank gives has to touch YOUR heart!

Filming "Common Law"-TAKE TWO DAYS IN A ROW!!!

Filming this particular TV Show for two days straight was a treat! I got to get a picture with the main actor and talk to his co-star, Warren Kole! It was a terrific day! We had a fun time shooting but we had to shoot an outside scene and I hated that so much in making movies-making it look like one thing when it is totally another! So hate that! But all in all these two days were fun, I always get to meet up with other friends that I have made on another set and it makes the time fly by much more faster! :)

It's Time for Some "Common Law" Filming....Again...

Wow! What a way to return! I have been so exhausted because I have been filming non-stop so much for the last week. The money is good, but I can barely keep my eyes open! I have no idea, NO IDEA how these actors can do it everyday and for longer hours than extras! I was used in only one scene this morning and it was a stunt scene and it was awesome! It was like every action-packed movie that I have ever seen! It was really awesome to see that right in front of my eyes! My role was a valet guy! Watch on USA for the scene and that particular episode! :)

I got a chance to meet, shake hands,and meet Actor Michael Ealy from "For Colored Girls, Takers, and Seven Pounds and he was really very nice!

REGULAR SEASON #13: BLACK & GOLD vs. Detroit Lions...

Saints win again! TWO GAMES IN A ROW! I could not watch it last night because I was so tired and then I had to film the very next day so I was out of it, but I did love the score of 31-17! It was a great score and all the TD's warmed my heart! Sorry this entry is short, but I cannot comment on anything but I CAN tell you that it was a sweet win! GO SAINTS!

Reuniting Wahlberg & White: Filming "Broken City"

It was so great to see mark after all these many many months. I had last seen him on the set of Contraband and it was on a ship and that was in March and now we are in December and it seems like only yesterday!!! Mark still looked exactly the same! When we breaked, I sneaked over and told him it was great to see him again and asked him if her remembered me and his response was, "Sure, I do buddy. How u been?" THOSE WORDS WAS LIEK MUSIC TO MY EARS! MARK WAHLBERG remembered me after 8 months?!?!?!?! I was in disbelief and I loved it! The courtroom scene we taped was rather long, but to look at Mark, it got me through it! He is do kind and down to Earth! I love Marky Mark Wahlberg!
