Re-Living the Pure Magic of Love!
Words just CANNOT express how touched I was by seeing this movie & witnessing the love, chemistry, magic, and utter beauty all over again after all these years on a big motion screen again and esp. in IMAX 3D! I sincerely think that the IMAX screen was the ONE AND ONLY reason that this movie made me feel so unbelievably loved, cherished, and just so full of love. This is AND will ALWAYS be my most FAVORITE love story of all time! I shed a few tears at THE same exact parts I shed tears at when I watch it at home on DVD. I felt so overcome with emotion at the entire film and the music is what did it for me also. Celine Dion should have won BEST MUSIC PERFORMER/SOUNDTRACK on every level for her songs used in the film. The music combined with the love story of Jack & Rose made this film. If only everyone would be so lucky to find true love no matter what class you are like Jack and Rose, that would be phenomenal. I am sure no one will rate and see this movie in such a capacity as I do right now and always. My favorite scene was at the end when Rose looked up at Lady Liberty and found the diamond in the coat. She was free-free of Cal, her controlling mother, free to be like the "heart of the ocean": free to swim until you find your destiny as Jack told her to do. She never let go of him no matter what she did in her life. These are concepts that anyone can grasp and hold onto if something is true and meaningful to you! For all the lives lost from the sinking, that was very sorrowful, but they will always be loved and cherished like the "hope diamond." If you have hope you will see them again, it is like the diamond-stay strong to your convictions and be true to yourself and you will never go wrong....

P.F. Chang's vs. Mirror Mirror Night
Tonight, I had dinner with two friends of mine-Theresa and George. We ate at PF Chang's China Bistro adn it was delicious. Afterwards, I went to the theater to see Mirror Mirror soslo. They were not interested in the film. I saw the 10pm showing and got out at Midnight-fairly decent hour. Lol! Roberts was NO pretty woman or Queen in the film! Lol! She played an average role. Truth be told, I think that Charlize Theron will be a better evil queen in "Snow White & the Huntsmen" in June. Roberts did not have the "evil look" to fit the evil role. The movie, I feel was very arty & entertaining-which is not bad, but it could have been better than what it was. Collins played the Snow White role to perfection-very believable & the 7 dwarfs were funny as well. The Prince played by Hamner was portrayed very well. The ending was perfect & how they showed Roberts & all what she had lost was genius! The imagery of it went hand in hand with that scene. A shocker was revealed in the end about Snow's father. In conclusion, the movie is suitable for all ages-it makes you re-live your fairy tale childhood...or well, it can bring out your "inner kid" I should say!

Advanced American Reunion with Giancarlo!
I had a pass to see this film and saw it with my boy, Giancarlo tonight! There have been so many American Pie films, reunions, weddings, bad camps, etc. that have deviated from the original saga that I cannot wrap my mind around it! This film was by far, the most best, sexual, erotic, cruelest comedy ever of them all! The introduction to the film was superb! The R.Kelly song was sheer perfection! I am so glad that I had the opportunity to see the Advance Screening of it instead of waiting until the release date. There were some hardcore sexual referenced in this film that I would not even rate as R, but instead I would rate it as X. American Pie always had that reputation of a movie centered around high school kids, the jokes they played on each other, but most importantly: the love and unconditional friendship for one another. All of the original characters and the phrases that they used brought me back all the way to the first movie. I love how they incorporated all of those elements in the reunion piece. To see all the original cast members back and for a real reunion was simply genius! There were some shocks & some funny parts that made me gasp because I was so speechless but seeing American Reunion made me relive when I watched all of the films when I was younger and I relived my American Pie days with all of them through this film! It was spectacular and stay for the ending credits-it will rock your world -LITERALLY! :)

An On-Set Magical Experience! Trust Me!
Ok, so for the past two weeks straight, I have been filming "Now You See Me" and I have had the chance to be up close and personal with Isla Fisher, Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, and Dave Franco. Also, the Director form Paris, France Louis Leterrier. I have had close encounters with all of them and I have got to share it with you-ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO because these moments are so special to me!
The Director Louis & I: Mr. Louie is the best Director that I have ever had the opportunity to work with/for. He has a great sense of humor, he jokes with everyone, he just makes you feel so special and respected! The man is the greatest human being I ever had the pleasure of filming for. He is sensational! He asks me how I am doing between takes, he jokes with me, is always glad to see me, got his autograph, he bought all the background actors ice cream.the man is AWESOME!
Woody Harrelson & I: Woody loves me a lot because every time he sees me on set he comes right up to me and asks me to tell him a joke. He laughs so hard at any joke I tell him. He points me out and comes directly to me. He even gave me a high five while we were filming and that was not a part of the script. I love Woody!
Jesse Eisenberg & I: On set last week, Jesse and Dave Franco were coming from back stage and Jesse saw me and he said,"hey good to see you again, ur back huh? I'm glad and embraced me with a hug and a handshake and Dave did the same too!
Dave Franco & I: Davey and I have had so many encounters it is not even funny! We wave and point to each other, he winks at me, we clown around, he is such a cool lil guy. I told him that I saw 21 Jump Street weeks ago at a free advanced screening and he was like a lil kid asking me what did I think of it over and over again and anytime I mention it, he does the same thing, what did ur friends think of it? He is saying, ah that is good man, thanks man, thanks man, that means a lot 2 me. Dave and I took a picture together and he was like, is that picture good enough for you, is it good the way you want it, I wanna make sure you like it! How awesome and kind huh? Out of all the 4 main actors, I love them all equally because after what I have just wrote, how can I have my very best?
Isla Fisher & I: Isla is 1 in a million. Just yesterday, Mar. 16th, Isla was heading back to set and she was doing something on her cell phone when I said, "Isla," and she came over to me and just smiled so big and wide and hugged me and she said that she loved me and my personality and she was glad that I was on this set and she is always looking for me and waving to me because seeing me gives her the motivation to to do well up there! This moment between the two of us, I felt so grounded that I could not movie. I mean, this ACTRESS came up to me and just HUGGED me out of the blue UNEXPECTEDLY and gave me a compliment that just took my breath away! I was so overcome with emotion, I did not know what to think. She did not do this with any OTHER PERSON for the past two week and look at the liking that she took to me. I was dumbfounded and I am not the type of person to be at a loss for words! I still cannot wrap my mind over these four amazing actors, esp. Isla! I feel so blessed and fortunate for this film and all the love that was generated to me from Jesse, Dave, Woody, the Director and esp. Isla!

Actions are Better than Words!
The movie had a good synopsis, but it did not reach its full potential. Any film that Eddie is in & is the lead/main character, it blows! Don't get me wrong-he is a very talented comedian, but he combines his comedy in his acting....acting alone-not his strong suit. This film was funny, but I did not laugh loudly or get a little excited. Things he did or said was, but his acting was very weak & I don't know-this film should not have been made. Kerry's performance was grand! Her smile & gestures won me over! She did great! This is a film that was okay & should go straight to DVD. There were not a lot of previews for this film either if you think about it. This movie had a specific meaning: Learn from your words & allow ur actions do ur speaking for you! That's telling u something in less than a thousand words.....

I'm Sorta Back.....or Am I?
I have been filming two completely different projects for the last four days and I have been wayyy super beyond exhaustion, but when I am acting, I do not feel as tired as if I am as soon as I sit in the car and is driven home or at home in my own bed! I have been filming one film, Now You See Me with Isla Fisher, Dave Franco, Woody Harrelson, and Jesse Eisenberg and the other called the Hot Flashes with Daryl Hannah, Virginia Madsen, Eric Roberts, Brooke Shields, and Wanda Sykes. Both have a great cast and both will be great and fun movies to watch on the big screen!

She Is Gone! It's A Race to FIND Her!!!
Awful film! Think I just found my first HORRIBLE film of 2012! Gone should be gone like a hurricane, it needs to move rapidly out of town & NOT on DVD or bootleg, either! The only thing suspenseful in the entire movie was the suspense music-I figured everything out before it was over & knew who the abductor was after the diner scene! Seyfried cannot act worth a damn! She is not in high demand & is not a gorgeous chick, so how is she always getting roles is what I wanna know! Ha! Ha! The movie stills were more suspenseful than the movie itself! I was so upset!!! The plot was very original & predictable--no shocker there, but I still thought it would have kept my attention in some form/magnitude. I was starting to drift asleep & tossing in my seat-two signs I will rate a film as boring & tell people not to see it if it was FREE! My warning: Stay away from gone-Keep going to something better!

Advanced Screening of "21 Jump Street!"
Tatum & Hill were absolutely hilarious in this film! They captured the screen together! I mean I was laughing my butt off-seriously! When Hill made jokes or a looks it made me laugh! Every scene that I saw was better & better! I highly suggest that everyone see this film if they want to laugh uncontrollably! There was a ton of obscene language in it and a ton of sexual references and strong R-rated characteristics, but this film is really very good! I cannot stop saying it. I was fortunate enough to be able to see it! There is nothing more than I can say about it besides the face that it was perfect! Phenomenal! I cannot rate it anymore, literally. It was just that damn good! Period! You will laugh form start to finish!

Have You Done Your Good Deed Today?
Wesley did a "good" deed and not DEEDS-first of all! The storyline to this film was very heart-felt and realistic and in today's society, this film came out at the right time! It exhibited how people go through rough patches and how there really are loyal people who want to help and expect NOTHING in return-absolutely nothing! I loved any scene with Brian White! The film as a whole was average, I cannot say that this film was spectacular, because it was not. When I rate film, I rate them honestly and with my opinion. It was good, but, very ordinary. I was not feeling this film as I expected to. His acting was very over the top and dramatic! Rashad was not seen a whole lot throughout the film, and I was sad about that and Gabrielle Union was looking very sensational and gorgeous! There were a lot of funny scenes to me-the scenes where Ariel made all the facial expressions when they went to grab a bite to eat with Wesley was simply too precious! All the little jokes that Lindsey made towards Wesley were humorous too! The film as a whole teaches a very very crucial lesson and that is this: You only have one life to live and you should live it the way that YOU want and not at how someone else wants you to live it-do what makes YOU happy and not not what others want YOU to do so THEY can be happy!

Lundi Gras '12 w/Mariska, Hilary, & Harry!
I had the great pleasure to be at the Orpheus Parade on Lundi Gras, which was on Monday, Feb. 20th and I got to meet Mariska hargitay from Law and Order: Special Victims Unit; Harry Connick, Jr. who is on SVU and is a Louisiana Native/musician, and Actress Hilary Swank. Hilary Swank just singled me out of the entire swarm of people and blew kisses at me and said thank you when I told her I loved her in New Year's' Eve! HILARY SHOWED SINCERE LOVE AND COMPASSION. I WOULD HAVE LOVED TO TALK TO HER AND GET A PICTURE! She was truly a great person! After they left, so did I. They were the only reason I was at the parade and I caught them as they were loading on! :)

Alright Now!! THIS MEANS WAR!! Lol!
The reviews have been NEGATIVE for this film, but my review is POSITIVE! It was so good, I'm in awe at what to say. There was "funny romance" & "comedy" in the movie. Lol! Any scene that Handler was in was funny! The way the film ended was funny! The tricks that both CIA Agents played on each other were funny! The movie was very funny but in a cute sort of a way. It is a film for couples, singles, etc. It just has that kind of effect on people esp. me. It is a movie suitable for anyone! I loved watching it from start to finish! Definitely going to be buying it on DVD when it is released. I think that guys will like the film simply because of the two male actors & what they did in the film & ladies will like it because of Reese's character. The movie as a whole was delightful, funny, action, & very sweet! A must see!!! Go! Go! Go to war!! Lol!

Screening of Ghost Rider II: A Repeat of Part 1 or Something A Bit Better?
FIRST, do NOT see it in 3D! There are NO 3D effects at all! I watched this film in 2D on a 3D screen with glasses! I repeat, stay AWAY from 3D because NOTHING is in that format! This sequel was a bit better than the first I have to admit! It was more a a comedy/superhero film rather than an action/suspense thriller! All of the cast members were joking around frequently or doing something that would get a reaction from the audience. Cage really made me laugh in the parts where he laughed in people's faces. You just have to see it for yourself! Glad I saw a screening of this film because I had NO intention to see the sequel whatsoever because the first one was horribly awful! I was shocked when I saw this was in the making! But, I was surprised, it was average & mildly enjoyable, but very much comical-trust me!

Open Casting Call for the Tom Cruise Poject!
Today there was an open casting call for background actors for the upcoming Tom Cruise movie called, Oblivion. The Casting Director whom was leading the casting was telling people about how to pose when we were getting our picture taken. This will be a very sad and depressing film so she wanted a very sad and depressed look on our faces, but zeroing in on our eyes because the eyes tell everything. She was really very sincere and is really a people person because she was asking for kisses and hugs! Lol! I will not find out if I got the part for like a few weeks, if I do get a phone call, that would be awesome, and if not, I do not get discouraged. I keep on keeping on!

Zach, Lisa, Oliver, and Kate Visits NOLA!
My good friends visited me on today and we had a very interesting day together! Lol! Their kids are very vibrant and so full of life, but need to settle down a bit, but I now do believe that rumor about Terrible Two's! Sooo totally believe it now and Oliver is two and Kate just tuned 1 last week, actually. It really amazes me at how Oliver's vocabulary has grown. Kids say that coolest things ever and how he pronounces words is really AWESOME to say the least! He was talking about Star Wars, McDonald's, etc. everything just going on and on. While we were at the parade tonight, Oliver loves and adores Elmo. So we got to the parade just as he passed, so I was running with Oliver to try to catch the float on the other side of the street and Oliver was saying, "Wait Elmo, Waaaaiiit!" It was so adorable! We eventually caught up to him though. The weather was so cold that we had to cut the night short at the parade and then we went to set some hot chocolate at McDonald's, but the kids had fallen asleep and we all were pretty grateful for that because they were active all day! Lol! We then drove to the airport and we saw one plane land right over our heads as we were talking and joking rather loudly! Lol! We then preceded to go see Sandra Bullock's home but there was a parade passing on St. Charles Av. and we could not go, so then we headed back and they dropped me off at home and we said our goodbyes. They arrived at my house at like 3:35ish and I had my bedroom all set up with blue lights and a motion lamp with the lights all off and the music to Twilight playing, so as they entered, they could watch it because Zach had never seen Breaking Dawn-Part One before. They loved the set up. I was cooking my Chinese dish for them as they watched. They both loved it and said that it was better than Cane's and Chang's! What a compliment huh? And that is how we spent our time together! It was really great to see them again after 3 years! :)

Who Is SAFE? Really!!!
I want to give this film 5 stars simply because of Denzel, but the film was very cheap to film. The picture quality was very poor & it was very much compatible to "Drag Me to Hell." Good film, but very mediocre acting, but still a good film. The killing in this movie was very ruthless, dangerous, & hardcore. In certain instances, a cast member would kill someone, knowing that they are dead already-like 100% gone & will shoot them either once or twice more & either make a facial expression while doing it &/or say something funny! I like that. Denzel provided everything: the action, the drama, the suspense! He is a MASTER @ his craft! Truly an expert at acting, esp. in his scenes in the end of the movie! He captivates the screen with his performance! In the beginning & middle of the movie-u can relax & then all of a sudden something very unexpected happens & it catches you totally off guard! I love that mystery in movies! Safe House only had two recognizable celebs: Washington & Reynolds. That is sad, but a true fact, but Denzel was the star, obviously!

Advanced Screening of "The Vow!"
Throughout the entire film, I kept flashing back to Tatum's "Dear John" film because some parts of the movie were very plain and was not grabbing my full attention. The film as a whole was outstanding! McAdams & Tatum gave very good performances and it felt really real even though this film was based on true events. The opening was GENIUS! It was so sensational! The car accident that follows, they way it was put together in slow motion-that sets the initial stage for the audience to sympathize with Paige's situation right there. As the movie progresses, Leo gets frustrated, but he could have expounded on that and not be so nonchalance about Paige's condition. I mean, we know that he cares, but it really odes not show it until the scene where he tells Paige that he is NOT her punching bag-that is the scene that has the love, the fire, the passion, the sincere emotion. If every scene where those two interact could have been like that...Wooow, I would have shed a tear or two! Lol! But it was still good nonetheless. I, personally wanted something to happen and it did not, but it is heart-warming how it ended and it is romantic, but was still disappointing that what everyone wanted to happen between those two did not happen and if you see it you will understand this last sentence! But there were a lot of "sweet little jokes and comments" made from both main characters through the film that had to make you laugh, giggle, or just take a deep breath and just ponder...

Krewe of Little Rascals Parade '12
I never thought in a million years that I would catch as much stuff as I thought I would! I caught like 4 teddy bears and cups and a super-large big bead. I always set a goal to get on of those colossal beads, but never did I think that it would be this easy! I went right up to the boy and asked him for one and he just gave it to me! I was so blessed and glad to have had one! People try their very best to get one and it was just handed to me because I asked politely! Go figure! All the stuff I caught today, I will give to my friend's kids when I see them on Saturday! I love being a good person and always thinking of others! :)

Wanderlust Night with Brent
I saw this film with my buddy Brent whom I film with and we laughed our socks off! Lol! Whew! NOTHING can prepare you for the obscene nudity that is releaved in this film! This movie was like a forest-porn group orgy meditation ritual western! Lmao! From start to finish there were sexual references, sexual acts, sexual jokes, and sex! I loved it! I saw a lot of negative reviews about this film, but I disagree! It was good & very entertaining! Aniston & Rudd really did a superb job! The acting, the scenes, the jokes, the facial expressions were all good! I just cannot believe the part towards the end of the movie where all of those elderly people were running in SLOW MOTION! Wooooww is literally all I can say! The birthing scene is another one that I was dumbfounded by, & another scene with Rudd talking to himself in the mirror for like 2 straight minutes about "something specfic" is mind-blowing & will make you laugh uncontrollably & your eyes will be so red! Rudd's sister-in-law in this film is funny too just by what she says & her mannerisms! This film should've been rated RX!

PART 1 OF FRIDAY NIGHT: Dinner @ P.F. Chang's China Bistro
Words cannot express how today felt. This day will be a day of history esp. for me! All my life, I have wanted to go to PF Chang's but I could never afford it because I felt like it was so exclusive and very expensive, well after many days of working on the set of Dogfight, I was expecting such a lofty sum of cash and after I took care of my bills and things, I set aside the cash to dine at this restaurant and today was the day! I had been waiting all week to go today because I have never been and the service and the food were both sensational! I talked with the Manager of the place and told him I minored in HRT and the customer service was excellent. He really valued and appreciated my input. God blessed me as tow here I could afford to go here and I had a tear in my eye because this was a dream of mine that I made come true with NO ONE's help, NO ONE telling em that I could NOT afford, I worked very diligently to get here and I sat there at that table alone and ate slowly, and enjoying each and every minute of my dining experience! I felt like royalty! I am so very blessed and thankful from the moment I entered in until the moment I stepped out! :)
PART 2 OF FRIDAY NIGHT: This Movie Should Be HANGED and FORGOTTEN!
This movie was a combination of Mr. & Mrs. Smith plus Duplicity and those two movies are the equivalent to this one. The movie had a very good storyline-I cannot deny that, and I have never heard of this actress before in my life, but to have that tough look and rough exterior about her, she should have been kicking butt and killing people more faster like Jet Li or any other female assassin I've seen in motion picture films! That was one of the major things that I saw about her character in the movie, she took too long fighting people to say that is what she was trained for -to take people out! The ending was not to be expected, but I can deal with it because it leaves itself open for a sequel-hopefully better than the first! HaHa! Overall, the movie had its ups and its downs, but it was okay. I cannot say it was good, cannot say it was great, cannot say it was average. I was NOT feeling this movie the way I thought that I might! Tatum had a very small part to play in the film and when he scenes did come up, he did not do that good of a job. I love Chan and all, but I have to keep it real right now...I was disappointed in the film. I truly feel that it could have been much better and I hate movies that start in the present and then flash back and fourth, seeing a movie for t he first time and trying to keep up with what is happening is not my kind of film and that is how this movie was also. Another attribute that I did not appreciate about it! I could see why on Opening Weekend it cam in at #5...

TODAY has been the GREATEST DAY EVER!
First, I can start off by saying that the very good chain of events started when I was at the Dollar Store (no shame in broadcasting that because things are too expensive), when all of a sudden I get en e-mail from a Casting Director saying that I should call the office in one week. I have no idea as to why! I am keeping my fingers crossed that it is for a speaking role, a recurring role, etc. I have been striving so hard to reach that goal! I called my best friend, brady to tell him the news because Brady has been the MOST supportive friend that I could ever ask for! His encouraging words jsut do it for me. He says thigns that I already know about myself, but hearing him say them means so much to me and I love that he has so much faith in me!
Second, great thing that happened-my friend Nate may be coming to Louisiana for Mardi Gras! It has been so long since I have seen him! That'd be so cool!
Thirdly and lastly, my good friends Zach and Lisa surprised me tonight with a call saying that they are definitely coming to Louisiana in two week before the move to California fro Zack's job and they want to see me. I adore those little kids of theirs and Zach and Lisa! I am very excited to see them!
I cannot believe all the miracles that have happened to me today! I feel truly blessed!

"One 4 The $$$"--How Much to See This Show? LOL
I felt like this film was a repeat of "The Bounty Hunter" with Aniston & Butler, but in this film Heigl was going after more than 1 person. Lionsgate tends to distribute movies that basically are on the borderline of sucking. The movie did NOT suck, but at the same time, it did not appeal to me as I thought it would. I didn't read the book, so I cannot say if the film deviated or what, but there were funny scenes & the Grandma-oh, now she made me laugh right out loud. Heigl made me LOL as well, but everyone did an average job. If I haf the option to see this at a screening or cheaper, I would have taken either of those choices! Shepherd did an outstanding job for her role! Acting like a ghetto hoodrat is her dream role! Lol! She plays it all too good! All in all, it was a cute film with laughs-not great laughs-but laughs nonetheless....

Screening "The Grey"
The very first 15 minutes of the movie was so slow & boring as heck....but once the plane crashed-it's ON! There are literally NO words to describe how those blood-thirsty wolves were making me jump in my seat in the theater! It is always simple for me to complain that a movie is NOT scary enough or it could have been less predictable. This film was the OPPOSITE of that! I was on the edge of my seat the ENTIRE movie! I could NEVER tell when the wolves were going to attack or kill someone. I tried to prepare myself in some scenes because I thought the moment would come, but didn't-and when I did not; it did! Lol! I LOVE & APPRECIATE movies like this because it is very suspenseful & not predictable at all because some of the things that happened, I truly did not see coming & the killing was not gory killing, so no worries if you thought you would see limbs being torn apart & such-they kept it very minimal where that is concerned. The ending, I HATED-but it was crucial to end it that way & you will understand why....it is SUSPENSE.....WHO WON YOU THINK?

Last Day on the set of Broken City!
Well, today was a great day because I got to see Mark Wahlberg again! He acknowledged me TWICE by waving towards and directly to me. It was a huge feeling knowing that a celebrity recalls me and Catherine Zeta-Jones did the same thing and I got to talk to her like three times. I could not pass up any opportunity to talk to her! She is stunning in person! The scenes went great and I had a great time filming with him, her, and Actress Alona Tal, and Actor Barry Pepper.

VAMPIRES LIVE IN THE "Underworld: Awakening in IMAX 3D!"
DYNAMITE film! It kind of was like a slow-going cartoon film & didn't look very realistic, but I still enjoyed it! I loved watching it in IMAX 3D! There were a lot of cool fighting & somewhat gory fighting scenes. Those lycans were scary & when they jumped directly at me-coming, literally off of the screen was nasty & just disgusting! I jumped a few times because it was very freaky! Lol! The way that it ended, a sequel will be made....more Selene is coming & Kate Beckinsale looked great in her tight leather outfit & she was a 100% badass and I liked her playing a role like this because it is rare! The movie had awesome killing, action, & mystery!

Filming Dogfight This Tuesday-Thursday!
It was fun, but words cannot also describe the 100's of people that were there. The circumstances that we had to endure were not painful, but still, nonetheless, odd. I ran into a friend of mine while I was shooting, well waiting to shoot a scene on Thursday, Jan. 19th and it was good to see him after all this time! We had a short visit, but I was still shocked to see him! Lol! The scenes that we taped had Dan Aykroyd and John Lithgow! Both guys were super cool and funny! Very down to Earth. Woody Harrelson dropped by the set to say hi because he is in town shooting another movie I am working on with him and these three days were fun but was murder on my feet, I do not know about everyone else, but they were on mine! Whew! But I endured. The Director knows me by name and told me that he always loves seeing me on set because I have a great personality and that something that you love to hear esp. when the Director is telling it to YOU! By you I do mean me! Lol!

The Saints FINAL Final Game!
The WHO DATS lost to the 49ers tonight. A score of 36-32. They fought well, but the defense needs better work. That winning streak had to end, I just wanted it to get a little bit further like to the Superbowl! I have no more to say about it because I am too depressed!

...and "DOGFIGHT" is back to Film a Concert Scene!...
I am so beyond exhaustion! I cannot even describe to you in words about how looong and disturbing last night's shoot was. I arrived on set at 6:30 in the morning and we did not finish until 1:45 am the next morning! I worked literally 19 hours and I am due some serious bucks and overtime! I have never ever in my entire life filmed this long ever since I have been doing extra work! Never in my life! The holding area was kind of warm but was in a disgusting building and the filming location area was cold and all the seats were messed up to completion. it was an old theater and it looked like a place homeless people would be living. There were over 500+ extras there and it was horrific! I never want to do something like that again! Besides Will Ferrell being there, two other celebs were on set. The Wrestler, The Miz and Survivor Boston Rob. Look for them in the movie we taped last night!

Filming "DOGFIGHT" as a Voter...and....
Today's shoot was really interesting and damn near Jack Frost cold and very breezy! We did an exterior shot and Extras Holding was freezing too because we were in an old building. I was freezing so much, I could not type anything on my cell phone, my hands were frozen! Got to film with Dylan McDermott and Will Ferrell today! I spoke to Will and he smiled at me with a smile very big and wide and asked how I was doing! It makes me feel so good, when CELEBS talk to me all happy and very very cheerful! The scenes that we did today were very funny and I was seen on camera. A fast walk-by kind of a shot and a stunt was done also. Always awesome to see! Stay tuned!

My Tuxedo Fitting for Filming "Broken City!"
I had a tuxedo fitting for this film that I am hoping to film with Mark Wahlberg on the 20th of next week! Mark is one of my favorite actors ever besides Matt Damon! I have a ton of them! Trust that! Lol! My fitting went by rather quickly! He measured me up gave me a shirt and pants-fitted me with my jacket and boom, i was all set to go. A s soon as I walked in and saw the lady who works fro the Casting Company. She was so impressed that I bought my photo copy of my ID and she said that she loved me and loves my handwriting, it was very easy to read and I always follow the proper protocol and such! Lol! It warms my heart to have people speak highly of me! Always a major plus!

3-DAY ADVANCED SCREENING--MY DEBUT FILM ARRIVES: "Contraband Night!"
Really spectacular, but--I felt it could have had more action in the beginning rather than have all the action occur at the end! Besides that, the movie was great! I spotted myself 3 times throughout the film & it was totally awesome to see! The movie really had deep deceptions in it. You thought one thing, where it turns out opposite of what you thought initially. There were some funny parts; there were some gory killing scenes where the audience was making noises & remarks because of how close the bullets were getting shot into people on the screen! I think that this movie had the action, definitely had the suspense, was NOT predictable, & it kept you guessing & never had a dull moment! Awesome!

ADVANCE SCREENING: Make That "Joyful Noise!"
Words CANNOT express how sensational, captivating, enjoyable, mesmerizing, exquisite, & phenomenal this film was! KeKe Palmer was outstanding! Simply breathtaking! The way she sang, how she sung--oh my goodness! She captivated audiences! She gives a Perfect 10, 2 Thumbs Up, & an A+ performance! The ending scene reminded me so much of Sister Act 2! If you saw it, u would know exactly what I am referring to! I just cannot stop thinking about how this movie touched me! It is just mind-blowing! I've NEVER had a movie prick my heart like this & have a profound effect on me like this! All the scenes with Queen Latifah & Dolly Parton were very funny! This movie had light confrontation, love, forgiveness, amazing singing, & exceptional acting! A few scenes brought a tear to my eye! I will get this film the day it hits DVD! Wonderful, wonderful movie! Cannot express it enough! Praise that joyful noise because it was dynamite, explosive, & magnificent! Bravo!

Wildcard NFL Playoff Game #1: Saints v. Lions
All I've got to say is that the Final Score was Saints: WHO DAT & Lions: Grrrrr-Geaux back to Detroit! Does that sum it up for ya? Lol! This was a very awesome game. The first and second quarters were not that great, but the thrid and fourth quarters were outstanding! We had our boys intercepting and Jimmy Graham and Darren Sproles and Robert Meachem scoring those TD's! Every time I looked at the screen, touchdowns were being made! It was so awesome! Awesome! The Final Score was 45-28 and that was a magnificent catch by Meachem and awesome throw from Brees to him for that touchdown! Damn, Drew can sure throw that football far, eh? :)
I love watching the games at the Casino and tonight they had a live band, the bar was open, even though I do not drink. I went into the Casino and sat by my two friends and made more just watching them play the penny machines and such. Ordered drinks, I had a coke. I loved the vibe and the people! Always great!

ADVANCED SCREENING: "Man on a Ledge!" in NYC!
This movie was not sensational-some of the manipulations, tactics, and jokes were, though! This film overall was pretty enjoyable, but did not have a ton of suspense & adrenaline-pumping scenes as I expected from the previews that were shown. There were very funny moments where certain characters made quips or jokes that kept the audience chuckling & there were a lot of people that were lied to, mistrusted, & deceived along with the first sentence in this rating & all those characteristics made this film very interesting & enjoyable. I was in the edge of my seat in ONE scene because I did not know if the main character was going to jump or not! I think that the older guy in the crowd was funny as hell shouting & carrying on! Lol! See this movie, it will take you to heights you never thought a person would or could go to "free themselves." The ending of the movie, EVERYTHING falls into place if you could not figure it out in time.....

REGULAR SEASON-THE FINAL SHOWDOWN: BLACK & GOLD vs. Carolina Panthers...TAKE TWO...
Wow! What a game huh? Dat Jimmy Graham and Darren Sproles made a record along with Drew Brees form last week! Every time I looked Marques Colston was catching them footballs and scoring touchdowns every which way! It was insane, but as always Drew Brees gets outta the game once the score is in the 40's and higher and the opposing team cannot catch up! That is funny! 8-0 is the last number of games we have won and in a row! When Sproles is running, he looks like a little short midget running or at least trying to chase the ice cream man for candy, etc. But he can run really really fast and it shows! The Final Score of this game was 45-17! The fans are finding themselves saying, "Reggie who?" LOL! Who dat? That is funny as all hell! Seeing former Saints Player, Jeremy Shockey on the field playing against us was sorta odd, but THAT is all in the game of the NFL!
