Back 2 The Future or Back to...."Filming Medallion!" @ Six Flags Resort

Me and Victor

The Stunt Man, Jared!

Well, it was my first day back on the set after being on a one-month hiatus from Nick Cage's upcoming 2012 suspense film, Medallion! We were filming @ an abandoned amusement park (JazzLand 'aka' Six Flags) and did it look like a complete disaster ghost town there!

When I first arrived on the set today, I was so excited to see how they transformed an old/vacant place like this, as I stated just above into a set in the French Quarter to look like a Mardi Gras Festival! I also was excited to see my filming buddy, Victor, whom I have not seen since February when we filmed “Justice for Natalee” together. When we saw each other, we grabbed each other at the same time and hugged one another like we had not seen each other in ten years!

The facial expressions we had amazed even me. I have no idea why we were soooo happy to see one another again. It was really special to me to feel appreciated the way Victor treats me! The entire day that we were filming, we hung out together, joking, had lunch together, etc. He even saved a place for me in the long anaconda line to sign vouchers to get paid and exit the set. What an amazing friend, huh? It never ceases to amaze me @ how production can spice up a set and invent a total different atmosphere and vibe.

Once filming started, the first scene was about all the extras partying around and pretending to catch beads from other extras throwing them and confetti falling and making it look like a party zone while Nicolas Cage jumps on top of taxis and does a fast running action scene. My friend, Jared was in a Medallion cab that Nick jumps on top of and he calls him an asshole in the scene! HaHa!

My friend Jared is a professional stunt person. Later on, an Production Assistant comes up to me and tells me that he wants me to be a float rider instead of a Mardi Gras Partier, so I get into this amazingly hot costume and throw beads, cups, teddy bears, etc. and it was so much fun because I have never ridden on a float a single day in my entire life. I so enjoyed it but was sweating and on top of that I had to have a mask on! The only celebs that I filmed with were Nick Cage & Josh Lucas.

Lucas arrived on the set at the end of the shoot and had only on short scene and it was revealed that he would be “in a lot of gory pain” in the part he filmed today! Look for it in 2012! Today was a really fun day and I am glad that I got to see funny filming buddies of me: Erroll, esp. Victor, Jared, and Ryan! B certain 2 look for the scene in 2012! I have been featured in so many parts in this movie, I cannot keep track, but that is a good thing! :)

Filming HBO's "Treme" After TWO MONTHS!

We were filming at the Republic Club in New Orleans today for this scene. It was a short day. I call from 7am-1pm very short! I filmed with Steve Zahn again and Lucia Micarelli. The scene was really a concert and Zahn was singing a James Brown song and he was dressed like the white Carlton Banks form Fresh Prince of Bel-Air! Lol! He was up on stage shaking his butt, jumping off the stage as fans greeted him, and just a character! Steve is really a funny guy! Totally! When lunch time came, he sat right across from me and we talked and Lucia did too. I always feel so nervous around celebs. I do not know why, but I do. I love seeing them in movies and now to be filming with people that I have been seeing on my TV for years...it is kinda unreal, but nonetheless, I love it! :)

Advanced Screening Night: Call a "Priest in 3D" Quick!

I don't know why I was interested in this film! I guess that I saw the 3D visual effects in the trailer and assumed that it would be good! Boy was I ever tricked! This movie sucked! I started to drift off and that is so not good-EVER! There were some parts in the film that freaked me out a little bit that I wanted to vomit and then there were other parts where I was not so freaked out & the very ending of the movie on the train was exciting! I LOVE to see bombs and explosions and all that stuff! I love the ACTION in a film; no matter the genre! I'm so glad that I saw the movie for FREE because it was n Advanced Screening and the 3D glasses were free as well and if I had to pay for this movie and saw it in 3D: I would have to demand a refund or a Re-Admit Pass and go see another movie or save it for a movie that I would not mind seeing again if I was bored or something! There is nothing positive that I can say about this film at all; truthfully! I hope that a sequel will not be made! The End! This was a horrifying film-but NOT A HORROR FILM!

Photography Session Today!

My friend, Suzanne, whom has her very own PHOTOGRAPHY STUDIO came over 2 my place today and took soem professionl headshots of me so that when I apply for casting and filming jobs, I have professional photos TO SHOW THEM AND THESE ARE THEM! What u think?

What If "Something Borrowed" Was Not 4 U?

I've always said TWO girls cannot be best friends & be after the same man! This movie was VERY entertaining. Kate Hudson was really acting and showing her acting capabilities! She was funny, she was wild/reckless, she was entertaining, she was pissed, she was confused, angry, any role that she needed to portray in this film-she did it: PERFECTLY! I loved her character. The actor who played her love interest was very good also, he could have put more emphasis into his character, but nonetheless his acting along with Ginnifer were very similar and they belonged together in the movie! Lol! I think that this film was a remake of movies such as Bride Wars or The Wedding Planner where the Bride wants to marry a certain guy but falls for her GF's best friend or brother, etc. Very predictable. But I thought that this movie was very funny, sweet, romantic, and should have come out into theatres on Valentine's Day weekend instead of on Mother's Day weekend! Ha! Kate Hudson really outdid herself in this movie and I enjoyed watching her perform in this film! The way she was dancing and somewhat bossing people around and having that charisma where whatever she wanted, she went after it no matter the costs and speaking her mind; just being bold. That is what attracted me to her character!

Seeing "Thor 3D" Premiere!!!

This movie was good & had great visual effects and sounds—the works! But the two things that disappointed me about the film was that it was not as good as I thought it was going to be & secondly, I saw it in 3D and there were no 3D effects throughout the entire film. They had a very select few parts that were 3D, but it was very very minimal. Hopkins played his role of the Father really well and the one part that keeps sticking in my mind is when Darcy asked Thor to smile because she was going to put a picture of him on Facebook & he smiled-everyone in the auditorium smiled! Ha! Thor was more of an action/comedy movie because I was laughing more or less at 10 minute intervals. Not saying it was a bad thing, but I was expecting it to be a serious Marvel movie like Iron Man, Spiderman, or even Avatar. I was looking forward to seeing this film for months & now that the time has come, I feel pissed because I do not feel that it lived up to any high expectations. Natalie Portman was not even seen a whole lot in the movie and that was just wrong because I would say the film was centered on her and Thor. In short, like I stated-it was good, but if it wins #1 it will be because of the acting of Thor and all the visual/special effects!

T (heresa) & T(ravis) Gets REALLY GREAT Snowballs!

Me and My Snowball!!

Theresa and her Snowball!!

There has been this famous and very historic snowball stand in New Orleans for 75 years and they have had the reputation to have the best snowballs in town, the ice is so fine that it melts in your mouth and that the taste of them are great! So me and Theresa went & got some of took pics in front of the place! It was soooo good! :)

I got the Bubble Gum flavor and it was soo good! All tourists and everyone needs to be going to this place! Delicious!

Advanced Screening of "Jumping The Broom" w/Theresa

I saw the Advanced Screening of this film! This movie was funny and very real heart-felt. This was a movie that needed to be centered on Mother’s Day because it truly is about the “mothers” in the movie and what they are trying to represent. Paula Patton really did a phenomenal job and Angela Bassett, Meagan Good, Tasha Smith, Mike Epps, especially, and Loretta Devine made this movie! Mike Epps had me cracking up in the theater! The scenes that Tasha Smith had with Lil Romeo were soooo funny! Tasha makes me laugh in any comedy role she portrays! Lol! Loretta Devine had me refelecting about my mother and other mothers in the world and how they need to step back and examine the huge blessings that they have in front of them and to be careful not to lose them and to really know the definition of a “mother.” The entire cast did a great job and there was a SHOCKING TWIST in the movie that will shock you! All the scenes were great, I LEARNED from this movie so many things about either family or friends. Very crucial life lessons can be found throughout this film. For real! I just have NOTHING bad to say about this movie at all! It was all about coming together, change, family, peace/harmony, etc. I will be buying this movie on DVD-there is no doubt in my mind about that! Everyone did a spectacular job!

Vin, Paul, Michelle, Ludacris, & The Rock R "Fast Five" Premiere

I’ve always been a huge Fast & Furious fan! But this movie was great…it seems like the latest film is always better than the previous one. This movie picked up right where the last one ended. Ludacris and Tyrese had some funny parts in the movie and that is what made it even greater! Having an action-themed/packed film with a little humor makes a movie in my opinion. Vin & Paul Walker always make jokes about who is the better driver and I laugh at them. The fighting scene between The Rock and Vin Diesel was awesome. Having those two go up against each other is just not right. The Rock was too huge and he could have whipped Vin! Lol! Some parts of the movie was ‘fake’ & I could see that. The special effects made it possible for me to recognize it! The scene with the safe was tight and how it ended everyone in the theater was clapping! All in all, it was an explosive movie! It was great from beginning to end!

Filming "Freelancers" With 50 Cent & Forest Whitaker!!! O yea!!!

I filmed with Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson and Academy Award Winner Forest Whitaker today on the new Crime/Thriller, Freelancers. Both actors were very nice and mingled with the extras and the fans in the area that we filmed at. Also, 50 Cent took pics with kids and gave them each 1 $10 bill afterwards. Talk about cool and very generous! At one point, a lady handed him an infant and then ran off and he replied, "Whose baby is this?" Kissed the baby on the cheek and then handed the infant to another relative! Lol! Everyone loved Forest and was telling him that they see all of his movie and him on CBS' Criminal Minds! The scenes that we filmed today was action ones. One scene had all the extras in an area and just pretending look busy like walking down the street, talking on the corner, talking on a cell phone, etc. while 50 and Forest tried to stop two girls from breaking and entering into an abandoned building. The other scene we shot was the best because it was a girl being ran over by a bus. The main Latin actress started it odd by running from the playground nearby and running into the street away from 50 Cent and she gets hit by the bus and Forest comes up in the cop car and tells him to leave her there and hop in and those were the only scenes that we filmed today. We filmed from 6am-6pm. It was fun and very exciting. The other two Latin girls were stunt doubles/stand-ins and there even had a Latin dummy doll...how they will piece it all together should be interesting, but it was great to see something like that happen because I have always found the stunts in movies very exciting! And that was my day on Freelancers!

The Set...set in Queens, NY--but Louisiana for real...

Filming "21 Jump Street" feat. Channing Tatum & Jonah Hill!

Today marks the first day of principle production on Sony's "21 Jump Street" and I had the opportunity to meet with Actors Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill today. I was used for a tiny scene but was not seen so I will have another opportunity to film and be seen. No worries about that. When I saw Channing I ran right up to him and told him that I hope he has a very Happy Birthday tomorrow (4/26) which is his real birthday & he was so grateful that I told him that he kept telling em that he appreciated that! Next, I had asked him for a photos and be obliged and we took not only one but two! He was so cool and willing to take the photos with me! He is a very nice and down to Earth person. Later on during the day I spotted Jonah Hill and I asked him for a photo and he said yes, of course. I told him that I was tweeting on on Twitter and he said that he recalled all my messages! Amazing, huh? The tiny scene that I was filming was pretending to talk to a cop partner of mine and then going into our separate cars and we did that for 10 times straight. But for the rest of the time...I was chilling in Extras Holding. I do not consider the day a complete loss because I got pics with the two lead actors, talked to them, and they were cool so I am so happy right now! :)

Tanya, Sabrina, and I See "Madea's Big Happy Family" Gets Loose & Crazy!

I saw this movie movie tonight with a mother and daughter that are close to me. We laughed at this movie and had a great night! In all honesty, I think that Tyler did not put his all into this movie. It was good-but not his greatest work. Madea was not in the movie that much, but the sections that she was-I laughed my butt off! And Bam was pretty funny in the movie as well…I laughed at almost everything she said and did in the movie! Joe was funny as usual and the ending was a huge funny shocker! Unbelievable! I was really looking forward to laughing the entire movie, but I did not & was very disappointed. As a whole, the movie was good-NOT GREAT as I said earlier. Tyler Perry is a great actor as Madea, but when he plays himself, he just does not have that spark and this was like an ordinary plain low-budget movie and it hurts me to rate it a very high rating and I would be definitely shocked if it came in the Weekend Box Office at #1! If it does, I am happy for him, but if not-movie critics share my opinions about the film. I just cannot get over the fact that this movie was so plain and had no umph to it like his other 9 previous films.

My FIRST Day Filming-"Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter"

We filmed in City Park of New Orleans, La. and we were dressed in such small and tight clothing and it was all wool and we were sweating our butts off to death. We were filming from 6am up until 7PM! There was some slight breeze for part of the day but it was a hot one. Wearing all wool in the South in April? What were they thinking! Everyone was complaining of how hot it was and all the standing we had to do, but the crew told us that would happen so we could not react to it because we were well prepared. I got a chance to meet Anthony Mackie and Mary E. Winstead and Benjamin Walker. They looked old but they had to to be Abe Lincoln and Winstead plays his wife in the movie and Mackie is Abe's right hand man. Pics were not allowed because the production does not want pics getting out before the film is released but you know people will take pics on the sly and we did! It is just a habit! All in all, the shot went great and I had a wonderful time! I was thinking about movies such as old Country Westerns, Titanic because of how the girls hair was, The Color Purple, Roots, all those old classics and Walker Texas Ranger! I was literally brought back to Earth when I was wearing my own clothes! I felt like I was dressed to pick cotton, be a slave, no segregation, etc! Oh man!

How I Feel About Cage's Arrest Today!

In a nutshell, everyone has been talking nonstop about this man and it is so uncalled for. People just show too much favoritism, if it was another individual and other people talked about them it would cause a riot! Nick was just drunk and did not physically abuse his wife. If I was a personal friend of his I would tell him that people make slip up callas and this was one of them, Actors are like everyone else and they have things that they do in their personal lives and the fans should not view them any differently just because they had a slip up. My judgement of him does NOT change at all because of his arrest. It was a sad event that did not have to happen, but I hope that he gets the help that he needs to come back stronger as Drew Brees would say in his book. I believe that there is something good in every person in the World and it is up to them to change-if their will is strong enough!
