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!

Filming Updates!

I have NOT made one specific entry as to how I feel about filming. Sure, I may blog about certain movie or TV Shows that I have filmed on and how exciting the experience is, but I have never written in general, how it feels to me. Period. So here it goes---

These are MY reasons why I LOVE filming:

1. It is something that I have always had a passion for and I feel blessed to have this opportunity,
2. I never wanted a career in film production or becoming an actor, but it seems as if it chose me and I am following through with it because of my love for movies,
3. I get to work with kind and wonderful producers and directors (have not worked with Steven Spielberg or James Cameron yet....Lol),
4. I get to talk to real-life Actors and Actresses and ask them how they got started and I get advice and tips form them,
5. I get to eat lunch with all types of filming people such as PA's, Assistant AD's, celebs, interns, visual effects people, etc., and finally
6. I am making good friends and I am learning at how movies are made and all the work that goes into making them a hit and learning about what the Director of Photography does, how long it takes to edit a film, why teaser trailers are made---then official trailers, different types of cameras, the atmosphere, how stunts are performed, and much more!

FINALLY: Be sure to watch for ME in the following films scheduled to air next year in 2012--more to come, of course...

"So Undercover" (Miley Cyrus)
"Contraband" (Mark Wahlberg)
"Looper" (Bruce Willis)
"Lay the Favorite" (Catherine Zeta-Jones and Bruce Willis)
"Loft" (Wentwortrh Miller and James Marsden)
"Medallion" (Nick Cage)
"Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" (Benjamin Walker)
"21 Jump Street" (Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill)
"Freelancers" (50 Cent and Forest Whitaker)

Advanced Night w/Theresa!: Da Wolfpack is "Hungover" Again...GREAT NIGHT!!!

Have 2 say this FIRST: Alan’s wedding gift 2 Stu was a shocker @ the end of the film! It matched well with Stu! I saw the Advanced Screening of the movie & it rocked! My eyes were blood red from laughing so hysterically! I mean the FUNNIEST two characters in the movie were Stu and Alan. Phil & Doug were also funny-but Stu & Alan were making me laugh so much. I mean the movie was so much better than the first. The photography of the film was spectacular, the actors did a great job, it was funny, it was exciting and some of the things that were seen in this movie were X-rated, I can tell you! It totally freaked me the hell out! These are things that I never expected to see! They caught me off guard! All the scenes with that monkey were hilarious! All the facial expressions that Alan made were priceless. The format of the movie/opening credits were exactly similar 2 the first Hangover. The movie was excellent from beginning to end! I will probably go see it again and have to pay for it-but I am telling you that it will be so totally worth it for the laughter! When I exited the theater, I told the Warner Bros. representatives, because they were asking all the patrons how the movie was—that I loved it very much and that it was funny and that I had the pleasure to meet Ed Helms last year (2009) on the set of his new film, “Jeff Who Lives @ Home.” The movies are high, the economy sucks, but The Hangover II….PRICELESS!

What Is Up With The "Bridesmaids?" Tonight

Equal 2 "The Hangover" except for the fact that no one went missing in the movie. I did not want to see this film, but more and more people kept talking about it, I noticed that it got outstanding reviews, more and more guys went to see it than women, FB statuses were posted about it, so I had to see if all this was correct and it was definitely confirmed. This film was very funny! It had a ton of sexual references and R-rated images. Some stuff it in made me laugh so hard that my eyes were on fire! I could not catch my breath because it was funny from start to finish. It was not a chick flick to me; just because a movie is centered on all women does not mean that a man cannot appreciate a good comedy movie! Kristen Wiig really, really, really outdid herself in this movie. Her body language and movements were perfect! She played the "LEAD ROLE" in this movie-there is no doubt in my mind about that! Job VERY well-done! Also, the bathroom sink scene with Megan was by far, my FAVORITE scene in the entire movie!

Filming A New Film: "Lay The Favorite!"---Filmed w/Catherine Zeta-Jones, Bruce Willis, & Frank Grillo!

Today was my very first day on set of the new movie, “Lay the Favorite.” I filmed with Actress Catherine Zeta-Jones, Bruce Willis, & Frank Grillo. I did make contact with Catherine Zeta-Jones while we were filming the Airport scene (made it look like JFK Airport in NYC) & I told her that I loved her in the Ocean’s movies, Intolerable Cruelty, Entrapment, and the Zorro movies. She spoke with her accent and told me thank you and it was nice to meet you too, Sir. Her accent was very strong & she was dressed so beautifully. I was in a scene with all three of them and in the scene I am walking right next to them as they are walking towards the cameras. You will be able to see the back of me, but not the front. The other scene that I filmed was at a restaurant and I was located at the bar drinking or sipping red wine, which was really grape juice. Lol! It tasted great and the only action that I was given was to pretend to talk to a guy next to me at the bar. To make the scene look more real, I asked for a menu and the two of us looked it over together. I love just making up ways to be noticed and I can land my very first speaking part, etc. All in all, today was a very great day and I was so happy to make contact with at least one of the three stars. Frank Grillo did make a joke at me but he was walking away as he was joking and I did not want suspicion to become an issue, so I did not comment on his joke, but feel terrible about it though. Bruce Willis was acting like a down to Earth kid in the scenes. He was singing, screaming, etc. He is truly a nice gentleman and it is always an honor and privilege to film with him and anyone who is well-respected and kind.

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!
