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!

What's Your Faviorte Scary Movie? "Scream IV" 2'Night!

I’ve always heard of the Scream movies & I have always thought that they were supposed to be these really intense and gruesome killings, but in fact I can now see why Scary Movies 1-3 made fun of Scream. They both go in hand in hand, actually. Anyways-staying on the subject; I was really looking forward to this movie because it has been years since they made a new one and the photography of the movie was good and the acting was good. It was really great. I loved Neve Campbell in this movie, but what I cannot understand is how the Ghostface Killer always wants to kill her when it is a damn different killer in every film! Lol…does the killers exchange notes between filming the movies? Lol. There were 1 or 2 parts that made me jump because something happened very unexpectedly. The very beginning of the movie was funny (if u see it u will know why); the middle was great and not a dull moment and the scene with Anthony Anderson where he was talking about Bruce Willis is priceless! He goes out with a bang! I just hate that I knew hen people were going to die though in the film, the locations were inevitable, really. Any empty area is a “killer zone.” It was too predictable. If you are going to murder someone, at least do NOT let it be so easy for me to know when it is going to happen and STOP!! STOP!! STOP making the idiots chase the killer or leave safe places to get killed-that is what makes horror films flops and very predictable. Throughout the entire film, the girls in the row above me kept screaming in the theatre & they were the only ones! I was laughing at them more than certain funny parts in the damn film! HaHa! The ending of the movie-there was a twist and something shocking that will rock you, most definitely. You may think you know who the killer is, but when it is revealed, you will react just as I did—in disbelief! Courtney Cox was sexy and bitchy as always, of course—in short, it was great and I loved it. It is a must see, but the killing was pretty predictable, but the end got me and I figured out who the killer was at the end before it was too late! I like that aspect of the film! Kept me guessing! Thanks Wes Craven!

Take Three on Filming "Medallion" w/Boston Legal's Mark Valley and Actor Garrett Hines!!

Well, on set today (Apr. 13), I filmed with the actors Nick Cage and Mark Valley and New Orleans local actor, Garrett Hines. Garrett and Mark are two FBI Agents chasing down Cage in the French Quarter because he is trying to find his missing daughter through all the chaos of Mardi Gras Partiers and that was the entire scene that we were filming from 6am utnil 7PM! Yup, we were filming all day on that day. When we broke for lunch, that is when I asked Mark Valley for a photo and he said sure and I told him that I had just watched him on Law and Order: SVU in the episode 'Paternity" from Season 9 and he told me that was a long time ago! I told him not for me because I saw it just last week! He chuckled at me-then I went to ask Garrett for a picture and he said yes! Me and Garrett are now Facebook friends and we are keeping in touch! So if we both make it big-we can say we were in the movie business together! :) All day we filmed the same scenes. Nick Cage is in a cop's bar and the two FBI agents recognize him and as he steps put of the bar to take a call he runs through the crowd (all the extras) to find someone as the FBI agents try to catch him. The camera was zooming in on the extras partying in the streets and just walking around the area looking busy! It was very intense because the Director told us to look like we were drunk, throwing beads, etc. Typical NOLA behavior for Mardi Gras! After a few hours, we switched positions and some of us had to get on the 2nd floor balcony of a building and dance and talk, smoke and throw beads to the people on the first floor-just like a typical party day in the Quarter. A lot of tourists were around the area and saw Nick and asked him for pictures, and of course, he obliged. That is just the type of person that he is. I was moved closer to Nick the whole day. The Director kept me close to Nick. I do not know if he planned on doing that or what because I was not going to question it because I will be seen a lot in the film if I am around Nick and he is the star! I just behave so calmly when I see/film with the celebs...I stare at them because I cannot believe that I am filming a movie with a legendary actor, but I am and it is great and that is how filming went. I was also told that Malin Akerman wrapped her scenes on the 11th and she flew out the morning that I was set to film. I was sad by that because I would have loved the chance to meet and talk with her because other friends of mine who had the opportunity tow work with her said that she was so strikingly beautiful and kind. In conclusion, filming today was great and very exhausting! I "fake partied" so much that I was so tired I could not walk. I was tired to stand, wherever I could lean on a Medallion taxicab I did, I was completely drained and I now understand why celebs want to get off the set in those nice black Escalades and go and have a nice relaxing time wherever they want to go! Lol

Filming Memphis Beat: Season #2

I just had a very short scene to full fill this morning. I arrived onto the set at 6AM and was there until 11:30 and then I was wrapped. I am so glad I was not there a long time, but I did not expect for it to be that short! All I had to do was stand at the corner with some friends pretending to drink and have fun when all of a sudden we notice a cop cop going 110MPH and just to react to it. Of course,t here was a real taxi cab that was coming into the scene was the cop car was fast approaching and it was not supposed to be there because the streets were not properly blocked and they almost ran into each other and I was like: "Dang, now that is a reaction to react to for real instead of fake acting to an invisible car like we were supposed to do!" Lol. That was my scene and we shot it like 6 times form different angles and they covered up the New Orleans street signs and made all the cars with Memphis license plates since the show is called "Memphis Beat!" I managed to get a pic with Actor DJ Qualls form "Road Trip" and other movies that he has filmed . Lucky me! He was funny!

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter Costume Fitting Day!

I finally got booked to be on ALVH movie & today I had a costume fitting because t his movie is set in the early 1600's and we have to wear those old old old old old clothes like in BC times! Lol! The people who fitted me were very funny and really nice! I wish that all people were kind like that: the casting agents, people in wardrobe, etc because so many people here in the South have attitude problems so badly! I was dressed in all wool clothing and man it was hot and to b filming outside in the South in the hot weather, oh I am not looking forward to filming! But I am excited though!

What's Up With "Arthur" Opening Night

I thought that Russell Brand did an OUTSTANDING job portraying Arthur. He was witty, funny, charismatic, & just a plain super-spoiled rich kid and I hope that there are not people who behave like that in the real world today! Lol! The Grand Central Terminal scene was awesome to me; the scene where he went looking for a job was funny and the Bridal Shower scene with Jennifer Garner was funny as he was singing and rhyming at the same time. Other than that, the other parts of the movie, I chuckled a bit and did not laugh hysterically. The scene with Greta & Russell when they were pretend talking at Grand Central Terminal made me NYC sick because I was walking down that same path when I was in NY 3 years ago and it seemed like yesterday. Jennifer Garner was not in the movie a lot, but the parts that she was in-she played her character average. There were certain parts in the movie where I was really waiting for Arthur to do something so mature and grown up, but it never happened. He did do some grown up things, but did it in a childish sort of a way so it does not count. The movie was really funny from beginning to end. You should see it; you will laugh and laugh, and definitely laugh! Arthur makes you L-A-U-G-H! He will bring the inner-kid out in YOU! :)
