ALL ABOUT MOVIES: Casting Calls, Box Office Numbers & Indie Showings


Calling all aspiring actors/actresses! There are a couple of casting calls for SBC thespians (and plain ol' spotlight hogs lol). Check them out (courtesy of the Louisiana Movies Blog):



Year One' reshoot still needs extras


"The Year One"
is back in Sibley, La. through Oct. 29th for reshoots. The movie stars Jack Black and Michael Cera.

Extras -- anyone 18 or older -- are needed for all dates. These are paid positions.

For more info:

Documentary holding open auditions


Jim McCullough Jr., who's been making movies in Shreveport before Hollywood did, is hosting auditions for a new TV pilot.

It is "based on the sometimes painful, sometimes funny, always empowering process of learning to write (and read) more effectively."

If you think you fit the bill, call (318) 218-3456 to arrange audition. No acting experience necessary.



Speaking of movies made in the SBC ....

"W"
(the biopic about our current prez, directed by Oliver Stone), debuted this past weekend. Apparently the film was popular, because it made the Top 10 at the Box Office, coming in at #4 and bringing in a little over $10 million:


1. Max Payne - $18 million
2. Beverly Hills Chihuahua - $11.2 million
3. The Secret Life of Bees - $11 million
4. W. - $10.5 million
5. Eagle Eye - $7.3 million
6. Body of Lies - $6.8 million
7. Quarantine - $6.3 million
8. Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist - $3.9 million
9. Sex Drive - $3.56 million
10. Nights in Rodanthe - $2.68 million



A homegirl of mine who's from Shreveport but now lives in Florida was excited to see the movie and says there are lot of familiar places and faces that will appeal to Shreveporters ..

BUT she also said the movie makes you question Dubya even more than you probably did before.



Check out Times reporter Alexandyr Kent's review
HERE.


I haven't see "W" or the other movie of interest, The Secret Life of Bees (starring J-Hud, Alicia Keys and Queen Latifah).

It also made the Top 10, beating "W" by a little under a million dollars and bringing in $11 million.


I'd also like to see Quarantine (I love scary movies) and this week's new release Saw V.


Whoo! Someone needs to take me to the movies!!! This may get expensive!!! LOL



If you're into independent film, check out the Robinson Film Center:



They are currently showing a documentary called I.O.U.S.A. (a film about the current recession and the downfall and future of the American economy). I plan to go see it this week.

Go to
www.robinsonfilmcenter.org for more information and showtimes.


Also, later this week at the RFC, another indie film by a local director called "Raised on Rice & Gravy" is showing.

Learn more about the movie
HERE and go to the RFC website for showtimes.
