K-Ville
I didn't hate it. I didn't totally love it though either. Some of the acting was pretty shallow, mainly by the bit players so hopefully they will be casting better extras and bit parts in the future. I loved seeing that one dude. I don't know his name...but he was on Lost for a few eppies. He was one of the bad dudes at the Riverfront Casino. Guess Harrah's was cool with filming there but not the use of their name. How many people out there know what OPP is? Kristen and I looked at each other after that was said and Kristen said "not many people are gonna get that" There were a few things thrown in there that only a New Orleanian would get (or those that are New Orleanians in their heart) After all the bad guys were captured (oh how I wish that really happened down here. That fast?) and they were talking about deals being made by the guys? I said "yeah that is all good till the D.A. and everyone else messes it up and they all go free. " Lord knows if that had really happened here? All those people would have gotten off. I also loved the chase scenes. Look they are in the Quarter, now they are in Algiers, now they are back in the CBD. I know they have to do that....I have seen it in movies filmed down here, but it amuses me to no end.
Some people are going to think it was incredibly sappy and that this stuff doesn't happen down here. Guess what? There are people that are still struggling to no end with what happened. It isn't healthy and people are fighting to move on. There are still so many obstacles in the way. Yes people really are that emotional down here.
I will continue to watch, and I hope others do as well. Like I said, it has created jobs for people out here and that is a good thing. One small step in healing.
