  • Patterson’s Appliances from “That Thing You Do!”

    Patterson’s Appliances from “That Thing You Do!”

    ‘ After stalking the downtown Orange spot where the That Thing You Do! mailbox scene was filmed (which I blogged about yesterday), I dragged the Grim Cheaper just a few feet south to stalk the storefront that was used as Patterson’s Appliances, drummer Guy Patterson’s (Tom Everett Scott) family’s shop, in the 1996 flick.  Thank…

  • The “Fracture” House

    The “Fracture” House

    ‘ A few weeks ago, while doing some cyberstalking, I came across a fabulous filming locations database named Unreel Locations and I just about died when I saw a listing for what the site referred to as “The Fracture House”.  I immediately recognized the property as the ultra modern abode where Ted Crawford (aka Anthony…

  • Charlie’s Apartment Building from “Monster-in-Law”

    Charlie’s Apartment Building from “Monster-in-Law”

    ‘ The third and final Monster-in-Law locale that I set out to find this past weekend was the supposed Venice Beach area apartment building where Charlie Cantilini (aka Jennifer Lopez) lived in the flick.  Fellow stalker Nick had already determined that the Spanish-style building was located somewhere in Hollywood, so from there I set out…

  • The “Mr. Deeds” Soda Fountain

    The “Mr. Deeds” Soda Fountain

    ‘ A few weeks ago, while giving my good friend Kerry and her husband a stalking tour of the Pasadena area, we happened to drive by South Pasadena’”‘”‘s Fair Oaks Pharmacy and Soda Fountain, which was used in the 2002 Adam Sandler comedy Mr. Deeds.  When I pointed out the corner drugstore to Kerry and told her of its cinematic…

  • The Step Brothers House

    The Step Brothers House

    ‘ Got a challenge last week from my good friend Chelsea who wanted me to find the home used in the 2008 movie Step Brothers.  Lucky for me, Mike, from MovieShotsLA,  had already found this location a few months back and told me where it was located.  🙂   So, today – after stalking about a million wedding locations…

  • Liz’s House from “Jumpin’ Jack Flash”

    Liz’s House from “Jumpin’ Jack Flash”

    ‘ There are two kinds of people in this world – those who can watch movies over and over and over again and those who cannot.  I am in the former category.  During my teens and twenties, my parents owned a condominium in Hawaii.  We would vacation there every summer, along with other families who…

  • Loews Hollywood Hotel from Britney Spears’ “Everytime” Music Video

    Loews Hollywood Hotel from Britney Spears’ “Everytime” Music Video

    ‘ I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – I hate change, especially when it comes to filming locations.  So I was devastated when the Renaissance Hollywood Hotel, one of my favorite Tinseltown lodgings and frequent film star, was sold a couple of years ago, rebranded as a Loews, and extensively remodeled.  Though…

  • Drew Barrymore’s Childhood Home

    Drew Barrymore’s Childhood Home

    ‘ A few weeks ago, Drew Barrymore aficionado Ashley, from The Drewseum website, asked me and fellow stalker Owen for some help in tracking down the home where the young E.T. star lived from 1984 through 1988.  Over the years, Ashley had accumulated a few clues as to the property’s location, mostly from Drew’s autobiography…

  • Alex Theatre from “You”

    Alex Theatre from “You”

    ‘ The Grim Cheaper and I spent the days after Christmas in full vacation mode – sleeping in late, staying in our pajamas until all hours, and binging countless movies and TV shows, including the second season of Netflix’s You, which, I have to say, I enjoyed even more than the first.  Well, up until…

  • The Sex and the City Honeymoon House

    The Sex and the City Honeymoon House

    ‘ Ever since Sex and the City: The Movie premiered last May, I have been absolutely dying to stalk the hotel where the girls stayed during Carrie’”‘”‘s non-honeymoon.  In the movie, Carrie, Samantha, Miranda, and Charlotte spend a week at what is supposedly a private villa located on the grounds of a Mexican resort.   In actuality, though, not only…
