    The Bedtime Stories School

    ‘ Last week, while searching for the Bedtime Stories  house, Mike, from MovieShotsLA, and I decided to also try to find the school featured in the movie.  We started our search by looking at street views of different elementary schools in the Los Angeles area, but pretty much came up empty-handed.  So, I decided to once…

    O’Hara’s Pub from “Bad Santa”

    ‘ I realize that Christmas has passed, but I have one more holiday locale to write about before bidding adieu to the Yuletide season.  Two Fridays ago, after reading my post on Footsies bar from Bad Santa, fellow stalker Owen, of the When Write Is Wrong blog, miraculously managed to track down the exterior of…

    The Benjamin N. Duke House from “The First Wives Club”

    ‘ They say revenge is a dish best served cold.  Well, I think revenge movies are a dish best served with a side of comedy.  The Other Woman?  9 to 5?  The Sting?  The First Wives Club?  All perfection!  The latter is one of my ultimate favorites, so when I saw the address of the…
