The Meiks’s House from “Frailty”
‘ One of my absolute, hands-down, favorite movies of all time is the 2001 thriller Frailty, which just so happens to be actor Bill Paxton’s directorial debut.

The Stuart Building from “That Thing You Do!”
‘ Back in early October, upon returning home from doing some That Thing You Do! stalking in Orange (you can read my posts on the locations I stalked here, here and here), I popped in my DVD of the 1996 flick to re-watch it for the first time in years. I was absolutely shocked –…

The Numb3rs House

The “Malcolm in the Middle” House
‘ This weekend while I was in Studio City, I did a little stalking of the house. I must admit that I have never watched a single episode of I know, I know, I must have been living under a rock for the past eight years or something – but since it is the favorite show of…

Pete’s House from “Bridesmaids”
‘ Speaking of Cameron Woods (in case you missed Monday’s post, you can read it here) . . . while wandering around the neighborhood recently I was reminded of a spot that I stalked long ago but had yet to blog about – the house belonging to Pete (Brian Petsos) in the 2011 comedy Bridesmaids. …

Jackie Robinson Stadium from “Never Been Kissed”
‘ One location that I attempted to stalk far more times than I actually care to admit is the supposed Chicago, Illinois-area Municipal Stadium where Sam Coulson (aka Michael Vartan) kissed Josie Geller (aka Drew Barrymore) for the very first time during the final scene of fave movie Never Been Kissed. Fellow stalker Owen had…
