    Charlie and Kevin’s House from “Monster-in-Law”

    ‘ A couple of weeks ago, fellow stalker Nick challenged me to track down all of the residences used in the 2005 romantic comedy Monster-in-Law, including Charlie Cantilini’s (aka Jennifer Lopez’s) Mediterranean-style apartment building, Kevin Fields’ (aka Michael Vartan’s) Craftsman house, and Viola Fields’ (aka Jane Fonda’s) opulent mansion.  Nick had already done most of…

    The Schaffer Residence from “A Single Man”

    ‘ A couple of weeks ago, I dragged my new husband out to stalk an architecturally and cinematically famous house located in Glendale at the base of the Verdugo Mountains – the John Lautner-designed Schaffer Residence which appeared in fashion designer Tom Ford’s directorial debut, A Single Man.  I found this location thanks to fellow…

    Fosselman’s Ice Cream from “Phantasm”

    ‘ When I was a little girl, my grandma would regularly take me out for an afterschool treat at our local ice cream parlor.  I cherished those trips, and now the memories of them, and was absolutely devastated when the parlor closed down about 15 years ago only to be replaced by a gift store. …

  • The “Twins” Mansion

    The “Twins” Mansion

    ‘ Another day, another Twins  location.  🙂  Unbelievably, before writing my post about the Twins house yesterday, I had yet to actually see the movie. For some reason, even though we own a copy of it on DVD, I had never sat down to watch it.  Until yesterday, that is.  But, as often happens to me when watching a movie for the…

    The Kaufmann House – One of the World’s Most Famous Houses

    ‘ I thought I’d take another break from my wedding blogging today to write about a location that has occupied a spot at the very top of my “To-Stalk” list for over two years now, but had, for whatever reason, eluded me up until this past weekend when the Grim Cheaper and I headed to…

  • Sarah’s House from “The Craft”

    Sarah’s House from “The Craft”

    ‘ Another day, another request – this one also from my friends Lavonna and Katie regarding The Craft.  (You can read yesterday’s post about HarborPlace Tower from the movie here).  During a recent group texting session, Katie asked if I knew the location of the home where Sarah Bailey (Robin Tunney) lived with her dad,…

    Happy Veterans Day

    ‘ I would like to extend a very heartfelt thank you today to all who have served this great country of ours, including my grandfather (that’s him above during World War II), my dad, my uncle, my father-in-law, my cousin, my brother-in-law, my grandfather-in-law, and several of my friends.  I hope we all take a…

  • The Westin Bonaventure Hotel & Suites from “True Lies”

    The Westin Bonaventure Hotel & Suites from “True Lies”

    ‘ There is no shortage of unique architecture in Southern California.  The Bradbury Building, LADWP, and the 8500 apartment complex all immediately come to mind as highly individualistic spots.  One structure stands heads and shoulders above the rest, though, as being extra extraordinary – The Westin Bonaventure Hotel & Suites in downtown Los Angeles.  If…

  • Rebecca’s House from “The Roommate”

    Rebecca’s House from “The Roommate”

    ‘ One location that I have been on the lookout for for over a year now is the mansion where Rebecca Evans (Leighton Meester) lived in the 2011 flick The Roommate.  And I should mention here that while I did not particularly like the Single White Female-esque thriller, because my main man, cutie Matt Lanter,…
