  • The Canfield-Moreno Estate from “Scream 3”

    The Canfield-Moreno Estate from “Scream 3”

    ‘ One location that I have wanted to stalk for what seems like ages now is the Canfield-Moreno Estate – an absolutely humongous Italianate-style villa that was featured extensively in the 2000 thriller Scream 3.  I first found out about the locale thanks to Mike, from MovieShotsLA, who had stalked it a few years back…

    72 North – The Real Life Emerald City Bar from “Grey’s Anatomy”

    ‘ While Mike, from MovieShotsLA, and I were watching True Blood being filmed in Pasadena last Wednesday night, we got to talking with the owner of The Old Towne Pub about all of the filming that has taken place in the area over the years.  The owner was extremely knowledgeable and clued us in to…

    "He Tied Me to a Chair and Stole My Car!"

    ‘ On Thanksgiving my mom and I did a little stalking in South Pasadena – we aren’”‘”‘t much for football games or the Macy’”‘”‘s Thanksgiving Day parade. 🙂 Anyway, one of the places we stalked was John Voight’”‘”‘s home from the movies National Treasure and National Treasure : Book of Secrets. Mike, from MovieShotsLA ,…

  • The “Beautiful Girls” Houses

    The “Beautiful Girls” Houses

    ‘ As I remarked last week, one of my very favorite films of all time is the 1996 flick Beautiful Girls.  But, being that no one that I’ve mentioned the movie to as of late has ever even heard of it, I’m guessing it was pretty much a sleeper hit, despite its all-star cast.  Nevertheless,…

    New “L.A.” Mag Post – About Robert Kardashian’s Former House

    ‘ My Los Angeles magazine postings are back!  For the time being, until a new full-time editor is found to replace my former editor, I will only be contributing to LAmag.com once or twice a month, for The Culture Files section of the website.  Check out my latest post about Robert Kardashian’s former home, which…

  • Big Red Sun from “Chef”

    Big Red Sun from “Chef”

    ‘ Spoiler alert!  If you have not yet seen Chef (and if not, what’s the hold up?  I told y’all on Friday that it was one of my favorite movies of 2014!), you might not want to read today’s post as I will definitely be spoiling the ending.  Don’t say I didn’t warn you!  Anyhow,…

  • Burlesque Lounge from “Burlesque”

    Burlesque Lounge from “Burlesque”

    ‘ A couple of months ago, I dragged the Grim Cheaper out to see Burlesque and, because of all of the bad reviews the movie was generating, I did not have very high hopes that either of us would enjoy it much.  As it turns out, though, I could NOT have been more wrong!  It…

  • The “Malcolm in the Middle” 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…

  • South Pasadena Public Library from “Say Anything . . . “

    South Pasadena Public Library from “Say Anything . . . “

    ‘ I was incredibly saddened to learn of the passing of John Mahoney last week.  Not only did I love the actor in pretty much every role he played, but his Hollywood story is such an unusual and admirable one.  After graduating from college, Mahoney tried his hand at a few different occupations including teaching…

  • Courteney Cox’s House from “Cougar Town”

    Courteney Cox’s House from “Cougar Town”

    ‘ While on the West Side of L.A. doing some stalking this past weekend, I dragged my fiancé out to see a few of the houses featured on one of my favorite new shows of the fall season, Cougar Town.   Now I know I’ve used the word “favorite” to describe more than one new show…
