    Bean Town from “Big Little Lies”

    ‘ Big Little Lies sure made use of Sierra Madre this season (in case you missed my other posts on the city’s BLL appearances, you can check them out here, here and here).  And it is not very hard to see why.  The San Gabriel Valley town, situated just east of Pasadena, is charming, picturesque…

  • 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,…

    ‘ A few weeks ago, Miss Britney Spears debuted her new video for the third single off her Circus  album, the controversially titled “If U Seek Amy”.  So, of course, I just had to watch!  I was actually pretty excited about this video, as many critics were proclaiming that the old Britney was finally back.  I was hoping for…

    The Union Theological Seminary Rotunda from “The Ice Storm”

    ‘ Locations have been making impressions on me for ages, long before I even knew stalking was a thing.  Case in point – way back in 1997 while watching The Ice Storm, I became fixated on the ornate stone staircase Libbets Casey (Katie Holmes) walked down in an early scene.  Even though I only saw…
