  • Church of the Angels

    Church of the Angels

    ‘ A few weeks ago, my good friend and fellow stalker Kerry, who was a HUGE fan of  the show Knots Landing  during her high school years, set about to locate the church where the characters Joshua and Cathy got married in the Sixth Season episode of the series entitled “For Better, For Worse”.  And it wasn’”‘”‘t…

  • Edith Palmer’s Country Inn

    Edith Palmer’s Country Inn

    ‘ The final Nevada-area location that I stalked while visiting my grandmother in Reno last month was Edith Palmer’s Country Inn in Virginia City – the spot where my girl, Miss Marilyn Monroe, stayed for a short time while filming her last completed movie, 1961’s The Misfits.  I had actually stalked the exterior of the…

  • The L.A. Filming Locations of “Scream 2”

    The L.A. Filming Locations of “Scream 2”

    ‘ “Hello, Sidney.”  Two simple words, spoken by a gravelly-voiced serial killer shrouded by a Father Death mask in one of Scream’s early scenes, and the face of the horror movie genre was changed forever. An empty house and a ringing telephone suddenly had a much more sinister meaning.  Scream, which will be celebrating its…

  • Cicada from “The Morning Show”

    Cicada from “The Morning Show”

    ‘ I don’t know what all the hullabaloo regarding The Morning Show being terrible is about.  The Grim Cheaper and I trepidatiously tuned in earlier this week and, considering all the jeers reviewers are spewing, were shocked at how much we enjoyed the new Apple TV+ series!  We devoured the three episodes that have aired…

  • Bob Hope Patriotic Hall from “Flashdance”

    Bob Hope Patriotic Hall from “Flashdance”

    ‘ Anyone who has ever driven on the I-10 Freeway east of downtown Los Angeles has most likely noticed the A-line, red-roofed building that towers over the skyline to the south.  That building is Bob Hope Patriotic Hall.  I have passed by it hundreds of times and have always wanted to venture inside.  A couple…

  • New “L.A.” Mag Post – About “Tangerine”

    New “L.A.” Mag Post – About “Tangerine”

    ‘ Be sure to read today’s post for L.A.mag.com, about the new movie Tangerine.  My articles typically get published in the late morning/early afternoon hours. ‘

  • 7th Street/Metro Center Station from “Cruel Intentions”

    7th Street/Metro Center Station from “Cruel Intentions”

    ‘ We all have those movie scenes – the ones so dramatic, so full of romance or even so disturbing (like this, for example) that, for better or worse, they remain ingrained in our memories.  Two of my favorites happen to be from the same film and, oddly, it’s a film I don’t even like…

  • Happy Thanksgiving!

    Happy Thanksgiving!

    ‘ I am taking today and the rest of the week off to celebrate Thanksgiving with my family.  My mom and I are in charge of dinner this year (it’s my first time ever!), so I’m sure by the time this post is published, I’ll be knee-deep in turkey preparations.  I hope all of my…

  • The “Easy A” Coffee Shop

    The “Easy A” Coffee Shop

    ‘ Last Friday, while reading the latest post on Emily Schuman’s fabulous Cupcakes and Cashmere blog, in which she mentioned a recent overnight trip she had taken to Ojai, I was reminded of a stalking adventure along Highway 126 that the Grim Cheaper and I had embarked upon almost two full years ago.  We had…

  • Idle Time Books from “A Few Good Men”

    Idle Time Books from “A Few Good Men”

    ‘ There’s pretty much nothing I love more than bookstores.  They run second only to Starbucks and film locations in my book (pun intended).  If I come across a good one, I can get lost amongst the stacks for hours.  So there was no way I was leaving Washington D.C. without checking out Idle Time…
