    Royal Dale Townhouses from “The Ropers”

    ‘ Michael, our resident The Brady Bunch filming locations expert, is back once again with a non-Brady locale.  (You can check out his TBB columns here, here, here and here, and his non-TBB columns here and here).  Today’s location is one from way back when, so enjoy! One summer when I was in middle school,…

  • The Pasadena Playhouse

    The Pasadena Playhouse

    ‘ My boyfriend and I happened to walk past the Pasadena Playhouse this past weekend, and I just had to walk inside to stalk it. 🙂 The Pasadena Playhouse, although not a filming location, is one of the oldest and most distinguished community theatres in the US. The Playhouse has hosted hundreds of notable actors…

  • The “Christmas Vacation” Pool

    The “Christmas Vacation” Pool

    ‘ Another Christmas-themed locale that I had long wanted to track down and stalk was Clark W. Griswold’s (Chevy Chase’s) dream pool from the 1989 classic Christmas Vacation.  (Is it odd, by the way, that I can still remember exactly where I was and who I was with the first time I saw the flick…

    Eagle Rock Plaza from “Glee” and Michael Buble’s “Crazy Love” Photoshoot

    ‘ This past Monday morning, Mike, from MovieShotsLA, called me up to ask if I wanted to do some stalking with him in the San Gabriel Valley.  As it turns out, Monday was a holiday – although I hadn’t realized it beforehand – and Mike had the day off from work.  So, after first loading…

  • The “Shadow of a Doubt” House

    The “Shadow of a Doubt” House

    ‘ Sitting on a quiet corner on an idyllic street in Santa Rosa is a home with quite a scary movie pedigree.  Not only did the Italianate Victorian-style abode appear in a Hitchcock classic, the 1943 thriller Shadow of a Doubt, but in my favorite horror flick of all time, Scream!  (While the residence has…

  • Tad Hamilton’s House

    Tad Hamilton’s House

    ‘   Another day, another Tad Hamilton  location!  Last week while searching for the Sex and the City  honeymoon house I ran across aerial views of a Malibu home that looked very familiar to me (pictured above).  It didn’”‘”‘t take long before I realized the house was used as Tad Hamilton’”‘”‘s ultra-modern white mansion in fave movie Win A Date…

  • The Griffin from “NCIS”

    The Griffin from “NCIS”

    ‘ Today’s location comes with a caveat.  Last Saturday evening while in L.A. for a brief visit, I headed to The Griffin, an Atwater Village bar I had been dying to stalk ever since seeing it in an episode of NCIS almost three years ago.  The place did not disappoint and I started writing this…

  • Huntington Beach Central Library and Cultural Center from “Rosewood”

    Huntington Beach Central Library and Cultural Center from “Rosewood”

    ‘ I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – stalking begets stalking.  While out and about sightseeing filming locales in Orange County last month, the Grim Cheaper and I struck up a conversation with a friendly local couple who informed us that fave show Rosewood (well, it was a fave show until it…

  • Mary’s House from “All About Steve”

    Mary’s House from “All About Steve”

    ‘ If you listened to critics, you probably think All About Steve has no redeeming qualities whatsoever.  You’d be wrong, though.  While the 2009 comedy (and I use the term “comedy” loosely) is not remotely funny, boasts an odd storyline, and fails to properly showcase the talents of its fabulous cast, which includes Bradley Cooper,…
