  • 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…

  • Barb’s Quickie Grill from “Pretty Woman”

    Barb’s Quickie Grill from “Pretty Woman”

    ‘ Another Pretty Woman location that I spent countless hours trying to track down recently was the tiny café where Vivian Ward (Julia Roberts) and Edward Lewis (Richard Gere) had dinner towards the end of the classic 1990 flick.  And while the name of the establishment – “Barb’s Quickie Grill” – and a street number…

    A “Nancy Drew and the Hidden Staircase” Giveaway!

    ‘ UPDATE – This giveaway has ended.  Congratulations to winner Sandy A.! ***Warner Bros. provided me with a free copy of Nancy Drew and the Hidden Staircase on Blu-ray to facilitate this giveaway.  The opinions I share are my own.*** Nancy Drew and the Hidden Staircase is heading home on Digital March 26, 2019 and…

  • Le Petit Paris from “Little Fires Everywhere”

    Le Petit Paris from “Little Fires Everywhere”

    ‘ Reese Witherspoon is deserving of a major ‘thank you’ from me!  Per the actress’ recent productions, I have been introduced to two fabulous downtown Los Angeles restaurants!  The first, The Wolves, popped up twice on her Apple TV+ series The Morning Show.  And now, via Little Fires Everywhere, I’ve discovered Le Petit Paris, a…

  • Musso and Frank Grill from “Sex and the City”

    Musso and Frank Grill from “Sex and the City”

    ‘ I deserve a facepalm for today’s location!  For ages I had been trying to track down the Los Angeles steakhouse where Miranda Hobbes (Cynthia Nixon) dined with “Letterman Lew” (Sam Seder) in the Season 3 episode of Sex and the City titled “Sex and Another City.”  Because the episode had been filmed over 15…

  • The Shannen Doherty “Badass” Book Signing

    The Shannen Doherty “Badass” Book Signing

    ‘ This past Tuesday night, the Grim Cheaper, fellow stalker Erika, and I all headed out to the Grove Shopping Center in Los Angeles to attend the Shannen Doherty Badass book signing and, as you can probably well imagine, I could NOT have been more excited about it!  As I was telling the GC on…

  • Villapiano’s from “That Thing You Do!”

    Villapiano’s from “That Thing You Do!”

    ‘ One That Thing You Do! location that I had been trying to track down for what seemed like ages was the red-boothed Italian restaurant that stood in for Villapiano’s, the “spaghetti place out by the airport,” in the 1996 flick.  Thankfully, a couple of months ago, fellow stalker Owen, of the When Write Is…

  • The Santa Barbara County Courthouse from “It’s Complicated”

    The Santa Barbara County Courthouse from “It’s Complicated”

    ‘ Two weekends ago, my fiancé and I headed up to Santa Barbara to spend the Fourth of July holiday with some friends.  And just minutes before we left, fellow stalker Kerry texted me to let me know that the 2009 romantic comedy It’s Complicated had been filmed in the area, just in case I…

  • The Hartunian House from “Alpha Dog”

    The Hartunian House from “Alpha Dog”

    ‘ Another Palm-Springs-area locale that fellow stalker/location scout Scott Trimble, of the STS Locations website, helped me to find recently was the residence where Frankie Ballenbacher’s (aka Justin Timberlake’s) good friend/”Witness #11”, Susan Hartunian (aka Dominique Swain), lived with her utterly clueless and apathetic mother, Tiffany Hartunian (aka ER’s Alex Kingston), in the 2006 movie…

  • The Real Life “The Simpsons” House

    The Real Life “The Simpsons” House

    ‘ Did you know that there is a real The Simpsons house?  Neither did I.  For my birthday earlier this month, I told the Grim Cheaper that all I wanted to do was spend a couple of days at the Westin Lake Las Vegas Resort & Spa (which I blogged about here) in Henderson, Nevada. …
