Paradise Cove
‘ One location I have been wanting to stalk ever since I first moved to L.A. nine years ago – has it really been nine years??? – is Malibu’”‘”‘s Paradise Cove. Countless movies have been filmed at the Cove, but I wanted to stalk it for one reason and one reason only. Back in April of 1999,…

Chez Jacques from “Mannequin”
‘ If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a thousand times – I hate incorrect filming location information! Case in point – while researching Mannequin locales prior to my recent trip to Philadelphia, I came across a mention online that the movie’s restaurant scene was shot at the now defunct Dewey’s Famous on Locust…

Auntie Em’s Kitchen from “L!fe Happens”
‘ I recently re-watched the 2011 romantic comedy L!fe Happens and I have to say that I enjoyed it much more the second time around. One of the locations featured in it – Auntie Em’s Kitchen in Eagle Rock – I had actually recognized during my first viewing. I used to drive by the place…

Cary and Jennifer Grant’s Former House
‘ As I mentioned last month, back on May 28th I attended the Jennifer Grant book signing for Good Stuff, the actress’ newly-penned memoir about her late father, movie star Cary Grant. Well, I finally finished reading the tome last weekend and I can honestly say that it is one of the best books I…

The Former Menendez Family Home

Frank’s Coffee Shop and Restaurant from “Larry Crowne”
‘ A few days before Christmas, while I was wallowing in a horrible head cold, the Grim Cheaper and I sat down to watch the 2011 flick Larry Crowne. Neither of us had very high hopes for the movie as it had received such horrible reviews, but I am very happy to report that we…

Le Borghese Apartments
‘ While Mike, from MovieShotsLA, was cyberstalking the ‘”‘”‘Til There Was You apartment building a few weeks ago, he came across a comment on a website which stated that the very same building from ‘”‘”‘Til There Was You was also used in the 2001 David Lynch thriller Mulholland Dr. Well, after doing a bit more research, Mike and I discovered that information is actually…

Seinfeld’s Apartment
‘ Like most filming locations, the site used as Jerry’”‘”‘s apartment building on the hit TV show Seinfeld, can actually be found in Los Angeles, not Manhattan. It is a nondescript little building that actually does look very reminiscent of New York. I didn’”‘”‘t recognize the building in person, until I looked at it through the viewfinder of my camera, and…

Orange Army-Navy from “That Thing You Do!”
‘ Another day, another That Thing You Do! locale. It is one of my all-time favorite movies, after all! In early December, the Grim Cheaper and I found ourselves in the O.C. and decided to head out to Old Towne Orange to do some Christmas shopping. While perusing the charming streets and boutiques, I was…
