  • The Federal from “Four Christmases”

    The Federal from “Four Christmases”

    ‘ I tracked down today’s locale thanks to some very insider information.  Back on December 19th, 2012, I wrote about the San Francisco pad that portrayed Brad (Vince Vaughn) and Kate’s (Reese Witherspoon) residence in Four Christmases.  Just a few hours after hitting “publish,” I received an email from the production designer of the 2008…

  • The St. Regis Hotel

    The St. Regis Hotel

    ‘ Last year while visiting Manhattan, I dragged my boyfriend out to the posh St. Regis New York hotel on 55th Street.  I had wanted to see the St. Regis not so much because it is an oft-used filming location, but because my girl Marilyn Monroe stayed there back in 1954 while on location in…

  • Homer’s House from “The Day of the Locust”

    Homer’s House from “The Day of the Locust”

    ‘ Today’s locale is an oldie but goodie.  Way back in October 2010, while in Eagle Rock stalking with Mike, from MovieShotsLA, we passed by a residence at 4911 College View Avenue and Mike informed me that it was featured in The Day of the Locust.  At the time I had never heard of the…

    Taking the Day Off

    ‘ I do not have a new blog to post for today as I spent all day yesterday in the South Bay doing some stalking with Mike, from MovieShotsLA, but I do promise to be back tomorrow with a whole new location.  So until that time . . . Happy Stalking! ‘

  • Jonathan’s Apartment from “Mannequin”

    Jonathan’s Apartment from “Mannequin”

    ‘ I wanted to go to Philadelphia for one reason and one reason only – to stalk Mannequin locations.  The 1987 comedy is one of my all-time favorites.  I loved it as a kid and love it even more today.  It has pretty much everything I could ever want in a film.  A mannequin that…

  • The Infamous Solar Drive Mansion

    The Infamous Solar Drive Mansion

    ‘ Shortly before Halloween, my good friend Nat sent me a link to an article on the TopTenRealEstateDeals website (an article that I now maddeningly cannot find anywhere online) about the top ten haunted houses then for sale in the U.S.  My interest was immediately piqued at one of the properties featured when I read…

  • New York Public Library

    New York Public Library

    ‘ Finally saw on Sunday! I literally could not sit still in my theatre seat until the movie began I was so excited!! I must say the movie was not as good as I hoped it would be. 🙁 There were parts I absolutely LOVED and times when I felt like I was visiting with…

    The Filming Locations of “Big Little Lies” Season 2 – “The Bad Mother”

  • The Hyatt Regency Valencia from “Twilight”

    The Hyatt Regency Valencia from “Twilight”

    ‘ The other Los Angeles area filming location from Twilight that I mentioned in last Wednesday’s post is the Hyatt Regency Valencia Hotel.  In Twilight, the Hyatt stood in for the Phoenix area hostelry where Bella (aka Kristen Stewart), Alice (aka Ashley Greene), and Jasper (aka Jackson Rathbone) hid out while on the run from…

  • The “L.A. Confidential” Christmas Eve Pot Bust House

    The “L.A. Confidential” Christmas Eve Pot Bust House

    ‘ Some might not consider the subject of today’s post a Christmas location.  It’s certainly not from a holiday flick, that’s for sure.  But the scene that was shot there took place on Christmas Eve, so I figured it was fair game.  For those who do not recognize the pad pictured above, it was at…
