    Kent’s House from “Wicked City”

    ‘ I cannot express how disappointed I am that ABC cancelled Wicked City.  I’ll admit that I was not very impressed with the series’ pilot episode, but I think that was mainly due to the fact that it was rather jarring to see Ed Westwick (one of my absolute faves!) portraying a serial killer.  The…

    Retro Dairy Mart from “Say Anything . . . “

    ‘ “That’s L.A. – they worship everything and they value nothing.”  So says Sebastian (Ryan Gosling) while lamenting the closure of a historic jazz club and its subsequent transition into a samba/tapas place in La La Land.  Though I did not like the movie (as mentioned previously), I have to agree with Seb on this…

    ‘ The Grim Cheaper and I watch a LOT of television – something I’ve mentioned many times on this blog.  Somehow we still miss quite a few shows, though, like George Lopez which ran on ABC from 2002 to 2007.  Nonetheless, when a fellow stalker named Jonathan emailed me back in 2016 to let me…

    The Weller Residence from “Castle”

    ‘ What is it about Victorian-style dwellings that lends itself so well to scary movies and television shows with a spooky theme?  I so often find myself blogging about Victorians this time of year.  (There’s the Mills View House from House, the Blankenhorn Lamphear House from Teaching Mrs. Tingle, and the Miller and Harriott House…
