  • Go Team Nicole!

    Go Team Nicole!

    ‘ My mom called me in a complete tizzy last week screaming at me to immediately turn my TV onto Bravo. It turns out that Nicole, Nick Arrojo’”‘”‘s assistant who worked on my mom’”‘”‘s hair during her appointment with Nick last December, is currently competing on Season 2 of the TV show Shear Genius. Shear…

  • Eric Hamber Secondary School from “Juno”

    Eric Hamber Secondary School from “Juno”

    ‘ The third and final Juno filming location that I stalked while in Vancouver last month was the supposed Minneapolis-area Dancing Elk High School – the learning institution attended by Juno MacGuff (aka Ellen Page), her dorky baby-daddy Paulie Bleeker (aka Michael Cera), and her absolutely hilarious best friend, Leah (aka Olivia Thirlby).  In real…

  • Valentino from “Pretty Woman”

    Valentino from “Pretty Woman”

    ‘ Pretty Woman is one of the most well-documented movies out there when it comes to locations.  Oddly though, despite the legions of websites and books with sections dedicated to its locales, I have yet to see identified the Rodeo Drive shop where Vivian Ward (Julia Roberts) and Edward Lewis (Richard Gere) spent an “obscene…

  • Bradley’s Mom’s House from “The Morning Show”

    Bradley’s Mom’s House from “The Morning Show”

    ‘ The Morning Show really threw me for a loop, location-wise (as I mentioned in this recent post).  Set in NYC, I got through the entire first episode of the new Apple TV+ series thinking it was shot in the Big Apple, as well.  I did have a couple moments of hesitation in that belief…

  • A “Nancy Drew and the Hidden Staircase” Giveaway!

    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…

  • Viola’s Mansion from “Monster-in-Law”

    Viola’s Mansion from “Monster-in-Law”

    ‘ The second Monster-in-Law location that I set my sights on tracking down this past weekend was the gargantuan mansion owned by Viola Fields (aka Jane Fonda) in the flick.  Once again, fellow stalker Nick had done most of the legwork on this one by discerning that the house was located in Pasadena and had…

  • The Upton Sinclair House

    The Upton Sinclair House

    ‘ Last weekend while doing some research on the net, the Grim Cheaper discovered that a home in Monrovia where legendary author/screenwriter/movie producer/politician Upton Sinclair had once lived was currently for sale.  So, while I was in the area visiting my parents this past Friday afternoon, I just had to go stalk it.  For those…

  • The “Kill Bill” Church

    The “Kill Bill” Church

    ‘ One location that my dad and I visited while stalking in the Lancaster and Palmdale areas last week was the Sanctuary Adventist Church which was used prominently in the 2003 and 2004 Quentin Tarantino movies Kill Bill: Volume 1 and Kill Bill: Volume 2.  And although I have never actually seen either of the…

  • Offshore – Liam’s Bar from “90210”

    Offshore – Liam’s Bar from “90210”

    ‘ One of the many locations that Mike, from MovieShotsLA, and I stalked last week while hanging out in the Redondo Beach area – and the one that I was most excited about – was Offshore, the bar owned by Liam Court (cutie Matt Lanter – sigh!) on fave show 90210.  I had been absolutely…

  • The Buhrman House from “Truth Be Told”

    The Buhrman House from “Truth Be Told”

    ‘ I am a firm believer in love at first sight.  I definitely had hearts in my eyes upon catching a glimpse of the stunning Victorian where the Buhrman family lived on Truth Be Told.  The towering Queen Anne, pitched atop a leafy hill, was striking, to say the least, and I promptly set out…
