  • The “Pretty Woman” Party House

    The “Pretty Woman” Party House

    ‘ Over the past few weeks, fellow stalker Mike, from MovieShotsLA, and I have been on an extensive hunt for several unfound locations from the 1990 classic romantic comedy Pretty Woman. And the locale that I was most interested in tracking down, you ask?  Why, the huge, modern-style abode where Edward Lewis (Richard Gere) attended…

  • The Sharper Image from “When Harry Met Sally”

    The Sharper Image from “When Harry Met Sally”

    ‘ Movies don’t typically surprise me, as far as locations go.  But When Harry Met Sally has me absolutely shocked as of late!  Ever since first seeing the romcom when it debuted back in 1989, I had been under the impression that it was lensed entirely in New York.  The city is so woven into…

  • Another Long Day in the Hospital

    Another Long Day in the Hospital

    ‘ I am sorry to say that I don’t have a new blog to post for today as I spent about 12 hours in the hospital yesterday with my dad (his surgery lasted far longer than expected) and didn’t have time to write one.  🙁  But the good news is that my dad is doing…

  • The “Clueless” Mall

    The “Clueless” Mall

    ‘ As evidenced by yesterday’s post, I have been on a major Clueless filming locations kick as of late.  One spot about which much conflicting information has been reported online is the mall (or malls) that appeared in the 1995 flick.  Some sites stipulate Westside Pavilion in Rancho Park was used, some surmise the Beverly…

  • John Adams Middle School from “Heathers”

    John Adams Middle School from “Heathers”

    ‘ The Grim Cheaper is a celebrity magnet.  Literally everywhere he goes, he runs into someone famous.  It’s maddening because 90% of these encounters occur when I am not with him.  Like the time he stopped by a Starbucks while on his way to a business meeting and saw Keanu Reeves sitting outside.  Or the…

  • The “WarGames” 7-Eleven

    The “WarGames” 7-Eleven

    ‘ I am not a spontaneous person by nature.  I much prefer planning things out, especially when it comes to vacations.  Typically when going on a trip, I investigate any and all filming that has been done in the area we are heading to.  As I mentioned in Monday’s post, though, our Big Bear Lake…

  • Starfleet Academy from “Star Trek”

    Starfleet Academy from “Star Trek”

    ‘ Be sure to check out my latest post for L.A.mag.com about the Donald C. Tillman Water Reclamation Plant, aka Starfleet Academy from Star Trek.  My articles typically get published in the late morning/early afternoon hours. ‘

  • The “Little Miss Sunshine” Restaurant

    The “Little Miss Sunshine” Restaurant

    ‘ As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, while doing research on the former Abiquiu eatery (now Wokcano) from Get Shorty (which I blogged about here), I came across a Chowhound message board on which a commenter named Kevin stated that Pann’s restaurant in Ladera Heights was the spot where the Hoover clan –  Olive (Abigail…

  • Lindsay’s Big Adventure

    Lindsay’s Big Adventure

    ‘ The idea of watching a movie outdoors at night in an LA cemetery might at first seem a little odd to some. And I must admit, it did at first to me, too. But that’”‘”‘s exactly what I did this past Saturday night for a screening of Pee Wee’”‘”‘s Big Adventure at the Hollywood…

  • Mansion Bel Aire

    Mansion Bel Aire

    ‘ A few weeks ago, while searching for the Fresh Prince of Bel Air house, fellow stalker Kerry told me about a mansion in Glendale that she calls the “Tara House” that she thought might be the home used in Fresh Prince. So, of course I had to run right out to stalk it. It…
