    The Wormwood Home from “Matilda”

    ‘ Every time I open up Instagram lately I’m inundated with videos of the so-called “Matilda Challenge.”  For those whose feeds haven’t been flooded by the clips, in the challenge fans of the 1996 film re-create this scene in which Matilda Wormwood (Mara Wilson) perfects her magic powers.  Though I’ve never seen the movie (or…

  • Jackie Robinson Stadium from “Never Been Kissed”

    Jackie Robinson Stadium from “Never Been Kissed”

    ‘ One location that I attempted to stalk far more times than I actually care to admit is the supposed Chicago, Illinois-area Municipal Stadium where Sam Coulson (aka Michael Vartan) kissed Josie Geller (aka Drew Barrymore) for the very first time during the final scene of fave movie Never Been Kissed.  Fellow stalker Owen had…

  • Terry’s Apartment from “Jumpin’ Jack Flash”

    Terry’s Apartment from “Jumpin’ Jack Flash”

    ‘ I’ve made no secret over the years of my love for Jumpin’ Jack Flash.  (You can read the posts I’ve done on the 1986 comedy’s locations here, here, here, and here.)  Whoopi Goldberg is literally perfection in her role as zany New York bank employee Terry Dolittle and I pretty much go around quoting…

    Angela Bennett’s House from “The Net”

    ‘ Two weekends ago, while Mike, from MovieShotsLA, and I were driving around looking for a parking place in Venice Beach (NEVER an easy task!), we passed by the dwelling pictured above and he announced, “That’s the house where Sandra Bullock lived in The Net.”  Well, as you can imagine, I was absolutely bowled over…

  • Vibiana

    Vibiana

    ‘ A couple of weeks ago, while spending the weekend at the Hilton Checkers Hotel, I stumbled upon a filming location I had been meaning to stalk for quite some time – a former cathedral named Vibiana located in Downtown Los Angeles.   While walking back to the hotel after grabbing a Starbucks :), I saw what looked like a wedding being set up…

    The Never Been Kissed House

    ‘ Last weekend, thanks to fellow stalker Chas, I was able to stalk a location I’”‘”‘ve been on the lookout for for quite some time – Drew Barrymore‘”‘”‘s childhood home from fave romantic comedy Never Been Kissed.   Chas is quite the master stalker, so last week I enlisted his help in finding this location and, lo and…

  • The Poise Magazine Office from “13 Going On 30”

    The Poise Magazine Office from “13 Going On 30”

    ‘ First, let me just say how happy I am that Britney apparently survived Starbucks three hour closure today! It’”‘”‘s truly a minor miracle!! Anyway, on with the post . . . This past December while on vacation in New York, I happened to walk by a building that I immediately recognized as the “Poise”…

    Alicia Silverstone’s “The Kind Diet” Book Signing

    ‘ This past Wednesday night I dragged the Grim Cheaper out to my favorite local bookstore, Vroman’s (which coincidentally just appeared in the most recent episode of Modern Family, but more on that later), to attend the book signing and discussion for Alicia Silverstone’s new lifestyle tome The Kind Diet: A Simple Guide to Feeling…

  • The Dakota

    The Dakota

    ‘ Today is the 28th anniversay of John Lennon’”‘”‘s death, so I thought I would devote today’”‘”‘s blog to him. I have never really been much into music (my idea of a music icon is Britney Spears, if that tells you anything!) so I was never a fan of John Lennon or the Beatles. My…

    Taking the Week Off!

    ‘ I will be taking a break from blogging this week as I will be visiting my grandmother in Reno, Nevada until Friday afternoon.  And while I will not be posting any new locations for the next five days, I will definitely be stalking them!  I packed my copy of The Misfits, which was primarily…
