The Meiks’s House from “Frailty”
‘ One of my absolute, hands-down, favorite movies of all time is the 2001 thriller Frailty, which just so happens to be actor Bill Paxton’s directorial debut.

‘ A couple of weeks ago, I got on a kick of tracking down locations from fave movie Little Black Book. Now I should mention here, before I go any further, that the 2004 romantic comedy really isn’t all that good. I can’t explain why I love it as much as I do, but I…

The blurb practically had me foaming at the mouth,…
