According to the Daily Mail, Mel Gibson’s house in Greenwich, Connecticut, just won’t sell (oh, boy, do I really want to do another post about a Greenwich house after the last one caused so much trouble?). It’s been on the market since 2007, when the price was set at $39.5 million. Two years later, it [...]
Welcome to another Movie Monday, when I feature our favorite onscreen houses. Who could forget Meg Ryan’s charming brownstone from the 1998 film “You’ve Got Mail”? It was definitely one of the highlights of this romantic comedy for me, along with her character’s equally charming children’s bookstore. This movie was a chance to reunite Tom [...]
Last week I featured Steve Martin’s traditional white house from “Father of the Bride,” and I thought it would be fun to take a look at the house again today from the sequel, “Father of the Bride Part II.” In this movie, the camera spent more time lavishing attention on the house and giving [...]
Jon and Kate Gosselin have had their hands full lately–not just with those cute kids of theirs, but with their marital troubles (they just celebrated their 10-year anniversary, but not together), an investigation into whether TLC is violating child labor laws by filming at their house, and even some allegations of pet abuse. Then I [...]
Welcome to Movie Monday, when I feature the houses from our favorite movies and TV shows. Father’s Day is coming up this month (in the U.S., at least–do other countries celebrate it next weekend, too?), so what could be more appropriate than showing the house from 1991 movie “Father of the Bride” with Steve Martin [...]
Welcome to Movie Monday, when I post photos of the houses from our favorite films. Today I’m featuring Housesitter, a romantic comedy with Steve Martin and Goldie Hawn that came out in 1992 and has remained one of my favorites ever since. Even though I have watched this movie more times than I can count, [...]
Actor Nicolas Cage is known for his love of real estate. He always seems to be buying and selling something, somewhere. Take this Garden District mansion, for example, that he renovated and is now selling for $3.45 million in New Orleans. It’s huge–13,176 square feet–with 6 bedrooms and 5 baths.

Welcome to Movie Mondays, a weekly series that takes a closer look at our favorite houses from film and television. Last week I had lots of people visiting my site, looking for “the house for sale from Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.” I assumed it was the house Ferris lived in, but it turns out it [...]
So. I was determined not to read Twilight last year when everyone was going on and on about it. I’m not really into Young Adult novels or vampires. The whole premise of vampires in high school sounded, to be honest, a little ridiculous. Finally, after being told for the umpteenth time that I just HAD [...]
Welcome to Movie Mondays, a weekly series that takes a closer look at our favorite houses from film and television. The 2005 romantic comedy “Must Love Dogs” with Diane Lane and John Cusack is a movie that several of you have requested that I feature. The film itself may have been kind of forgettable, but [...]
