Finding moviegoers gold and more homes in California
Are you a Movie fan who likes to take vacations interesting? Would not it be fun to make a trip to Southern California to a Movie Filming locations?
California is rich in the history of cinema with many points filming of interest to visitors. If you've never been to Universal City, this is a good place to start. Here you can go behind the scenes and watch sets used repeatedly in movies. After his tour, walking tour universal city with restaurants and shops, if desired, but is a bit expensive.
Without But all over the world visit these sites and you and I are serious fans of cinema and wants something more interesting.
The best place for the film and Western history enthusiasts in the Gene Autry Museum of the witch of the American West is part of the Autry National Center at 4700 Western Heritage Way to Interstate 5, near Griffith Park. Let me tell you people this museum has the most incredible things I've seen. Some exhibitions are film history and many of the exhibits are real life. the true story of Annie Oakley and the actual weapon used to, for example, are you saying, "Hey, this girl was the real deal."
After the museum since already in Griffith Park to take the unit to Griffith Planetarium and see the place where James Dean Rebel Without a Cause. Remember that the school trip and the climax shooting. Studies filmed many movies here in this huge city park. Remember the scene in The Rocketeer when he fights in front of the planetarium of the bells and flies to the dirigible. Other Films offered by the Centre include Steve Martin Hollywood satire Bowfinger, Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle, the spoofy 1987 film Dragnet with Tom Hanks and Dan Aykroyd.
If you like adventure and do not care much about the driving, there are many places scattered throughout famous film about Southern California. These houses, shops and shopping centers like the Puente Hills Mall 1600 Azusa Ave. City of Industry, California, where in 1985, Michael J. Fox as Marty McFly is accidentally sent back to 1955 in a plutonium-powered machine DeLorean "time" invented by slightly mad scientist Christopher Lloyd.
Some places you can find online. Some are no longer there, but have been born again, like the ruins of a demolished steel plant in Fontana, outside San Bernardino 10 east of Los Angeles, where scenes of the Terminator, and future resistance hero John Connor Road were filmed, is now the California Speedway. Here you can see where Lindsay Lohan did The Movie Herbie Fully Loaded and ran the mistake of Volkswagen with a mind of its own in this circuit. Not far in the Lake Arrowhead area is where Lindsay made his first film The Parent Trap. You can drive around the lake (Lake Gregory is not the arrowhead) and discover many scenes the film.
North of Los Angeles on Highway 14 is an area known as Vasquez Rocks Natural Area Park. Hundreds of movies and commercials are done in this area since they started making movies, including Star Trek IV. The inner journey of the planet Vulcan. Vasquez Rocks has been used in hundreds of westerns and movies science fiction. The Flintstones, Bill and Ted's Bogus journey, Mel Brooks Blazing Saddles, and many others also to name. It is unusual in the middle of the desert, but well worth watching. All the people of the Flintstones was built and opened to the public for a while. Just remember that it is a park and then Otherwise shooting, the sets are removed but the crazy rocks are interesting. Take pictures and compare them with the films to be discussed later.
While in the area, you should visit the Shambala Reserve for the film and other animals not far in the 6867 Soledad Canyon Acton. It was started by Actress and conservationist Tippi Hedren which is the beautiful blonde Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds (and 67 other films). Mr. Hitchcock once said, "Tippi Hedren is really remarkable." I did not know how right he was even for different reasons. Tippi has devoted much time and effort to charitable causes. Trust me, have a great time and make sure Tippi leaving a small donation to help feed the big cats.
If you plan a trip in October and you do not mind a walk in the desert, it is possible you want to visit the Film Festival Lone Pine. It is held every year in October. This year the dates are Oct. 6. 7. And 8. Taking place in and around the town of Lone Pine California where filming has continued each year since 1920. And doubles players appear without warning every year. The area is safe Hollywood's favorite movie location for 85 years. About 400 films have scenes shot here. It is a huge wilderness area in the foothills of the Sierra. During the festival, put hundreds of little stands with photos film them in the exact place where they filmed the scene. One of my favorites is the large rocks where Randolph Scott Richard Boone held prisoner in the High T. This is where the westerns of John Wayne made many and indeed, his last public appearance was here in the Great Western Commercial Savings Bank.
You never know what can appear on this event. Sometimes the actors are filming in the area and only appear. I turned to see why my wife was taking pictures and I saw Fred Dryer and Hugh O'Bryan standing by my side. You should see the picture he took of Robert Blake. Because it is not saturated, it is easy to talk to someone famous. I have stood on a street corner and talked with Gregory Peck and John Mitchum, without anyone bothering us. I talked to Robert Blake and saw him and Dale Evans (Yes Dale Evans) sitting at the table. I do not think he cared about language, but she did not say. She told us stories about her and Roy to make films in Lone Pine. Blake complained about how horrible it was to be a child star, but also told some funny stories.
East of Los Angeles near Palm Springs is an old and historic city in western called Pioneertown. Gene Autry and Roy Rogers built the place to make westerns. The old Western-style Salons and shops that were once pillars of movie cowboys were in danger of brush fires this year, but firefighters saved them. They still use the town to The Movies and the last time I checked it was open to the public. It's in the high desert near Palm Springs.
Since we are near Palm Springs guess what? Even the streets here are named after Movie Stars. My son and I a ever sat in a golf course from here to make stupid questions to the stars while playing golf. I thought it was funny when my son Mark asked Don Knots "Who is Don Knots? Don said nothing, only smiled.
PS Do not forget to research locations and events. In the case of most festivals film, it is difficult to get a hotel unless you book months in advance. We stayed a few miles from the town of Big Pine. Do not forget to take pictures and be ready for the best holiday!

The Lover $6.95 Lovely to look at, this story reveals little more than the characters’ nude bodies. Like couples whose only attraction is physical, this has little to offer once it leaves the bedroom. We never learn the interests or inner workings of the lovers in question. They become nothing more than attractive bodies, which makes this little more than a shallow exercise in sexuality. The story is based on the… |
