7 Popular Movie and TV Filming Locations to Visit

What is it that makes stories immersive? Is it the plot? The characters? Or is it the setting that gives movies and TV shows that touch of magic?

No matter your answer to the question, you’ll agree that there’s something special about seeing those famous filming locations in real life. And thanks to the fact that traveling nowadays is easier (and more affordable) than ever, your dreams of getting to see King’s Landing from Game of Thrones or the Ben Rose House from Ferris Bueller’s Day Off can finally come true.

So, if you’ve already toured the movie lots and done your online research, here are the most exciting movie and TV filming locations to visit on your next adventure.

King’s Cross Station

Even though you may not have received your Hogwarts acceptance letter (yet), that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try to go and catch the Hogwarts Express.

Between platforms 9 and 10 of this famous 19th-century train station, you’ll find the secret passage to Platform 9¾, where you can take a photo in your house colors. Or, if you’re still shopping for school supplies, visit the gift shop that looks just like Ollivander’s, where you’ll find robes, school jumpers, wands, and additional must-haves like Horcruxes (just in case, right?)

Griffith Observatory

Looking for the perfect date spot? Why not emulate Mia and Sebastian from La La Land and visit the Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles? 

It’s a great place to visit, and you can take your pick of activities — regardless of whether you’d prefer to observe the night sky, explore exhibits, attend a lecture, or get a front-row seat to pose with the Hollywood sign.

Vatican City

Are you more of a culture and history aficionado? In that case, the best movie filming location for you to visit is Vatican City, the setting for the blockbuster hit Angels & Demons.

This UNESCO historical heritage site dates back to Ancient Roman times (the famous Vatican Obelisk was brought from Egypt by Caligula in 40 AD), while the Sistine Chapel, St. Peter’s Basilica, and the Vatican Museums date to the 14th, 15th, and 16th century. 

Vatican City is well worth a visit if you’re a Dan Brown fan, are interested in seeing some of the world’s most impressive Renaissance artworks, or if you simply want to see what one of the world’s most prominent noble families (the Borgias) lived like half a millennium ago.

San Domenico Palace

Are you obsessed with the resort aesthetic (and possibly the juicy drama) featured in season 2 of the White Lotus? In that case, you’ll be happy to hear that you can visit the dreamy resort in Taormina, Sicily.

The San Domenico Palace is a Four Seasons Hotel that may set you back north of $3,000 per night during the high season. Nonetheless, if you’re willing to treat yourself, then it’s absolutely a TV-inspired destination you should consider.

Of course, if you’re on a budget, there are always ways to save a bit of money when booking a holiday. From knowing where to book cheap flights to staying at an Airbnb instead of a luxury hotel, rest assured that you can fulfill all your Italian summer dreams, even if you don’t have those movie-level, endlessly deep pockets.

Angkor Thom

Are you an adventure lover, gamer, or fan of the Tomb Raider franchise? In that case, you’ll definitely want to add a visit to Angkor Thom to your bucket list.

Established in the 12th century as the capital of the Khmer Empire, the Great Angkor City served as the residence of royalty and kingdom officials, featuring multiple temples and impressive statues. Today, the abandoned site has blended in with nature, making for a spectacular movie filming location and an even more breathtaking place to visit on your trip through Southeast Asia.

Matamata

When Peter Jackson started preparing to film the Lord of the Rings trilogy, he knew that creating an out-of-this-world experience would be essential for getting viewers to immerse themselves in Tolkien’s fictional world. And, boy, did he succeed.

When his team designed the Hobbiton movie set in Matamata, New Zealand, they created a location that would not only look breathtaking on screen but which would attract tourists for years to come.

Today, you can tour the set, book a Second Breakfast experience, or even visit during one of the festivals or the Halfling Marathon for a unique opportunity to feel like a Hobbit (or wizard) bound for their next adventure.

Al-Khazneh

Finally, if you’re looking for a once-in-a-lifetime movie-inspired adventure, consider paying a visit to the Al-Khazneh temple in Petra, Jordan. As the setting of the 1989 Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade blockbuster, this UNESCO World Heritage site has been attracting travelers from all around the world.

Historically, the temple was carved and sculpted into the surrounding cliff in the 1st century AD. Unfortunately, it’s in a state of erosion — and not just due to the 2,000 years that have passed since it was built. According to conservationists, the site is experiencing damage due to a large number of tourists and humidity, pointing out just how important sustainable tourism practices are if we want to preserve the world’s wonders for future generations to enjoy.

Final Thoughts

There you have it, our top suggestions for which popular movie and TV filming locations you should visit on your next holiday. 

Whether you prefer to spend your summers on the Continent, want to enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime adventure in Southeast Asia, or are looking for places to visit that are close to home, you’re sure to see some breathtaking sights, have a restful break, and (at least partially) satisfy your wanderlust.

Don’t Worry Darling Wants You To Be Happy- Our Review

Tonight I took myself out on a date. It was the kind of night that I relished in my own autonomy and self-care. Movie night after a long work day. Popcorn and a rum and coke and a seat for one, I proceeded to watch the much anticipated and presumably, overhyped film of the Autumn Season, Don’t Worry Darling. Directed by Olivia Wilde, and screenplay by Kate Silberman.

Set n the 1950s, Alice (Florence Pugh) and Jack (Harry Styles) live in the idealized community of Victory, an experimental company town that houses the men who work on a top-secret project. A Palm Springs Esque town set in the Mad Men era. While the husbands toil away, the wives get to enjoy the beauty, luxury, and debauchery of their seemingly perfect paradise.

We have all read the snippets of actress Florence Pugh and Director Olivia Wilde having a fight on set. And who can forget the Chris Pine meme– did Harry Styles actually spit on Chris? And within the same thread of noise, we have also read “critical acclaim” and “masterpiece”. So is this movie worth seeing??  I really do not want to give away the plot. If you truly feel inclined to get the scoop there are many spoilers out there.

What I am here to do is to say what my title suggests. I loved this film because I do believe that I am in charge of my own happiness. When Olivia Wilde directed this movie, I would imagine it was somewhat of a surreal experience. Because, despite the public perception of her husband being amazing, she left him. And to amplify the decision, even more, she started dating her costar in the film, and ultra-famous younger musician by the name of Harry Styles. While she has since been criticized for abandoning her family for the hot musician, the common thread that this movie has with that decision is the heroine in the film decides that only she is in charge of her own happiness. And that her life is her own. No one gets to decide how happy she is, how blind and naive she gets to be, and also how “Safe”. A powerful word thrown about in this film quite often.

What sets this movie apart from anything that I have seen as of late is that it tries desperately to trick you into grasping the best reality for the characters on screen. So I guess, depending on how cynical you are determines how quickly you become suspicious and begin to see the forest from the trees.

Don’t Worry Darling gives me some Pleasantville feels and some Muholland Drive tingles, but the arc to the story goes much deeper as the modern thread of a permanent vacation is ripe with futuristic thrills that are both tantalizing for some and disturbing for others.

What Don’t Worry Darling should do for you is make you consider your own alternate reality. Would you actually be happier if your “Happiness” were up to someone else? How do you define happiness anyway? And when does love become toxic? Are you willing to own your bad days to revel in your good ones? Or do you just want to dream?

 

 

10 great crime movies to watch right now

The film industry is gradually but surely getting back on its feet after nearly two years of halted productions, delayed releases, and scrapped projects. A variety of new crime films are set to be released in the year ahead, from sequels to literary adaptations to high budget hits to low-key surprises.

In our search for new crime movies, we found a few that we believe are worth keeping an eye on.

Before we start, do you have a reliable TV provider that offers your favorite channels? If not, you need to get one today. Do your research and see which providers are available in your area. If you are worried about blowing out your budget, do not be because there are many amazing yet affordable providers out there. For instance, Spectrum TV is a great option if you are on a budget and cannot compromise on the content. You also have the option to bundle your cable with your phone and internet to save a fortune.

Now, let us begin with the movie list.

1. Ambulance

A modest thriller on Netflix starring Jake Gyllenhaal, The Guilty, came out in 21. The film was a re-creation of a similar (but better) Danish film. This time, the Donnie Darko actor stars in a less diffident and self-possessed remake of another Danish flick, Ambulance, in 2022. Do we know what level of modesty and restraint will be present in this heist thriller? Well, the movie is directed by Michael ‘Crash Bang Wallop’ Bay, who also directed Armageddon.

2. Knives Out 2

Back in 2019, the tongue-in-cheek mystery Knives Out shocked both audiences and critics. Immediately after its release in 2019, a sequel was announced. With another ensemble cast, Daniel Craig proceeds as Benoit Blanc, the idiosyncratic investigator.

Ethan Hawke, Kate Hudson, Kate Bautista, Kathryn Hahn, Leslie Odom Jr, Janelle Monáe, Edward Norton, and Dave Bautista join the lineup this time. Netflix paid $469m for this film and the next sequel, with Craig on the hook for $100m for each of the two films – so expect Netflix to make a big push when the film’s release date approaches.

3. Death on the Nile

The second appearance of Kenneth Branagh as Belgian detective Hercule Poirot has been in the works for two years, but finally is released in February. Murder on the Orient Express from 2017 was not particularly exceptional, but it was cute enough and a great way to spend two hours. Poirot’s follow-up finds him aboard the SS Karnak where – you would never guess it – someone has been murdered. Gal Gadot, Armie Hammer, Annette Bening, Dawn French, Jennifer Saunders, and Russell Brand are among the main suspects.

4. The Gray Man

As part of their massive spending spree, Netflix approved a £200m check for Avengers: End Game directors Joseph and Anthony Russo to make an action thriller, crime/crime thriller, starring some A-listers. CIA operative Ryan Gosling has been deceived by the Agency and is forced to go rogue. Chris Evans, an old colleague and friend, is tasked with tracking him down and taking him out. Ascent to superstardom continues for Ana de Armas in a supporting role.

5. Killers of the Flower Moon

The latest prestige project from Martin Scorsese features Leonardo DiCaprio as well as Robert De Niro. They have collaborated frequently to make a western crime epic that explores the 1920s cover-up surrounding the serial murder of multiple members of the oil-rich Oklahoma-based Osage Nation. This is a non-fiction adaptation of David Grann’s book with the same title.

6. Bullet Train

Based on the book by K*tar* Isaka, this crime to remember story stars Brad Pitt, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Zazie Beetz, Brian Tyree Henry, Bad Bunny, Michael Shannon, Logan Lerman, and Sandra Bullock, among others. On a high-speed train, a group of highly advanced assassins are trying to kill each other and stay alive. The film will be released this summer.

7. Havoc

Netflix looks like it is going to have a great year with yet another major crime/action movie due out in 2022, Gareth Evans’ Havoc. We have high hopes for the action scenes in The Raid, as the film’s Welsh director specializes in set pieces.

It’s Tom Hardy who plays the no-nonsense detective who is on the trail of some very bad men to save the son of a politician. Aside from Whitaker and Olyphant, the cast includes Justin Cornwell, Jessie Mei Li, and Luis Guzmán.

8. See How They Run

With Saoirse Ronan, Ruth Wilson, David Oyelowo, Adrien Brody, Shirley Henderson, Sam Rockwell, and Reece Shearsmith starring, this throwback piece will open in picture houses across the world in 2022.

Taking place in the 1950s West End of London, the setting is enormously evocative. Rockwell and Ronan’s ‘Old Bill’ characters are thrown into a baffling murder mystery in Theatreland. There will be a bumper crop of funny throwback murder mysteries this year, with Knives Out 2 and this.

9. Wash Me in the River

The film stars Robert De Niro, Jack Huston, and John Malkovich, and probably will not be a big release, but it could be a lot of fun. In a fairly straightforward retaliation film, Huston plays an ex-Oxy addict who vows revenge (with a nail gun) on the drug dealers who sold him the drugs that killed his fiancée. We guess that De Niro is the compassionate sheriff on his trail. The US rapper and trap star Quavo plays the head of a drug cartel who may or may not end up with a nail in his skull.

10. Deep Water

Ben Affleck is worried about losing their marriage, so he ignores – and even encourages – the infidelity of his wife. He becomes the prime suspect (understandably) when the men she sees start dying mysteriously. Affleck’s wife Ana de Armas also stars in Deep Water, an adaptation of Patricia Highsmith’s 1957 novel of the same name.

Final Words

Finding the perfect crime movie for movie night can be quite frustrating. That is why we did the research for you and came up with some of the best movies. We hope this article helps you choose a great crime movie to enjoy your weekend with your friends and family.

The World’s a Little Blurry – Billie Eilish’s Rise to Stardom

Billie Eilish, a 19-year-old pop superstar, recently released a movie/documentary called The World’s a Little Blurry. This film documents her life starting from her first hit at age 14 and how her career only skyrocketed from there. She tackles topics like mental health, physical health, relationships, family, and so much more in the 2.5-hour special.

Not only do we see a sneak peek into her life, but the life of teenage stardom as a whole.

Billie was born in California and grew up in an intensely musical household. Both of her parents were musicians, as well as her brother, Finneas, who helps create her music. Her first song, Ocean Eyes, hit the radio in 2016 and the rest of her music soon followed. Since then, she produced a full album in 2019 called When We All Fall Asleep, Where do We Go?, which features hits like Bad Guy, xanny, and i love you. Her music is known around the world and she acts as a role model to fans everywhere.

What does stardom look like for her?

It’s not as glamorous as we think. In the documentary, we see the intense hours, rigorous training, and taxing tours. We see her grow up, get her driver’s license, watch her fall in love, go through a breakup, see how she got injured on tour… Just because she’s a musical sensation, doesn’t mean she hasn’t gone through the typical teenage things.

Coming from someone who is significantly older than her, her story is still incredibly inspiring.

I’ll admit, I even teared up during the movie. Why? We see stardom take a toll on such a young person. It’s sad, it’s frustrating, it’s infuriating, but, in the end, it’s encouraging. We also see how her family has affected who she is both as a person and as a musician. Within the first few minutes, Billie accredits her success to her family. With supportive parents and a creative brother, we see the positive energy she shares with her family.

Family has been an element of her success throughout her whole life and music career, and it shows the importance of a positive family dynamic.

We also see the physical issues that Billie has to face. Born with Tourette’s Syndrome, Billie shows her struggles with that in relation to her career. We see her go through a “tic attack” which is related to the stress and exhaustion that she faces.

Another element of Billie’s story is her relationship and breakup.

In the movie, we’re introduced to Billie’s now ex-boyfriend, Brandon Adams (stage name 7:AMP). Their budding relationship is shown through phone calls and meet-ups behind the scenes and, eventually, the couple separates due to a difference in what they wanted in the long run. Even though breakups are nothing new, it’s hard to see this happen to a young girl who is thrown in the middle of a very evasive lifestyle. It makes us hurt for her even more.

Another powerful thing we see in Billie’s movie is the physical toll that this lifestyle takes on her.

When touring, she goes through multiple injuries, especially torn ligaments in her leg from her contagious energy and dancing on stage. We see her go through physical therapy and braces and casts. But, despite all of that, Billie still brings her energy and wants to give her fans the best performance that she possibly can.

So, what’s next for her?

After multiple Grammy nominations and wins, Billie continues to make music for the pop world and it’s crazy to think that her career is really just getting started. Her new song, Therefore I Am, has hit the radios and is already known worldwide. I have no doubt that we’ll continue to be blown away by her incredible talent for making music and touching lives.

Watch Billie’s movie exclusively on AppleTV+.

College Student Gets An ‘A’ After Turning In Brilliant One-Sentence Movie ‘Essay’

If you’re a college student, you know that the end of the semester is upon us all—which means one thing and one thing only: finals week. Everything comes at us at one time and before we know it, we have 50+ pages worth of essays to write. How are we going to get it done?

Apparently, we should take notes from this one college student who was recently assigned an essay and, decided to turn in a one-sentence essay as her final. And, guess what? She got an ‘A.’

College student Allison Garret was recently assigned a movie review essay by her professor.

Instead of spending hours working on it, Allison decided to focus on a simple yet clever response from one of her favorite films.

@allisonbgarrett

Her essay reads:

“Fight Club
‘The first rule of fight club is: you do not talk about fight club.’
That’s it. That’s the essay”

She proudly submitted it to her professor.

@allisonbgarrett

In the comments of her submission, Allison writes:

“I saw an opportunity and I took it. I cannot say that I am sorry because that would be a lie. Am I proud? Yes.”

Fortunately, her professor had a great sense of humor and awarded the witty student an ‘A.’

The professor wrote back:

“I struggled over this grade for a long time. I finally decided you get a grade for a laugh and how relevant your review is for this particular movie.

Let me warn you: Do NOT try this kind of thing with other professors; they may not have my sense of humor.”

Allison later shared her success story on Twitter.

After her initial tweet went viral, garnering over 165K likes, the college student shared an important cause with commenters.

Allison used her newfound internet fame to shed light on her friend’s mom who is fighting a rare form of cancer. She also linked to the family’s GoFundMe where people can donate to the cause.

Needless to say, Twitter was obsessed with the clever essay.

She does have a point, after all.

Producers Have Explained The Bathtub Scene In ‘Mary Poppins Returns’ And It Left Everyone Shook

In case you missed it, Disney has been recreating classic films from our childhood—both live-action and animated. Recently, the latest film to hit theaters has been the recreation of Mary PoppinsMary Poppins Returns starring Emily Blunt.

Disney

So far, critics have raved about how amazing the new movie is and how Blunt portrays the role perfectly and flawlessly. Aside from her incredible acting, there are many scenes in the movie that have left viewers speechless. In particular, the bathtub scene. During a song and dance number, Blunt disappears under water and, seems to sink right into the tub. But, how do they do it? 

Disney

The first thing that people originally think is, obviously, CGI. Think about it—if they can make dragons blow down an entire ice wall in Game of Thrones, they can make a woman disappear in a bubble bath—right?

But, it turns out, thanks to some behind-the-scenes footage of the movie filming, it turns out that Blunt actually does literally disappear in the bathtub. In the video from BTS, Blunt is seen actually falling into the bathtub.

Disney

And, she goes down a long, dark, technical tunnel.

Disney

People online were mindblown at the technical work done for this film. Honestly, it’s outstanding.

Disney, you’ve done it again.

10 Reasons ‘Mean Girls’ Is An Absolute Sham Of A Cult Classic

For years since its release, high school girls everywhere have worshiped Mean Girls as though Jesus himself brought it down from above and handed it to us on a silver platter. The film, which focuses on the female high school experience, is supposed to be the “unedited” version of how high schools really are–but, in reality, it’s not.

32 Things You Thought While Watching “Gone Girl” For The First Time

SPOILER ALERT: If you haven’t seen or read Gone Girl and don’t want the ending spoiled for you, it’s time to turn back.  Turn back now!

I know I’m not the only person who was disturbed and yet weirdly fascinated by David Fincher’s latest disturbing and weirdly fascinating film.  Late last year, his adaptation of Gillian Flynn’s bestseller, Gone Girl had movie audiences all over the globe silently mouthing “what the fuck” at the totally intriguing drama about a troubled wife going missing and her husband landing himself as the prime suspect.  The story takes the viewer (and main character Nick Dunne) on a rollercoaster ride of suspicion and revelations, culminating in the twist halfway through which reveals that Nick’s wife Amy is totally insane, and she ran away, planning to frame her husband for her murder.

It’s a rare thing when the movie adaptation of a popular book is just as good, if not better than the book itself, but Gone Girl is one of those.

It’s bizarre, unsettling, uncomfortable, and really really interesting.  A first viewing can conjure some very strong reactions.  I bet you thought a lot of these things (or even said them out loud) the first time you saw Gone Girl.

  1. I’m 10 minutes in and I already want to date this Amy chick.
  2. Okay, 20 bucks says Ben Affleck totally killed her.
  3. Has Ben Affleck ever not played a tool in his entire career?
  4. This treasure hunt thing is either the cutest or most annoying idea ever.
  5. If I ever get married, I’m totally going to do a treasure hunt every year.
  6. Holy boobs, Batman!
  7. This Andi chick is the dumbest girl alive.
  8. Wait. Wait. WHAT? SHE’S ALIVE?!

  9. Did I say I wanted to date Amy?  I’ve made a huge mistake.
  10. Um, exactly whose side are we supposed to be on?
  11. If I was running away from my husband, I think I’d at least want to get the hell out of Missouri.
  12. What is Madea doing in this movie?
  13. Carrying all your cash in a fanny pack is just asking for someone to rob you, lady.
  14. Told you.
  15. I can’t decide if this “cool girl” rant is the most feminist or anti-feminist thing I’ve ever heard.
  16. This woman is straight-up ladling pee out of her toilet and into a mason jar.  Nuts.
  17. I have to hand it to her though, Amy thought of everything.
  18. Do you think Nancy Grace declined the opportunity to play herself in this movie?
  19. I’d totally live with that creep Desi in a mansion like that.
  20. Why is his name Desi?  Couldn’t he be Jim or David?
  21. Wait, what is she doing with that wine bottle — oh my lord, this chick is psycho.

  22. Amy, you sly, crafty bitch.
  23. Is that Neil Patrick Harris’ dick?!
  24. Please tell me the cops aren’t going to buy Amy’s story.
  25. Of course, the cops bought Amy’s story.
  26. They just let her leave the hospital covered in blood like that?
  27. Oh my god, this woman is an evil genius!

  28. So wait…who’s going to pay off all that credit card debt she racked up?
  29. Lock the door?  How about run out the door and get the hell away from that crazy woman?
  30. Come on, Ben Affleck.  Just wait for her to have the baby and then run away with it in the middle of the night.
  31. That’s the most unsettling ending I’ve ever seen.
  32. I…I feel like I need a shower.  And five years of therapy.

Lego Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens Teaser Trailer

What’s better than the actual first teaser trailer for “Star Wars: Episode VII” ?

However, depending on what you enjoyed about the trailer, here are some things you might consider equally good or even more enjoyable:

  • Behind-the-scenes footage: If you enjoyed the glimpse into the new characters and aesthetics, you might like behind-the-scenes featurettes or documentaries that show the making of the film. These can offer even more details and insights.
  • Fan-made trailers: Talented fans often create their own trailers for movies or shows. These can be a fun way to see the movie through a different lens or be exposed to creative interpretations.
  • Theatrical release trailer: The actual theatrical trailer for The Force Awakens might offer a more detailed look at the plot, action sequences, and tone of the film compared to the teaser.
  • Experiencing the movie itself: Ultimately, the best way to experience Star Wars: Episode VII might be to watch the full movie! It allows you to fully immerse yourself in the story, characters, and world created by the filmmakers.
Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens is a Lego videogame based on the 2015 Star Wars film of the same name. It allows players to control characters from the film and explore locations throughout the Star Wars universe in a fun, lighthearted way.

A lego re-enactment of the trailer.

One genius YouTuber, Snooperking, made a Lego re-enactment of the trailer, and it might be even better than the original.

Also with legos: A lego animation of comedian Eddie Izzard talking about his idea of the ‘death star canteen’ back in 2007.
