Feb 25th, 2008 at 4:20PM: Last week, somewhere, I saw a picture of Harrison Ford with his daughter on a ride at Disneyland.

Disneyland, a place to see stars
Feb 25th, 2008 at 4:20PM: Last week, somewhere, I saw a picture of Harrison Ford with his daughter on a ride at Disneyland. Turns out, according to Marla Matzer Rose who details in an article where to see stars in Los Angeles, Disneyland is a place to keep your eyes open. Here's a shot of Diane Keaton taken two years ago. Interestingly, the only celebrity I've seen in Los Angeles when I've gone there over the years is ...How to visit the locations of last year's most "travel inspiring" films
_thumbnail.jpg)
Jan 13th, 2008 at 3:30PM: We've posted a number of times here on Gadling about the impact of movies as a travel motivator. In other words, which movies portray a sense of place strong enough to make you want to visit? Budget Travel recently came up with their own top ten "travel inspiring" movies released in the last year, with the Bourne Ultimatum coming in at number one thanks to six countries featured in the film and ...Starring Brad Pitt ... and Southern Alberta
Jan 5th, 2008 at 6:35PM: Drive an hour outside of the city limits of my hometown of Calgary, and you're apt to come across some of the most beautiful scenery you've ever seen. From rolling foothill'd prairieland to towering, ragged mountaintops that are so high they block out late-afternoon sun to vibrant desert hoodoos, we seem to have it all (well, except for warm winters and beaches -- I wish.) So it's no surprise that ...Best destination flicks this year
Dec 4th, 2007 at 5:13PM: I rarely see movies, so when I do make the trek to the theatre or the video store, I try to make sure it's a good one; For me, good means well-written, well-acted and somehow intellectually stimulating. I love seeing good films about other places in the world -- they don't need to be travel-related, per se, but I love destination films. So I'm pretty chuffed that someone has come out with a list ...Haunted Tours for Halloween Fun: West Coast Edition
Oct 14th, 2007 at 9:00AM: Want more haunted tour ideas? As promised, we've got some! Hop on your broomstick and fly with us to the western US, where we've uncovered eight more haunted tours to scare you silly this Halloween season: Denver, CO: Morrison is a short distance from downtown Denver, but this Colorado Haunted History Tour sounds like it's worth the trip out of town. Learn about the Hatchet Lady of Red Rocks and ...Hollywood's Craziest Foreign Country Stereotypes
Sep 28th, 2007 at 11:16AM: Stereotyping is the language of hate, ignorance, and comedy. Unfortunately, growing up in America, I had very little international exposure and my early impression of the outside world was sadly constructed of Hollywood stereotypes. It wasn't until I finally left the country in my early 20s that I realized that most Swedes don't look like the Swedish Bikini Team and that Australians don't ...
Long Way Down: Through Europe and Africa by Motorcycle
May 10th, 2007 at 11:15AM: A few years back I happened to stumbled upon a book called Long Way Round, by movie star friends Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman. It was the personal account of their east-bound trip around the world, from London to New York, by motorcycle. I bought the book to give as a gift to my brother who has a passion for both travel and motorcycles -- it seemed like a perfect fit. Before his birthday ...Oscar Tourist's Guide To Eating And Accommodation
Jan 30th, 2007 at 1:05PM: Chances are, you weren't invited to the Oscars this year. But for those of you interested in celebrity watching, it's a great time to visit L.A. If you do plan to visit Tinsel Town, here's a few suggestions that should help maximize your star-studded vacation.
-Keep a camera on you at all times. You never know when you'll bump into someone famous.
-Also, eat and drink like locals -- most film ...Dubai International Film Festival
Dec 5th, 2006 at 9:44PM: While I'm in Persian Gulf I thougt I might as well mention the Dubai International Film Festival (DIFF) taking place December 10-17, 2006. According to their news ticker the red carpet promises some of Hollywood, Bollywood, and the Arab worlds (Arab-wood?) hottest stars from the silver screen right in the flesh. If your interest rests only in the films, trust me when I say the selection is also ...Searching for Hollywood's Real Stars
Oct 22nd, 2006 at 6:54PM: In Los Angeles, the stars are everywhere. They line the pavement on the famous Hollywood Blvd. strip, they sit disguised in overly cramped cafes on Melrose and you can even find them in the eyes of some young hopeful, aspiring actor or actress looking for their chance to appear on the silver screen. However, the hardest place to find stars is straight up in the night sky where you'd expect to see ...Indoor Skydiving with SkyVenture
Jul 27th, 2006 at 2:26PM: Giving my stomach a reason to flip over and inside out or shooting my heart rate up at lightning fast speed isn't necessarily my idea of a grand yee-haw time. So whether it's indoors or outdoors skydiving wouldn't be the first thing I'm signing up for, but if you're a nut when it comes to diving with or without the sky you'll probably dig SkyVentures. To sum it up like the in-the-know bloggers ...Hollywood: Movies in the Graveyard
Jul 21st, 2006 at 11:50AM: Long ago Erik mentioned a cool little place to stalk some of Hollywood's A-list celebs while touring the streets of Los Angeles. Back then I remember being pretty surprised when he directed our attention away from the Star maps to point us to the Hollywood Forever Cemetery, but it makes good sense now though. Known as the Resting Place of Hollywood's Immortals the cemetery also plays hosts to some ...
