POP CULTURE, movies:
steve harvey's only in l.a. column in the times has apparently mentioned reseda's place in movie lore before. but this one underplays the role.
In ''boogie nights''
reseda-- unmentioned as a shooting locale -- a gross oversight as reseda is virtually a recurring character actor in the movie shot at country club, extensively on sherman way & parking lots surrounding. Here's a review. It earned awards & nominations.
''erin brockovich''
the next highest profile of the town in a movie, establishing shots of the exterior and scene filmed in parking lot of chamber of commerce office bldg on sherman way. Some big kudos.
''severed arm''
bad thriller uses establishing shot of reseda post office
''fast sofa''
crispin glover freaks out in discount bird store
''magnolia''
shot in & around the corner of reseda & sherman way
''karate kid''
tho' they made 4 of them, in no.1 the kid moves from new jersey to reseda, just a mention.
"an american rhapsody"
from an l.a. times feature story:
"In the semiautobiographical 'An American Rhapsody,' Scarlett Johansson plays Gardos' alter ego, Suzanne, at age 15; Nastassja Kinski and Tony Goldwyn play her parents; and Kelly Endresz Banlaki is Suzanne at age 7. The $3.2-million Paramount Classics film was shot in just 31 days in Budapest and Reseda."
It was highly regarded.
''the fluffer''
just a mention, lead's girlfriend works in a reseda strip club (obviously not now) or so it says here
"targets"
this site mentions filming at the drive-in, pic shows marquee referring to boris karloff, just before retiring, playing a retiring horror movie star making an appearance at a drive-in
tho' i can't swear, in ''terminator 2'' in the scene were they flee the northridge mall and go into the wash, i believe that's aliso creek wash they're heading south in, consequently before that awesome dirt bike/semi-truck/harley chase scene proceeds too far, that chase is in reseda. i can't swear tho
we've cinematic residents too, more later
