Filled with laugh-out-loud hilarious text and cartoons, the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series follows Greg Heffley as he records the daily trials and triumphs of friendship, family life and middle school where undersized weaklings have to share the hallways with kids who are taller, meaner and already shaving! On top of all that, Greg must be careful to avoid the dreaded CHEESE TOUCH!
The first book in the series was published in 2007 and became instantly popular for its relatable humor. Today, more than 300 million copies have been sold around the world!
Released in 1974, Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore is a landmark of New Hollywood cinema, blending 1950s-style melodrama with the gritty, naturalistic realism of the 1970s. While today it is often noted as a rare "soft" entry in Martin Scorsese’s filmography, the project was actually spearheaded by its lead actress, Ellen Burstyn, who sought a young, exciting director to bring a modern woman's perspective to the screen.
The film follows Alice Hyatt (Ellen Burstyn), a woman living in Socorro, New Mexico, who is suddenly widowed when her husband is killed in a traffic accident. Faced with newfound independence and financial struggles, Alice decides to sell her home and travel across the Southwestern United States with her precocious preteen son, Tommy (Alfred Lutter).
Her goal is to return to Monterey, California—the only place she remembers being happy—to pursue her childhood dream of being a professional singer. However, life on the road forces her into a series of compromises, leading her to take a job as a waitress at Mel and Ruby’s Cafe in Tucson, Arizona. Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore - Rotten Tomatoes
