Meet Stuart Little - a mouse like no other. He's heroic and debonair, endearing and polite and has a heart of gold! When the Littles decide to adopt outside their own species, they learn a few big lessons: housework must be done delicately, their cat Snowbell has to watch what he eats, and love is not based on the size of your heart. This charming tale is a story for anyone who has ever had trouble fitting in.
'I adored this book. It's so Geena and so inspiring and such a
wonderful read' Emma Thompson A Times Film and Theatre Book of the
Year 2022 From two-time Academy Award winner and screen icon Geena
Davis, Dying of Politeness is the candid, surprising tale of her
journey from her epically polite childhood to the roles that put
her in the spotlight and gave her the strength to become a
powerhouse in Hollywood. At three years old, Geena announced she
was going to be in movies. Now, with a slew of iconic roles and
awards under her belt, she has surpassed her childhood dream, but
her journey has been one of fits and starts, with a pothole or two
along the way. In this hilarious memoir, Geena regales us with
tales of a career playing everything from an amnesiac assassin to
the parent of a rodent in Stuart Little; a soap star in her
underwear to a housewife turned road warrior in Thelma &
Louise; a baseball phenomenon in A League of Their Own to the first
female President of the United States in Commander in Chief, and
more. She is frank about her eccentric childhood; her many
relationships, including her spontaneous Las Vegas wedding to Jeff
Goldblum; her archery exploits which led her to the Olympic trials;
and how she became a tireless advocate for women and girls,
founding her own institute which engages film and TV creators to
better represent women and actors from diverse backgrounds. Dying
of Politeness is a touching account of one woman's journey to fight
for herself, and ultimately fighting for women all around the
globe.

Five films from the hugely popular sci-fi franchise. In 'The Fly'
(1958), a scientist (David Hedison) is obsessed with developing a
molecular matter transmitter. When he attempts to test the
invention himself, he is unwittingly joined by a companion - a fly
that has sneaked into the transportation pod with him. The
consequences of the experiment soon become clear, as the scientist
begins to take on fly-like characteristics. 'Return of the Fly'
(1959) sees the original scientist's son reconstructing the matter
transporter which turned his father into an insect, with the young
man's experiments leading him down the same insectoid path. In
'Curse of the Fly' (1965) the plot again revolves around the
Delambre family, although this time it is the scientist's grandson,
Henri Delambre (Brian Donlevy), who becomes obsessed with
transporter experiments to the dismay of his two sons, who want to
live normal lives and forget about their grandfather's invention.
Henri's oldest son, Martin (George Baker), marries a young woman
who just escaped from a mental hospital. After Martin's new wife
discovers a closet filled with deranged humans left over from
failed teleportation experiments, the police are called and Henri
attempts to flee using the infamous transporter. 'The Fly' (1986)
is the Oscar-winning remake of the 1958 horror classic. Scientist
Seth Brundle (Jeff Goldblum), experimenting with transmitting
matter uses himself as a guinea-pig, unaware that a fly has got
into the machinery. As he embarks on a relationship with Veronica
Quaife (Geena Davis), the journalist covering his project, his body
slowly begins to take on fly-like characteristics. 'The Fly 2'
(1989) is the sequel to the 1986 movie. Dr Seth Brundle is no more,
but he has left behind a gruesome legacy: the teleportation device
which transformed him into a human fly, and a son, Martin (Matthew
Moore/Harley Cross). Infected with his father's insect metabolism,
Martin's growth is hugely accelerated, and he is soon a fully grown
man (Eric Stoltz). When he discovers the remains of his father's
experiment, Martin decides to pick up where Seth left off.
Samantha Caine (Geena Davis) is a school teacher who can remember
nothing about her life prior to being discovered eight years
previously. When she begins to have flashbacks to her past, she is
helped by detective Mitch Henessey (Samuel L. Jackson) to find out
that she is a former CIA assassin, who was nearly killed when a job
went wrong. Now people in high places want to prevent Sam digging
any deeper into the past, which spells danger for her and Mitch.
The demonic comedy that put acclaimed film director Tim Burton
firmly on the map. The Maitlands (Geena Davis and Alec Baldwin) are
a happy couple who, when killed in a car crash, return as ghosts to
their beloved home to wreak havoc on the ghastly yuppie family who
have moved in. Being novices at haunting, their efforts go
unnoticed by the house's new inhabitants except Goth daughter Lydia
(Winona Ryder), who doesn't mind one bit. At their wit's end, the
ghostly couple call on a despicably disgusting demon named
'Beetlejuice' (Michael Keaton) for help.
Cult horror director David Cronenberg found mainstream success with
this remake of the 1958 horror classic and Chris Walas and Stephan
Dupuis won an Oscar for their make-up effects. Scientist Seth
Brundle (Jeff Goldblum), experimenting with transmitting matter
uses himself as a guinea-pig, unaware that a fly has got into the
machinery. As he embarks on a relationship with Veronica Quaife
(Geena Davis), the journalist covering his project, his body slowly
begins to take on fly-like characteristics.
