Opens Friday, May 19: Diary of a
Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul is the
fourth installment in the Diary series.
It takes place a year after the events
in the third film, but the principal
cast has been replaced. Newcomer
Jason Ian Drucker, 11, stars as
Greg Heffley, replacing Zachary
Gordon, now 19. Alicia Silverstone,
40, plays Greg’s mom. Long Haul
finds Greg and his brother convinc-
ing their family to go on a road trip
for their grandma’s 90th birthday
— but they actually intend to go to a
video convention.
Drucker was born and grew up
in Hollywood, Fla. His father is an
anesthesiologist and his mother is a
fitness instructor. They belong to a
local synagogue.
Opening last week was the
documentary Jeremiah Tower: The
Last Magnificent. Tower is a world-
famous chef who trained, in the early
’70s, under chef/owner Alice Waters
at Chez Panisse, the California
restaurant credited with creating
“California Cuisine” — a cooking
style that ultimately influenced all
American cuisine. Tower was Waters’
right-hand man, but a dispute led
him to start his own restaurant,
Stars, in San Francisco and there he
became a superstar and one of the
first celebrity chefs. Many famous
chefs, now better known than Tower,
trained under him, including Mario
Batali (whose wife is Jewish and
attended U-M).
The film explores a complex
man who has led an adventurous
life on several continents. Those
interviewed include chef Jonathan
Waxman, 69, who worked with
Tower at Chez Panisse; Mario Batali;
Ruth Reichl, 71, the former New
York Times restaurant critic and edi-
tor of the now-shuttered Gourmet
magazine whose known Tower since
the ’70s; and Anthony Bourdain,
60, who is the executive producer of
this film.

Iliza Shlesinger, 34, is a hip,
feminist comedian in the Amy
Schumer-mode. She’s not as funny
as Schumer; still, her new six-
episode talk show, Iliza and the
Truth, is better than most stuff on
a basic cable station. It began on
May 2 on the Freeform Channel
(formerly ABC Family) and new epi-
sodes air Tuesdays at 10 p.m. (All

episodes are free on Freeform site
and through Roku, etc.) In the pre-
miere episode, Shlesinger did a few
stand-up funnies before a small live
studio audience and then did some
amusing commentary behind a desk.
Finally, she interviewed her friend
Mayim Bialik, 42, about Bialik’s new
book, Girling Up: How to Be Strong,
Smart and Spectacular (more about
that next week). Shlesinger grew up
in Dallas, where she was active in
the Reform community: bat mitzvah,
a trip to Israel and a year in BBYO
(the B’nai Brith youth leadership
organization).
The HBO original film Wizard of
Lies, about Wall St. crook Bernard
Madoff, now 79, premieres on
Saturday, May 19. Robert DeNiro
