...graphic novels have blossomed into a mainstream media, the author Marjane Satrapi became the most unexpected of those successes stories. Her first two books, "Persepolis" and "Persepolis 2," were both critical and commercial successes, defying expectations. Originally written in French, they focused on the author's story of growing up in revolutionary Iran and eventually becoming an expatriate in Europe.

Perhaps because of the barriers that divide them, Malcolm decided, Canadians...
...Hometown, an hour comedy-drama about a group of college friends from the '60s who reunite for some soul searching in the '80s. The resemblance to The Big Chill is impossible to miss: characters reminisce about antiwar rallies and ponder the implications of "getting caught up in the mainstream." Despite its glib predictability, the series boasts a likable cast, headed by Jane Kaczmarek and Daniel Stern, and at least a veneer of seriousness missing from most other summer entries...
