One thing about great movies that were made back in the day is that they will receive a second, or third life as viewing formats change. The 40th Anniversary of The Exorcist is out on Blu ray DVD, includes a copy for digital download and will impress you even more.

A couple of weeks ago I discovered one of the most promising all ages comics that I’ve seen in a while. Lloyd and the Bear is like Calvin & Hobbes in space. Despite my clunky analogy, it’s original, in brilliant full color, appropriate for all ages and enjoyable for adults.
