Why are movies made? What motivates a director, a writer or a production company to invest time and money for a film?

I enjoy big blockbuster productions immensely, but it was in these shadows that I found myself watching Cary Joji Fukunaga’s “Beasts of No Nation,” which sounded a much deeper, emotional cord than any mainstream film of recent memory.

Kanye West’s long-gestating, and perhaps still unfinished The Life of Pablo is a beautiful, heartfelt mess. Yeezy is perhaps more aesthetically indulgent than ever, and the conduct is essentially disorderly throughout. Thematically, Ye believes this album to be an unbridled, honest outpouring in service to his followers, detractors and to god. To anyone with an objective bone in their body, maybe it’s best to just sit back and enjoy listening to an eminent madman produce big, novel sounds again.

Is a 147-year-old, 1,300-page Russian novel capable of being successfully translated into a four-part TV miniseries? This sounds like a daunting task, however BBC decided to take the chance and interpret the epic work of Leo Tolstoy’s “War & Peace” through the TV medium.

This past month will perhaps be hailed as the month of many deaths. People lose their battle with life every day all over, many of them famous and beloved. But the rapid succession with which the world bid farewell to iconic people this January was entirely unprecedented. And while I mourned the loss of many of them in solidarity with the world, I shall always remember Alan Rickman the most. His brilliance as an actor is sometimes reduced to the sum of just one character, but what a portrayal it was. I am cognizant of the talent with which he flawlessly executed each new character in a movie, but, I also consciously choose to only remember him as the epitome of all antiheroes, Severus Snape.

Despite the best efforts of the United States and its allies, the Islamic State remains a legitimate threat to the peace and wellbeing of the world.
