By Farhang Jahanpour (first published by TFF Associates & Themes Blog) We Are Charlie (cartoon by Touka Neyestani) The Wednesday edition of Charlie Hebdo (a week after the barbaric attack by two deranged terrorists on its premises) carried a cartoon of Prophet Muhammad, with a caption Je Suis Charlie, with a tear drop on his face announcing, all is forgiven. It is not clear who is forgiven and for what, but if it refers to the terrorists it certainly is not appropriate. This time the magazine did not publish only 60,000 copies as it usually does, but three million copies, thanks to the generous help that it has received from various sources and also with the help of cartoonists from all over the world

Shannon Stapleton/Reuters Law enforcement officers turning their backs on a live screen of Mayor Bill de Blasio as he delivered a eulogy for NYPD Officer Rafael Ramos inside Christ Tabernacle Church, Glendale, Queens, December 27, 2014 The killing of two New York City police officers on December 20, 2014, while they sat in their patrol car near a public housing project in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, has riven the city in a primal way that we have not seen since the Crown Heights race riots that pitted blacks against Hasidic Jews in 1991. The murdered officers, chosen at random, were Rafael Ramos, a religiously devout Hispanic, and Wenjian Liu, the son of Chinese immigrants whose father works as a presser in a laundry sweatshop. The murderer, Ismaaiyl Brinsley, a twenty-eight-year-old black man with no known political affiliations, had shot his girlfriend in Baltimore, traveled to New York intent on killing cops, and then finished himself off with the same gun on a nearby subway platform.

Are you ready for another offer you cannot refuse? Set in New York Citys chilly outer boroughs in 1981 and featuring a hero on the fringe of the underworld, a mob-related heroine and a camel-hair coat that should have had its own billing, A Most Violent Year from Margin Call writer-director J.C. Chandor is a worthy attempt to make a Godfather for our times
