Q: I have noticed that Starz has been showing the movie "Tai-Pan" frequently. Why do they not show the sequel, "Noble House"? It is a very good movie as well.

There's an easy answer to this: "Noble House" isn't a movie at all.

The first two books in James Clavell's Asian Saga series were produced as films, albeit more than two decades apart ("King Rat" was released in 1965, while "Tai-Pan" was released in 1986). But the next two books in the series were made as TV miniseries instead. "Shogun" aired in 1980, while "Noble House" aired in 1988.

Q: I was watching "Divorce" with Sarah Jessica Parker on HBO in 2016, but can no longer find the program. Is it coming back on the air, or has it been canceled?

Sarah Jessica Parker's "Sex and the City" character once referred to the "exquisite pain" of being in love. It's a feeling that HBO fans know well: The network makes us fall in love with a show, and then, a few weeks later, it's gone, and we're left wondering what happened.

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them

The wondrous world of Harry Potter returns to the screen in this spinoff film. Newt Scamander (Redmayne), a British wizard and expert on magical creatures, arrives in New York City in 1926 on his way to Arizona to return a beast to its natural habitat. When a magical creature escapes from his briefcase, it causes a mixup with unlucky non-wizard Jacob Kowalski (Fogler), and the situation escalates quickly, with many of the beasts disappearing into the city. Because of the escaped beasts, Newt finds himself in trouble with the local wizarding authorities, but with the help of Kowalski and a disgraced dark wizard hunter named Tina (Waterston) at his side, he sets out to dodge the authorities and recapture the escaped beasts before the magical community becomes exposed to the public at large.
