    Welcome to New York (2014)

    This is a film by director Abel Ferrara about a powerful Frenchman who lives a life of debauchery until he is arrested for sexually molesting a maid in his New York hotel room. The main character, who is played by Gérard Depardieu, is based on the French politician Dominique Strauss-Kahn who was the Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) at the time of his arrest.

    I enjoyed the film a lot. It depicts a lifestyle that is somewhat alien to me, which makes it rather fascinating. I do have to warn you that it's probably not family viewing as it is quite sexually explicit.

    Nigel.

    Drone warfare is a big deal – well it is for me – even if most of it is conducted out of sight and out of mind of the citizens of the Western nations that are prosecuting the war. This film from director Andrew Niccol explores the dilemma of killing enemy fighters but also killing innocent civilians...
