Some people appreciate my taste in movies. Then again, some people appreciate Crocs.But trust me when I say you should really see The Ides of March. And I don’t just say it because George Clooney is by far my favorite actor/filmmaker. In this movie, he shoulders the load of acting (what took him so long to play a presidential candidate?), directing (which grows perfectly starker and colder along with the film’s plot) and co-writing (he has a lot of respect for the way conversations are conducted.)
By the way, for all my Republican friends who are shying away from seeing a Clooney political film, don’t worry – this one is all about liberals royally screwing up. It isn’t so much about the democratic process, but how to get elected. See it.
