Clooney Shines in 'The Ides of March'

This week’s movie, The Ides of March, is a political thriller along the lines of the Bill Clinton-Monica Lewinsky saga.

It is playing at GTC Merchants Walk 12 Cinema, GTC Park 12 Cobb and AMC Parkway Pointe 15.

George Clooney directs the film and plays Democratic presidential candidate Mike Morris, while Ryan Gosling has the spotlight as media strategist Stephen Myers.

Also contributing to the strong acting are Philip Seymour Hoffman as Morris’ campaign manager, Paul Giamatti as the opposition’s campaign manager, Marisa Tomei as a New York Times reporter and Evan Rachel Wood as the intern with a secret.

The flick-o-meter gives The Ides of March a solid four out of five. The film has nothing new to say about American electoral politics but is enjoyable.
