Movie Reviews

In an effort to post the reviews in a more timely manner, I've created a simple blog of just my movie reviews. Let's hope I can keep current. Make sure to check Robin's World (thebigfatcat.com) for the complete list.

October Movie #5: Ides of March

Starring: George Clooney, Ryan Gosling, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Paul Giamatti, Evan Rachel Wood, Marisa Tomei
Directed By: George Clooney
Run Time: 1 hr 41 mins

Ides of March is about how virtue gets corrupted by one's career, particularly if it's one in politics.

This is the movie that George Clooney should have been nominated for Best Actor, not The Descendants.  Here he plays against type cast, as someone that you eventually come to loathe (or at least not think he's so charming). Ryan Gosling also should have been nominated because he does a wonderful job playing an eager and earnest guy who quickly learns that in order to succeed, you can't always be the nice guy.
