Popspotting #146: “Ides of March” (Oct. 17, 2011)
After a much-needed week off, we return to “Movie Monday” with “Ides of March.” With a spectacular leading cast and a setup made for the big screen, do we endorse and pledge our delegates to the ticket, or vote it down as mere Oscar bait? payeer مصر
“Ides of March” stars Ryan Gosling, George Clooney, Philip Seymore Hoffman, Evan Rachel Wood, Paul Giamatti, and Marisa Tomei. مواقع بث مباشر
I usually don’t see movies in their opening weekend, however this one had been on my radar for months, so there was no stopping me. Temptations of power blurs the line between politics and morality, and in this movie with each twist and revelation, it was tough for the characters to focus. I too was disappointed in the plot crisis, it was too cliche and left me saying, “Seriously that’s the juiciest crisis in politics?” 🙂
Cliche is right. So much potential! When the ‘big reveal’ came halfway through the film, I admit I spent some time waiting for an imaginary other shoe to drop. I figured that couldn’t be it. But it was.
