Mao Tse Tung said: Politics is war without bloodshed. War is politics with bloodshed. Ides of March proves the truth of this. In George Clooney's more recent movies, he has become an acting chameleon moving with the deftness and surefootedness of a mountain goat, winning five Academy Award nominations and one Oscar for Syriana.

Anyone looking for a little further insight into THE IDES OF MARCH, should check out my interview with actor, Max Minghella. In case you aren't sure who that is, he is in this movie, was in The Social Network and is also Anthony Minghella's son. http://blacksheepreviews.blogspot.com/2011/1...iews-max-minghella.html Enjoy!
