Michael Corleone of Politics
I saw The Ides of March today, and loved it. I’ll give it a 4/5.
I really don’t understand the critics who gave this film an average rating. Most of the criticism that I have seen about this film has revolved around the fact that you don’t learn anything new about politics.

How much of a contender is Christian Bale?
Christian Bale stars in The Flowers of War, a film about the Rape of Nanking.

Best Actor race
As I see it, this is how the race is panning out right now
1. Gary Oldman - the leader. He is long overdue and his performance in Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy looks sensational. He’s doing all those things that we know him for. Loud and nuanced physical behavior, except he scales it down to the tiniest gestures. The man is absolutely genius.
2. Michael Fassbender - runner up. His...
