The Ides of March Seymour Phillip Hoffman George Clooney Ryan Gosling

The Ides of March details the behind-the-scenes turmoil of a political campaign as viewed through the eyes of a young but experienced strategist - with the film inevitably exploring the betrayals and back stabbings that are part and parcel with the political world.

The Incredible Shrinking Man.

Love the classics.

I love Spike Lee's films, but Spike should have left this one alone.

I highly recommend you see Park Chan-wook's version, if you haven't done so already.

The one by Chan-wook is the best film I've seen on revenge (and how revenge serves no one!), bar none. It's one of the most disturbing films I've seen, but it was damn good and stayed with me for weeks.

I thought Spike was too obvious and that lessened the impact for me. I'on't know why Spike remade this ... maybe he had money to burn.

I totally agree! I loved the original but thought most people would be familiar with the latest version. Disturbing, thought provoking, dark, intense and an utterly brilliant story from start to finish. I also wonder why Spike touch this classic film, he was probably trying to appeal to a mass audience, I think he totally ruined ambiance and suspense....especially the ending.
