Harvey Weinstein stumps for 'Ides of March'
Posted by Kristopher Tapley · 7:04 am · October 6th, 2011
Harvey Weinstein is the king of Oscar campaigning, and he’s probably not that bad at prognosticating, either. But it’s not one of his own films he’s predicting for Academy glory lately. It’s George Clooney’s “The Ides of March.”

Off the Carpet: Clooney and Pitt lead Best Actor talk, but the real action is elsewhere
Posted by Kristopher Tapley · 8:09 am · September 26th, 2011

Clooney's 'Ides of March' is boiled down essence as high drama
Posted by Kristopher Tapley · 12:51 pm · September 23rd, 2011
“The Ides of March” isn’t acting as if its pulling back a veil. It’s handling, quite matter-of-factly, political corruption and scandal and the back-bitery of the Washington game as simple and plain harsh truth. I didn’t read any of this to be presented as epiphany in the slightest, and indeed, I find it to be one of the most refined films of the year.
