The Isle of March

THE IDES OF MARCH




The stars in this movie:
Ryan Gosling (Stephen Meyers), George Clooney (Gov. Mike Morris), Philip Seymour Hoffman (Paul Zara), Paul Giamatti (Tom Duffy), Marisa Tomei (Ida Horowicz), Jeffrey Wright (Senator Thompson), Evan Rachel Wood (Molly Stearns), Max Minghella (Ben Harpen), Jennifer Ehle (Cindy Morris), Michael Mantell (Senator Pullman) and Gregory Itzin (Jack Stearns)
,Clooney plays Mike Morris, the Pennsylvania governor in the thick of an Ohio Democratic presidential primary against Sen. Pullman (Michael Mantell). It's press secretary Stephen Meyers (Ryan Gosling) who stands to lose in this campaign. Stephen crucially mistakes the charm-boy governor's blunt talk for idealism. A working conscience is the first thing to go in modern politics. And Stephen finds himself in conflict with Paul Zara (Philip Seymour Hoffman), Mike's campaign manager, and Tom Duffy (Paul Giamatti), the strategist who aims to lure Stephen over to Pullman's team. Sexy intern Molly Stearns (Evan Rachel Wood) is another temptation, especially when Stephen figures out he's not the only one she's screwing. Tom Duffy (Paul Giamatti) shows his real intent when Stephen Meyers goes back to get the job.


I give this movie a 4 out of 5 stars. Just remember like the movie says “don’t screw the interns”.
