Critical MeMe

Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

The Ides of March (2011)

Held my interest the entire time, but it didn't really seem worth making a movie out of the story.  The "glimpse behind the political scenes" only showed me things I already knew existed.  Manipulation, cover-ups, deals, blackmail -- it's all here and done well, but who cares?  It just felt like a well-done episode of some decent television drama.
