Here's the first serious would-be contender of the season for Oscar nominations, "The Ides of March." And it's a solid base hit, but not anywhere near out of the park. This drama — directed and co-written by, in addition to starring, George Clooney — is a well-intentioned cautionary tale about the corrupting nature of modern electoral politics. It's splendidly acted, with a top-notch cast that, in addition to Clooney, includes Ryan Gosling, Paul Giamatti, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Marisa Tomei — Academy Award winners or nominees all.
