The Ides Of March is a nimble adaptation of Beau Willimon’s stage play Farragut North, about the ideological deflowering of a campaign strategist (Ryan Gosling) as he ushers a hopey-changey Democratic governor (Clooney) through the Ohio presidential primary.
The plot’s a Mamet-y mixture of betrayal, disillusionment and high-stakes brinksmanship, but it’s performed by a cast working at peak efficiency. Clooney, Gosling, Paul Giamatti, Marisa Tomei, Evan Rachel Wood and Philip Seymour Hoffman are so good, and so good together, that I didn’t mind being a step ahead of their characters throughout the entire running time.

The ByTowne doesn't have a parking lot of its own, but denizens of downtown can usually find street parking close by fairly easily.
This web site is very useful, but the hard copy of the ByTowne guide still has its merits. People rely on it and love it. Plus, its calendar pages can be pulled out and posted on your fridge door, something that we still can't achieve with the web site.
