The Ides of March

Interesting and easy to watch if you're interested in Politics. Directed by George Clooney and with a cast  cast that includes Ryan Gosling, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Paul Giamatti, Evan Rachel Wood, Marisa Tomei and Jeffrey Wright, "The Ides of March" did not disappoint, at least not me.

The Shop Around the Corner

This romantic comedy is based on a manuscript written by Nora Ephron (director, producer and author of the screenplay with her sister, Delia Ephron), the film is an updating of the Ernst Lubitsch "The Shop Around the Corner" to the Internet Age, starring Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks and  following the squabbling and romance of two competing book retailers on Manhattan's Upper West Side, the movie is a must see.  It was a great option for a Monday evening.
