   George Clooney's "Ides of March" was the opening night film at the Venice Film Festival. Mixed-to-positive reviews. It's the Friday night (9:30 pm) gala at TIFF.

   Wow, the Guardian excoriates Madonna's W.E. (in a 1/5 star review), while the Telegraph (3/5 stars) says "better than expected." I guess that's what they call "mixed."

   Hollywood Reporter: Madonna's second foray into directing is pleasing to the eyes and ears, but lacking anything for the soul.

   I dunno wtf it is with the telegaph's reviewers putting in major plotpoints in these couple of reviews. Anyhow, beware.

   Overall vibe: Dangerous Method - average, Kill List - excellent.
