The Ides of March
_The Ides of March takes place during the frantic last days before a
heavily contested Ohio presidential primary, when an up-and-coming
campaign press secretary (Ryan Gosling) finds himself involved in a
political scandal that threatens to upend his candidate's shot at the
presidency. -- (C) Sony Pictures
Scott's Take - Not Reviewed
A potentially interesting political thriller that continues the hot "Year of Ryan Gosling." Oh and this one stars George Clooney, whose had a pretty great year himself. I plan to see this on Tuesday. The Ides of March got lost in the shuffle for me this year.
Steve's Take
I really wanted to get to see this one when it was in theaters, but it just did not work out for me. I plan on seeing this one at some point this week and will get back to you all with my opinion.

Abduction
_For as long as he can remember, Nathan Harper (Taylor Lautner) has had
the uneasy feeling that he's living someone else's life. When he
stumbles upon an image of himself as a little boy on a missing persons
website, all of Nathan's darkest fears come true: he realizes his
parents are not his own and his life is a lie, carefully fabricated to
hide something more mysterious and dangerous than he could have ever
imagined. Just as he begins to piece together his true identity, Nathan
is targeted by
a team of trained
killers, forcing him on the run with the only person he can trust, his
neighbor, Karen (Lily Collins). Every second counts as Nathan and Karen
race to evade an army of assassins and federal operatives. But as his
opponents close in, Nathan realizes that the only way he'll survive and
solve the mystery of his elusive biological father is to stop running
and take matters into his own hands. -- (C) Lionsgate
