Julius Ceasar was supposedly warned that something bad would happen to him prior to or on

"the Ides of March" -- aka March 15, an ancient Roman term believed to have heralded a new moon and dedicated to the god Mars. Hence William Shakespeare's whole "Beware the Ides of March" line in the play "Julius Ceasar." Turns out it was good, if useless, advice. On March 15, 44 B.C., the Roman ruler was stabbed 23 times in the Roman senate.

In case you don't remember, here's a reasonable facsimile from HBO's awesome, yet sadly gone, drama "Rome":

For George Clooney, however, "Ides of March" -- the movie he's directing and starring in about an "idealistic campaign staffer who gets a crash course on dirty politics" -- will likely bring better fortune in the form of critical acclaim and box office returns.

Does the new Minka Kelly/Leighton Meester thriller “The Roommate” look like “Fatal Attraction” for the college set?

Yes, and there’s nothing wrong with that. In fact, “The Roommate,” in which “Gossip Girl” star Meester plays a college student who becomes obsessed with her roommie (Kelly), promises to be another fine entry in the sub-genre of psychological thrillers we actually think of as the “Pwf” flick: Psycho White Females.

You know ‘em: those crazy movie villainesses who wreak havoc on the men, women and children (and sometimes poor, innocent bunnies) around them, usually on the heels of some brief or imagined love relationship.

In honor of “The Roommate,” we’re counting down our nine favorite PWFs who’ve come before them.
