TODAY IS: National Brutus Day, observed on the Ides of March -- the day on which Julius Caesar was assassinated by his friend Brutus -- to acknowledge that modern life is full of intrigue, plotting, and backstabbing... just like ancient Rome. Tom Cruise's government agent Ethan Hunt learns all about backstabbing in the 1996 action flick MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE, in which villainy, treachery, and betrayal spring from a most unexpected source.
