    Contagion (film)

    Described as Soderberg's zombie movie - covering a pandemic bird flu outbreak - this look very good...

    The cast looks good, but to see it, I'm going to have to suck it up and not hate on Matt Damon.
    What the heck, was Marky Mark too busy to star in this one?!?!?

    It does look interesting and well cast from what little we've seen.

    You're just jealous of those chompers of his. Perhaps they remind you of chicklets, which you hated as a child?

    Where are the zombies?


    Looks interesting. Though every time I see Jude Law, I want to launch myself across the room and punch him.

    that cracked me up for sure.

    i'm quite interested in this flick because this is something that really could happen and has, in fact, happened in the past - maybe not on the scale depicted in the movie, but history is full of pandemics.
