Contagion: Harum, Scarum, and meaningfully art-house bacteria … 


19th January, 2012.

Well …

THAT’S a thing … !

Well …

Actually, it’s possibly several things, including things that actually AREN’T things.

Especially after having seen the VERY entertaining Reign of Fire, the other night: I fancied something a touch slower paced, and managed to bag the 2011, Steven Soderbergh film, Contagion.

And, yes, before you ask: Contagion and Reign of Fire are as different as chalk and cheese*.
