Movie Pick of the Week:

Contagion (2011)

Contagion, the disaster-thriller directed by Steven Soderbergh, is an enthralling movie that follows the growing chaos as a new virus runs rampant across the globe. The movie starts on Day 2 following the start of the soon-to-be epidemic. The story is told from the viewpoint of several characters: a grieving father, members of the CDC and World Health Organization, and a blogger. As the virus begins to spread, society devolves to fear and later chaos as scientists race to find a vaccine. This movie is worth seeing for the fascinating portrayal of a society that teeters on the edge as an uncertain future faces them.
