Latest on Contagion
The new year is off to a modest start with a few gems that deserved more eyeballs, but mostly middle-of-the-road fare that was forgettable at theaters and should remain so at home. Check out our picks for January 3rd's DVD releases. MOVIEFONE'S PICKS FOR...
If you had some issues with this weekend's box office champ 'Contagion,' you're not alone. Here at Moviefone HQ, the Steven Soderbergh-directed viral disaster thriller was a hot topic of debate; the science is all accurate (probably), but some of the...

Steven Soderbergh film 'Contagion' is a compelling disaster that shows the progress of a deadly virus wreaking havoc worldwide. It starts off with... yneth Paltrow catching the deadly lurgi in Hong Kong and then it spreading in her home town of Minneapolis on her return, leaving husband Matt Damon to pick up the pieces. There were lots of other big Stars from Laurence Fisburne to Jude Law and Kate *************** sort of like a documentary of how things progressed in the lives of different people and shows us how easily it could all happen. I was quick to look at the person in the next row who coughed and was conscious of how many times I touched my face during the show along with a quick trip to the bathroom to wash my hands afterwards. All in all a movie worth seeing. Full Review
