Commentary – CONTAGION
Only the virus wouldn't be the killer, that would only start the panic; the killer would be the vaccination or supposed cure.

I arrived for an early dinner today (Sunday) around 4pm and had the place entirely to myself; they seem to do more of a take-out business, although it’s very pricey for take-out. The staff was attentive without being annoying. I sat in the restaurant for over two hours watching a streaming seminar…

Commentary – 50 / 50
Although, it turns out the film delivers more tears from laughter than from sadness, due to Seth Rogen's quick quips, improvisation and juvenile outlook on life in general.
