Movie Review: Contagion

Brief Summary - Initial symptoms include sneezing, coughing and headaches...then you seize, froth and die and in the blink of an eye millions of people are infected... Meanwhile Health officials are scampering around trying to find out why? Viewers get to watch how the Center for Disease Control and the World  Health Organization would attempt to handle such a plague as society falls apart.

Rating - on a scale of 1 to 10 Contagion earned a 5.8

Movie Strengths - Real world appeal, star studded cast, fluid plot, lots of dead people!

Movie Weaknesses - The wrong characters died and sadly all the annoying ones lived.

Final Thoughts -This movie is okay... it adopts a more serious tone than it predecessors "28 days later, 28 weeks later, Zombieland, Resident Evil etc."These movie ALL  share a common theme -  global demise at the hands of an unknown, highly contagious, fatal disease; and although its not original Contagion minor plot twists are somewhat different.

Movie Review: Colombiana

Brief Summary - If your employed by the Columbian Mafia there's a good chance you and your family will get whacked...Right? Fortunately Cataleya [Zoe Saldana] escapes the wrath of the Cartel long enough to become a 'super assassin' with a thirst for revenge.

Rating - on a scale of 1 to 10 [10 being the highest] Colombian Nikita earned a 4.8 !

Movie Strengths - Ninja Assassin would be proud of Saldana's stunts and the fight sequences.

Movie Weaknesses - the plot had more holes than a strainer!

Final Thoughts -Watch this movie if your in the mood to see ninja stunts performed by a scrawny, scantly clad contract killer!
