Cool! Checking them out now. I'...@ lime_vortep. Cool! Checking them out now. I'm going to hold off on mine until Toronto has officially finished, in case there are any last minute surprises, but will then be back on track with some new ones. <br /><br />Still wondering whether Viola Davis and Keira Knightley will go lead or supporting. (I've heard rumors both ways.) And the one person that I didn't see on your list that I'm still holding out hope for is Michelle Yeoh for The Lady.<br /><br />Great updates!NeverTooEarlyMPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06971628452385566511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1361012654645694959.post-44762412764461242952011-09-17T09:19:53.379-07:002011-09-17T09:19:53.379-07:00Thank you Ryan.

But since I am a blogger who actually lives in San Francisco, I found him very believable. There's a whole different mindset out here sometimes, so my take is that he was not intentionally lying. It's possible that he was always immune, but came down with a different sickness that he assumed was the plague, and that this different illness was actually cured by his holistic treatment.<br /><br />But I think it is more likely Law's expression at the end wasn't surprise, but rather continued disbelief. If you believe, as Law's character does, that the government and the pharmaceutical companies lie about everything, why suddenly believe them at the end? My guess is that he was legitimately sick, that his cure did work (at least for him), and that the powers that be are still involved in a cover-up of this fact, in order to sell the more expensive "cures".NeverTooEarlyMPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06971628452385566511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1361012654645694959.post-69711805435137319952011-09-17T02:43:20.904-07:002011-09-17T02:43:20.904-07:00I have updated my September Oscar predix:

More specifically do you think he was genuinely shocked when the government agents told him he had antibodies to the virus? because I was listening to the slashfilmcast and those guys thought he was lying to the agents...I personally thought they were wrong but I could have missed something during my viewingRyan Fernandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11849610480857698067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1361012654645694959.post-33859262856724371022011-09-16T17:26:57.651-07:002011-09-16T17:26:57.651-07:00Contagion becomes a battle between what it is and ...Contagion becomes a battle between what it is and what it could have been. It satisfies just enough to warrant its existence while frustrating one with its potential. Nice review my man!Dan O.http://www.dtmmr.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
