| 12.18.04 | DVR | I haven't seen this in a while and wanted to revisit Kevin Spacey's early performance. It reminded me very much of that book The Hot Zone and that period in which viruses and outbreaks were all the rage. I also remember some interview with the book's author where he basically whined about how the movie version of the hot zone was shelved and outbreak stole all of its best scenes. That reminded me of the last part of the book where the author takes a trip back to the cave where Ebola supposedly spawned forth and felt scared. and wrote about it. the movie is still somewhat bombastic Hollywood fare and more than a little unbelievable, but entertaining nonetheless. |
