SUMMARY:FILM NIGHT - Contagion by Steven Soderbergh
DESCRIPTION:\n\nAfter he loses first his midwestern ophthalmology practice 
 to a for-profit medical giant and then his family to a commuter airline tr
 agedy\, Dr. Jack Stapleton's life is transformed to ashes. Feeling less th
 e golden boy than a jaded cynic\, Stapleton retrains in forensic pathology
  and relocates to find an uneasy niche for himself in a city that suits hi
 s changed perspective: the cold\, indifferent\, concrete maze of New York.
 \n\nStapleton thinks he is past pain and past caring\, but as a series of 
 virulent and extremely lethal illnesses - capped by a particularly deadly 
 outbreak of a rare strain of influenza strikes the young\, the old\, and t
 he innocent\, his suspicions are aroused. When the apparent epicenters of 
 these outbreaks are revealed to be hospitals and clinics controlled by the
  same for-profit giant that cannibalized his old ophthalmology practice\, 
 Stapleton fears he has stumbled upon a diabolic conspiracy of catastrophic
  proportions.\n\nGetting at the truth leads to Stapleton's unlikely pairin
 g - both professionally and personally - with Terese Hagen\, an art direct
 or at a hot Madison Avenue advertising firm. Together they discover that t
 he real explanation behind the killer contagion is even more Machiavellian
  than could be imagined.\n\nThe Plan\n\n5.00pm - Meet for a little light f
 ood at Icco which is near to the cinema (see below)\n\n6.30pm - See the ea
