Beth (Gywneth Paltrow) has returned to her home in
Minneapolis after a business trip in Hong Kong, feeling a little jet-lagged.
However, Beth begins to have seizures and her husband Mitch (Matt Damon) rushes
her to the hospital in a futile attempt to save her life. Beth is one of
several people who have caught a deadly virus, the beginnings of an epidemic
which spreads throughout the world. A group of scientists from the CDC and WHO
are racing to find the source of the disease, with Dr. Mears (Kate Winslet)
heading to Minneapolis and Dr. Orantes (Marion Cotillard) to Hong Kong.
Meanwhile at the CDC, Dr. Cheever (Laurence Fishburne) tasks Dr Hextall
(Jennifer Ehle) to find out what the virus is and to begin work on a vaccine
before the world population is decimated drastically.

Side Effects (2013): ****
Emily Taylor (Rooney Mara) has been feeling anxious and
depressed; the return of her incarcerated husband Martin (Channing Tatum) and
general upheaval in her life hasn’t been helping. Emily turns to psychiatrist
Dr Jonathan Banks (Jude Law) for help after a suicide attempt, Dr Banks
prescribes Emily medication but to no avail. After consulting with Emily’s
previous psychiatrist Dr Seibert (Catherine Zeta-Jones), Dr Banks gives Emily a
new drug called Ablixa to try. At first, it appears to be working but an
incident occurs which flings Emily and Dr Banks into a nightmarish situation.
