I'm in the mood to see a movie tonight. What can you recommend?
Sounds like fun! There's quite a few movies playing right now in theaters - what kind of movie are you in the mood for?
Well, I love horror movies because they get so crazy and creative - was IT: Chapter 2 supposed to be any good?
Well, it's only at a 63% on Rotten Tomatoes, and I hear it's a lot like the first one - you might find it kind of boring. What about something with an anti-hero, like Joker?
I've heard a lot of people mention that movie, but to be honest, just from the previews I don't like the character very much.
Good point - he does seem like you either love him or hate him. What about something spooky but fun? There's several good animated movies out right now with a horror flavor.
Good idea! I love how inventive and creative those movies get, especially with how beautiful the art is.
Well, you can choose between The Addams Family or Abominable, which are both playing now.
It's not exactly what I had in mind, but Abominable does look very cute and heartwarming. What do you think?
Based on the movies we've already talked about, out of the two, I'd personally recommend The Addams Family for you, since you like that creepy aspect. And the Addams family can be surprisingly heartwarming too.
I have to say, none of these suggestions are really catching my eye - I want a story that I can really get into, that won't have me glancing at my watch the whole time.
What about going in a completely different direction with sci-fi movies? There's a lot of overlap there with horror too, so that might be perfect for you.
I heard Ad Astra was okay, but it seems kind of slow - does anything really happen during the movie?
I don't want to spoil anything for you, but based on the reviews, it looks like it's got a great compelling mystery at the center as they go through space.
Hm, I don't know - does it have a good ending? I love mysteries, but only if they can sustain it all the way to the end.
Well, I don't want to spoil anything for you, but based on the reviews, I think you'll be decently satisfied - it's got an 87% on Rotten Tomatoes.
These are all great suggestions! I really liked hanging out with the characters in IT: Chapter One, so I think it's between IT: Chapter Two and Ad Astra.
Personally, I'd recommend Ad Astra - I think you'll love the creativity behind the space setting, and the mystery should keep you glued to your seat.
I think that's a good call. Thanks for helping me sort through these!
My pleasure - enjoy the movie, and tell me how you liked it!
