I can't decide if I should go to see Zombieland 2 or the Joker. Which would you suggest?
Is there a mood you would like to get out of this movie or a certain occasion you're choosing to watch it?
Well, it's around Halloween time so i'd like something at least a little dark and maybe scary. However my boyfriend doesn't like scary movies so he wants to keep it light. I want something that will work for both of us.
The Joker is listed under drama/thriller and Zombieland 2 is listed under zombie/action. Which of these 2 do you think better suits each of your needs?
I really love zombie movies. I've watched so many from dawn of the dead to shawn of the dead. I don't think they're very scary but I do love dystopian worlds and zombie movies essentially take the cake on that. I'm not a fan of movies that are incredibly long though. I often have a hard time paying attention and I get tired after awhile. Can you check the length of both of these movies?
Of course. Zombieland is 1 hour and 39 minutes and Joker is 2 hours and 2 minutes.
This information makes me lean more towards Zombieland.. I also just noticed a different movie called Dr. Sleep. The title looks enticing, can you tell me a little bit about what that movie is?
Here is the synopsis of Dr. Sleep: "Struggling with alcoholism, Dan Torrance remains traumatized by the sinister events that occurred at the Overlook Hotel when he was a child. His hope for a peaceful existence soon becomes shattered when he meets Abra, a teen who shares his extrasensory gift of the "shine." Together, they form an unlikely alliance to battle the True Knot, a cult whose members try to feed off the shine of innocents to become immortal."
That sounds like it includes a lot of action as well as some scary elements! This might be perfect for my boyfriend and I. Can you tell me any additional info?
Dr. Sleep is labeled under the category of Fantasy/thriller and is based on a book by Stephen King. It is 2 hours and 33 minutes long.
That's a little long.. But stephen King always manages to give me the creeps with movies. He relies less on jump scares and deals more with psychological scares which i personally really enjoy from a movie. I like walking out of a movie feeling freaked out by the dark parking lot. Can you tell me what the show times are for a theatre near me?
Tomorrow, October 30th, there are 2 showings available at Crossroads Cinema and Pickerington Cinema. Both showtimes start at 7:00 pm.
Great! I think that's what I'll go see with my boyfriend and it will be perfect in time for Halloween. I've heard a lot of people love Stephen King's work so even if my boyfriend gets scared, I'll just tell him it's from a classic.
Stephen King indeed has a vast amount of books that he has written, the majority being horror novels. He is world renown for his work so it is typically highly recommended.
Great, thank you!
You're welcome.
