Hey, I'm thinking of seeing a movie! I tend to like horror and animation, and I have a soft spot for Disney movies. Any recommendations?
Definitely! If you like Disney, you might enjoy Maleficent: Mistress of Evil, which is a sequel to the original Maleficent movie.
Oh, I loved the first Maleficent! I've heard conflicting reviews on the sequel, though. What else do you recommend?
Since you like animation, you might want to consider the new Addams Family movie. The art style is very similar to Charles Addams' original drawings.
Oh wow, I really loved the live action versions from the 90s, so that might be fun! Is it traditional animation or computer animation?
It's computer animation, which is very popular these days.
Oh, that's too bad. Computer animation is fine, but I really miss the days when animation was hand-drawn. What else is playing?
You mentioned enjoying horror. Doctor Sleep recently came out. It's based on the Stephen King book, which is a sequel to The Shining, about Danny Torrance as an adult.
Ooh, I've been looking forward to that one! I really wanted to read the book first, though. Who plays Danny?
Ewan MacGregor plays Danny in Doctor Sleep. If you'd rather wait on that one, Zombieland: Double Tap is another horror movie that's currently playing.
That's definitely promising! The first one was excellent. I loved Bill Murray's cameo! I'll keep that one in mind. Do you have more recommendations?
In keeping with the horror genre, IT: Chapter Two is still in theaters.
Eh. I liked the first one just fine, but I might wait until the sequel is streaming to watch it. How long is it?
The runtime for IT: Chapter Two is just under three hours.
Wow, that's way too long! Yeah, I'll definitely save that one for streaming. I like the old TV miniseries better, anyway. Can't beat Tim Curry.
Sounds like Zombieland or Maleficent might be your best bets, then.
Do you have any information on which one is getting better reviews?
According to Rotten Tomatoes, it looks like Zombieland is the winner. It has a 68% fresh rating, compared to Maleficent's 41%.
That's a big difference. Zombieland it is, then! Thanks for your help!
Anytime! Have fun!
