I haven't been to the movies in ages! Can you help me find something?
Of course. What kind of movie do you have in mind?
Well, I know it's no longer Halloween, but I'd love something scary.
So, horror? Do you want something supernatural like ghosts or psychological?
I'm open to both. It doesn't have to be strict horror either. I love mysteries and thrillers, crime movies. Something to keep me on the edge of my seat.
Doctor Sleep is out right now. It's a sequel to The Shining, which I know you've mentioned before.
Oh, I forgot that was out! I loved the book. How are reviews on Rotten Tomatoes?
It's certified fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, with a 76% rating among critics. Audiences have rated it 89%.
That sounds great. I'm still open to suggestions though! My friends loved The Joker. Is it as good as people are saying?
Audiences like it more than critics do on Rotten Tomatoes, 88% compared to 69%.
What are people saying about the lead actor?
Joaquin Phoenix is getting really good reviews. People say he really became the character.
I love that. What else is out?
You might like Knives Out. It's more comedy thriller though.
What's it about? I've seen posters but not a trailer.
It's a murder mystery, but really stylishly done. Reminds me of Royal Tenenbaums visually, which I know you've seen.
That sounds fun. How are reviews?
It's not out yet, not until November 27. But it has a 97% rating among critics on Rotten Tomatoes.
Darn. That sounds great though.
So are you going to wait or do you want another recommendation?
I think I'll go with Joker. I've been wanting to see it already.
Sounds great.
