Hey, I want to see a good movie. I'm kind of bummed out.
What about Last Christmas? The drama-romance stars Emma Thompson.
Yuck. That even sounds like a bad movie. I may like Christmas, but not bad, sappy dramas. I wouldn't even tell my friends I saw that.
It has a 48 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes, so you're probably right about it being terrible. What about something nostalgic?
OK. What about something that has a taste of my childhood?
Adams Family is still in theaters, though it has a Rotten Tomatoes rating of 43 percent.
No thank you. My friend Glen saw that movie last month. He thought it was awful. Stick with something nostalgic, though. I kind of like that idea.
What about Terminator: Dark Fate? You used to love those Terminator movies.
What's it rated?
I don't quite know what you're asking. It's rated R. It also has a 71 percent on Rotten Tomatoes. Hopefully, that covers all the bases.
I'll wait until it's available through on-demand. I'm intrigued, but not feeling the action genre today. Take me back to my childhood.
There are some theaters near you playing the 2004 animated class Polar Express. It stars Tom Hanks. You loved that movie when you were little.
How far from home?
The Grand Haven 9.
That's a long drive. Plus, I think I still have the DVD somewhere at home. What's Tom Hanks up to lately? Love that guy.
He's starring in A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood, which is a Mister Rogers biographical drama. It opens tomorrow at several local theaters.
Really? I loved that Mister Rogers documentary. I think all of my friends cried. What are the early ratings?
91 percent on Rotten Tomatoes.
Cool. I want to see that movie. At my closest theater, what's the earliest post-work start time?
There's a 7 p.m. showing at the Grand Rapids 18.
Awesome! Thank you!
My pleasure!
