A: shall we go to cinema this evening? The new blockbuster starring mel gibhson is showing. It's supposed to be really good.
B; what kind of movie is it? I don't like many of his movies, actually.
A: it's a thriller. It has Julia Roberts playing the female lead.
B: I like thrillers and I like Julia Roberts, so it might be interesting. I read a review today and the critic didn't seem to be very impressed.
A: what did the critic say?
B: he didn't say it was bad, but he said that it wasn't as good as it could have been, particularly as there were some good actors and actresses in it.
A: the movie starts at eight o'clock, so we have plenty of time to eat and get ready.
B: good. Dinner is nearly ready and I'd like to watch the news before we go. The Oscars were last night and I want to see the results.
A: I won't spoil your enjoyment by telling you who won. There were a few surprises.
