Mario: I’ve already seen Mr and Mrs Jones. I haven’t seen War Games, but I don’t really want to see an action film. What else is on?
Tamara: There’s that science fiction film, Robot 2075, but I’ve already seen it.
Mario: Is it good?
Tamara: Yes, it is, but I don’t want to see it again. There’s a romantic comedy called Forever.
Mario: Mmm, I’m not sure. Are there any horror films on?
Tamara: Yes, there’s Midnight Moon. It’s got vampires in it.
