1.

A : What’s that new movie like? Is it a drama?

B: Kind of. This volcano suddenly comes up out of the ocean in San Francisco, so this family is trying to get away from it. It’s a good story, though. Pretty scary and very realistic.

A: Are the special effects any good?

B: They’re great!

A: Does it have any famous actors in it?

B: Not really. They really should have had better actors. The two stars are pretty bad. But the music is great.

2.

A: So tell me about that new movie you went to on Saturday. What’s it all about?

B: It’s about these bank robbers in Kansas and how the police are trying to hunt them down. It’s pretty exciting from the moment the movie starts right ’til the end.

A: Are there a lot of special effects?

B: Yeah, there are a lot of big explosions. They were terrific.

A: Who’s in the movie?

B: A couple of new actors that I’ve never seen before. They were both pretty good, especially the guy.

A: Sounds like a great movie.

B: Yeah. The only thing I didn’t like was the music. They have this very loud, funky music all the way through. It was pretty annoying.

3.

A: What was the movie like?

B: Well, it’s supposed to be an adventure story. Some explorers in Africa discover this new kind of animal. A really huge ape that they want to bring back to America.

A: Sounds interesting.

B: Yeah, the story was good, but the special effects were awful. The ape didn’t look very realistic at all. It looked like a toy or something. And the two main actors were pretty awful.

A. So it’s not worth seeing?

B: No. But buy the soundtrack. The music was excellent.

4.

A: Is that movie you saw any good?

B: Yeah, fantastic.

A: It’s about a robbery, right?

B: Yeah, it’s a great story about these art thieves in London who want to steal some famous paintings from a museum. It ends with a fantastic helicopter chase all over London. There are some unbelievable special effects.

A: Really. I should see it. Who’s in it?

B: A couple of British actors I never saw before. They’re fantastic. There are some nice songs in the movie, too.

A: Great.
