We have "Beyond The Storm," which starts at 8:30. And lastly, there's "Backcountry," which starts at 7:30. And if those times don't work for you, I can give you some later times, as well.

Let me pull up the synopsis for you. Backcountry is a documentary film about exploring Yosemite National Park. It's rated G, and it's playing at the Cinemark Downtown theater. Does that sound like something you'd enjoy watching?

Actually, I really can't stand documentaries. On second thought, the movie "Not My Problem" sounds pretty interesting.

Hmm... I really hate being late to movies. I think my coworker and I are probably just going to grab a bite to eat first. So I think the 10:05 showtime will probably work best. Can I book two tickets for that one?
