I'll have the Mark Ruffalo, with a side of the Zodiac Killer

So my reading audience may or may not know this, but for all my hatred of slasher flicks, I do have a morbid curiosity about famous serial killers. At once point in the past I even stumbled upon a whole website that gives case histories of all the most dramatized and famous cases in American history, and way up there on the list is the infamous Zodiac killer. You also may or may not be aware that: 1) the zodiac killer killed people in public places and communicated with the media for years, 2) he was never caught, and 3) my boyfriend Stephen has a long-standing and irrational fear of the Zodiac killer with which I like to tease him. For example, if the power goes out, I may suggest something like...the Zodiac killer is lurking around in the basement, just to freak him out. Yes, I am aware this isn't nice, but sometimes he's just asking for it. Stephen, unlike myself, loves horror movies and always tries to get me to see them, so when I heard rumors of a Zodiac killer movie in the works a few years ago, I thought he might actually be excited. However, he set me straight. As for myself, I was fairly unexcited about the prospect of an anything-related horror movie. That is, until about five minutes ago, when I came upon this important fact about the new Zodiac film: it stars Robert Downey Jr. AND Mark Ruffalo, two men I love love love to see in practically anything. Their involvement led me to believe that this was perhaps not exactly a horror film, and I do believe we could instead call it a "psychological thriller", a genre with which I have no problem, even when it verges into horror territory-e.g. Seven. ALSO- it has an 85% positive rating on rottentomatos.com, which is mighty hard to come by anytime of year, but particularly in the dregs of the movie-going season which is Feb/March. So, I may just have to drag someone out to the theater to see this...fortunately for him, Stephen has escaped this fate by a few thousand miles. Don't worry honey- I'll get you later.
