Cloud Atlas

5 second plot: This story is a journey through time, covering several millenniums and unraveling separate stories that are connected through the souls of the participants.

5 second review: It is a long movie, but a lot happens in it, so it's not a drag, but it is somewhat of a challenge to hang in there until the end.

American Horror Story Season 2: Asylum is ridiculous

5 second plot: The year is 1964, the location is an insane asylum run by the church. This season mixes the story of serial killers, a Nazi doctor, alien abductions, a possession, human flesh eating monsters, the angel of death herself and a lot of crazy folk into one (not very) coherent whole. Even Anne Frank gets to make an appearance.

5 second review: There is simply too much stuff in the mix here. There are some very cool and memorable scenes (the angel of death), but it's not more than that. The first 4 episodes are completely ridiculous and the last 3 are a boring stretch simply to get to the cool total of 13. Good performances from the cast, but the story is a very big mess.

IMDb score: 8,4/10

V/H/S is unsettling

5 second plot: A group of fucked up friends breaks into a house and starts watching some videos. We (the viewers) also get to see these (disturbing) short stories. We've got (something like) a vampire, a couple of psycho-killers (one of them sort of supernatural), ghosts, a haunted house and I think even aliens.

5 second review: The quality of the film (VHS ya know) is very bad. I know it's the whole idea but that doesn't make it less annoying. However. I must say the movie surprised me more than once. You simply don't know what's coming next. And it scared the shit out of me here and there. So. Not bad at all.

Two and a Half Men Season 10

5 second plot: Jake is a cook in the army; they try to keep him away from guns. Walden meets and loses a lot of woman. Alan is with Lindsey through most of the season but she dumps him at the end.

5 second review: They try to keep this show as fresh as possible. And it is working. They introduce a lot of great side characters that give the show new mojo. The jokes are still amazing, you kind of wonder where they keep getting the stuff. The running joke about kicking Alan out of the house is getting a bit old though.

IMDb score: 7,3/10

The Seasoning House is quite depressing

5 second plot: Set in the Balkans during the war, this is a story of young girls who are enslaved into prostitution for the soldiers. A deaf girl is enslaved as the boss's angel and has to take care of the 'house'. One day the soldiers that killed her family show up. And she fights back.

5 second review: We are in the Balkans. And everyone speaks English. With a Eastern European accent. It happens often in movies like these, but I will never get used to it. The subject of this film is horrifying. I like a good horror movie now and then, but this is far from fun to watch. There are some great performances in here. And a couple of good bad guy killings as well. But overall: very depressing.

IMDb score: 6/10

Twixt is painfully bad

5 second plot: A writer of witch stories ends up in a small town where he dreams a great new story. The question is why he is dreaming about stuff that probably really happened?

5 second review: No way this was directed by the real Francis Ford Coppola. This movie is horrible. It's one of the worst I have ever seen. And that's saying something. Is he completely losing his mind?

IMDb score: 4,9/10
Our score: 0/10

The Tall Man

2 second plot: In Cold Rock every couple of months a child goes missing, never to be heard of again.

2 second review: Cold, dark and mysterious with a strange twist that should take everyone by surprise.

Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee Season 1

5 second plot: Jerry Seinfeld calls up his funny palls, picks them up in an appropriate car (someone even asked me if I was watching Top Gear), has a cup of coffee and a bite to eat and funny shit just happens.

5 second review: It's brilliant, it's beautiful, it's real, it's the kind of comedy I want to see. And it's free: it's just sitting there, on that thing called 'the internet'.

IMDb score: 8,1/10
Our score: 10/10

Breaking Bad Season 5 Episodes 1-8

5 second plot: First the guys have a big mess to clean up. Then they simply start up again. But this time they are in charge. Well, Heisenberg is. By the end of the first half of the season, Walter is transformed into a psychopathic killer who wants to build nothing less than an empire.

5 second review: The schemes they come up with are brilliant (giant magnet, train robbery,...) and very entertaining. The Skyler-Walter situation is a bit too much drama, but everything else is really good off the chart television. Can't wait to find out how this will end.

IMDb score: 9,4/10
Our score: 9/10

The Hunt was not for me

5 second plot: A man's life gets totally screwed up after a little girl makes up a story about how she saw his private parts.

5 second review: 10 minutes in you already know where they are going with it. And I already made up my mind at that point that it was going to be way too much drama for me. And it was. The production of the movie is fine, it's just the story that I really hate.
