The Brothers Grimsby take it to the next level
















5 second plot: Nobby has been searching for his brother Sebastian for some 20 years. But now he's found him. Sebastian is a high profile secret agent for MI6. When he is falsely accused of a crime he didn't commit, he and his brother go hide in their old town of Grimsby.

5 second review: I guess some people will be offended by the childish wildly over the top humor, but I laughed my ass off. These fuckers take humor to the next level. Remember when Jim Carrey crawled out of the back-side of a rhino in Ace Ventura? Well, let me tell you: you ain't seen nothing yet.

The Big Bang Theory Season 9 Episode 18: The Application Deterioration



















5 second plot: Sheldon, Howard and Leonard form a partnership to start working out their idea (didn't really understand what it was). Emily wants Raj back. So she tries to lure him over.

5 second review: This is funny stuff. Sheldon's all happy happy joy joy that he gets to make a contract. And Raj walks into a trap with both eyes open.

10 Cloverfield Lane is quite the mind-fuck
















5 second plot: Michelle wakes up in a bunker after she's been in a serious car crash. There are two other people there. They tell her the world has gone to shit and that she can't leave the bunker. The outside air is probably toxic. Michelle is not sure if she can trust these guys.

5 second review: There are three people in this movie and they are stuck in a bunker. I figured it would probably be boring. But it isn't. Parts of the movie go a bit too slow, sure, but I was very curious the entire time where it was all heading. And the conclusion is worth the wait.

The Walking Dead Season 6 Episode 12: Not Tomorrow Yet
















5 second plot: Rick wants to take on The Saviors head first as soon as possible. There's a town meeting, a plan, a couple of drawings and off they go.

5 second review: This is again one of those extremely tense episodes. Lots of definite spoilers and possible spoilers from here on! The operation went extremely smooth. No-one of our team got killed. I don't know about you, but that makes me very worried. In my opinion that means that shit still has to hit the fan. I'm guessing this structure that they attacked is just an outpost of The Saviors, not the main building. And that means that there are a whole lot more of these pricks. And Negan is going to be very pissed off that Rick killed his men.

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot is old news
















5 second plot: In 2003 a female reporter goes to Afghanistan to cover the war. She's only supposed to stay a couple of months, but she ends up staying a couple of years. And it was a very dangerous place you know.

5 second review: This is not a comedy. But look at the title, look at the stars, look at the poster... They even fooled the frikkin' IMDb. I don't think I had to laugh one time. Wait, yes I did. She has to pee at a certain point and holds up an entire military convoy. I did have to laugh with that. The story is also about the fact that people stopped caring about Afghanistan. I know. Why make a movie about it then?

Zootropolis is good innocent fun
















5 second plot: Judy is the first bunny cop in the city of Zootropolis. Her boss and colleagues don't have a lot of confidence in her. But when several animals mysteriously disappear Judy might be just the type of cop they need to crack the case.

5 second review: This is really for kids. But the adults that have to tag along will enjoy it as well. There are a couple of moments where it might get scary for little kids (animals going crazy with red eyes) but overall it's sweet, innocent and fun.

IMDb score: 8,4/10
Our score: 7/10


Emelie is fucked up

















5 second plot: When mom and dad go out on a lovely date, the kids get a babysitter from hell.

5 second review: If you have kids: don't go near this movie. Especially when you sometimes have a babysitter come over. The movie's not bad. The actors do a great job. But the story is too fucked up and sad for my personal taste. I'm not too fond of seeing little kids being tormented.

IMDb score: 5,5/10
Our score: 4/10


The Other Side of the Door is heavy shit
















5 second plot: Maria loses her son in a terrible car accident. She can't live with the fact that he's gone. She finds out that she might be able to talk to him one last time. If she brings his ashes to an ancient temple. There's only one rule. She cannot open the door to the other side. No matter what. Guess what happens?

5 second review: This movie is definitely well made. It's dark and scary. But also very sad. Did they really have to take a kid as the center of the drama? Spoilers ahead! I always like to get some closure at the end of a 'heavy' movie like this, a little light at the end of the dark tunnel. But it ends as dark as it begins.

London Has Fallen is action PACKED
















5 second plot: Gerard Butler has to save the president's ass again. This time he's in London. Terrorists have taken over the city and they want to publicly execute the president. But they have to find him first. And get past good old Gerard.

5 second review: There's action packed and then there's ACTION PACKED. Holy crappers there's a lot of fighting and exploding going on in this movie. There isn't room for anything else. Like a story. Or common sense. But I'm not complaining. I loved it.

IMDb score: 6,1/10

Hot Bot has its moments
















5 second plot: Two guys accidentally get their hands on a sex robot. They try to take her out for a spin but somehow they always strike out. The real owner wants her back and sends his goons after them.

5 second review: This is a very low budget comedy (with a lot of familiar faces though). You will only enjoy this if you really don't have anything else to do. It's not very good but it does have its moments, thanks to the two lead characters who don't let anyone fuck with them.

IMDb score: 3,5/10
