3 Idiots is beautiful

5 second plot: Two friends have been searching for their third buddy for years, but he seems to have disappeared. They all met in college. Now, years later they have a real chance to finally find him. We get to see how they became such close friends and why it's so important for the two fellas to find their third musketeer.

5 second review: Let's be real, three hours is too long for a comedy. And I'm not a big fan of the dance routines. And there is also too much crying going on. But, I could easily put all that aside, because it is a beautiful story and an amazing movie.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars Season 2 turns it up a notch

5 second plot: The battles get bigger, the losses on both sides increase but no-one seems to be taking the upper-hand. New weapons emerge and the production of droids and clones increases. Chancellor Palpatine is showing his dark side more and more. Anakin is too but he still means well. Ahsoka is turning into a very skilled jedi. R2 has to save the day a couple of times. And young Boba Fett tries to assassinate Windu.

5 second review: This season the stories run over the course of more than one episode. The battles are still great but sometimes the story gets sidelined and comes to a full stop. The references to the original movies are awesome. Even Chancellor Palpatine is going 'I've got a baaaad feeling about this.'. And I'm pretty sure I heard the imperial march somewhere a long the line.

Two and a Half Men Season 7: it's the cylon from Battlestar Galactica

5 second plot: This season Charlie almost marries Chelsea. He doesn't screw it up, but she still leaves him. And then she comes back. And leaves again. And comes back again. And ... you get the point. Alan gets lucky a couple of times. Especially thanks to his magical hands. And Jake's pretty good with the ladies as well.

5 second review: This season is not as funny as the previous ones. There is definitely a shift in tone. It gets too serious from time to time. Lighter was better. And a couple of awkward moments as well: Herb an Alan anyone? When is Alan going to come out of the closet anyhow?

X-Men: Origins: Wolverine indeed features Deadpool

5 second plot: It's the origin story of the Wolverine, duh. He's an X-Man you know. Or he will be.

5 second review: It's not terrible. But it's not splendid. The only reason I re-watched this movie was to check if Deadpool is really in it. And he is. In the beginning (as Wade Wilson) and at the end (as Deadpool). But it's only Deadpool by name, it's not really the real Deadpool. He's not even wearing his costume. And he can't talk (No way. Yes way.). It is Ryan Reynolds. I was very surprised I totally didn't remember any of it.

Martyrs is goddamn nasty

5 second plot: A young woman seeks revenge for horrible things that were done to her when she was a child. Her friend tries to help her but finds more than she bargained for.

5 second review: You have to have a very good stomach to get through this one. It's a very violent, terrifying, nasty, extremely tough watch. You can't survive this by covering your eyes for just a second, because it's still nasty when you look again. And just as you think you got through the worst part, it gets even worse. I think I'm scarred for life by this one.

Breaking Bad Season 2

5 second plot: Mr White seems to have a chance to recover from his disease. Jessy screws everything up. Their lies catch up with them a number of times. They have trouble with their distributor so they try it themselves but that doesn't work out either. Eventually some pieces of the puzzle come together.

5 second review: Black and sad, so normally not my cup of tea, but very addictive. You get so involved with these guys you cannot wait for a next episode. Or a new season. The ending of this season is pretty spectacular. It's like an enormous butterfly effect.

Slumdog Millionaire is quite a ride

5 second plot: Jamal, a young Indian boy from the slums is about to win big bucks on the TV Show 'Who Wants to be a Millionaire?'. They arrest him under suspicion of fraud. He explains to the detective why he knows all the answers. This explanation is the story of his tough life trying to survive. With one upside: his life long love for the beautiful Latika.

5 second review: It's a sad but beautiful story. Told in a very interesting way. As if the director was afraid we would fall asleep. The Indian-American mash-up feels strange from time to time, but overall there is little or nothing to complain about. Two thumbs up.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars Season 1 is a whole bunch of info

5 second plot: In the Clone Wars the good guys, The Republic (Yoda, Anakin, Obi-Wan, clones and friends), are fighting the evil Separatists (Count Dooku, Grievous, droids and friends). Anakin’s got a padawan, Ahsoka. And he is still secretly seeing Padme.

5 second review: It’s great to get extra information on a whole lot of characters (old and new) and learn about all sorts of weapons, ships, creatures, worlds,… The lightsaber fights are good and the warship battles are often epic. You can feel Anakin’s fight with his dark side. He’s great with his padawan. The animation is a bit ‘wooden’ but I guess that’s part of the package. 

IMDb score: 7,9/10

Two and a Half Men Season 6: nickname Mad Dog

5 second plot: Charlie tries the long term relationship thing. He makes it to the end of the season. The biggest crush Alan has is on his receptionist. But then he sleeps with her mother. Almost. Oh, and he also sleeps with his ex-wife and probably made her pregnant. But Herb doesn't know.

5 second review: Where do they keep getting all this funny stuff? Everyone turns his or hers funnyness up a notch. Some new brilliantly funny characters: the big guy next door with the beautiful daughter Jake is fond of? Charlie's pharmacist? One question on the side though: when is Alan going to realize he is gay?

The Diving Bell and The Butterfly is in your face

5 second plot: The real life story of Jean-Dominique Bauby, big time editor of Elle magazine, who has a massive stroke and is paralyzed from head to toe. He can only move his left eye. With the help of some amazing people, he learns to communicate and even writes a book.

5 second review: All the people in this movie are so close to the camera, I'm glad I didn't have to see this in a big theater, because I did not always feel comfortable. But that's the idea of course. It's an amazing story. Especially the fact that he found a way to keep his spirit up. And the fact that he made some new friends, who treated him like a king.
