The Walking Dead Season 5 Episode 16: Conquer (season finale)

5 second plot: The people of Alexandria have a meeting to decide what to do with Rick. They don't realize that they won't be doing any deciding. Glenn and Nicolas clash really bad. Daryl and Aaron meet Morgan. You know, the good guy from the beginning who went a tiny bit nuts? He somehow picked up some awesome Steven Seagal fighting skills. And he gets hands on with the W-nutcases. So we get to meet those nice folks also.

5 second review: What an awesome episode. Thank god it's an extended one, because there was a lot to be said. The tension rises so high, I stopped breathing a couple of times. Great zombies (lots of them), great head chopping (kudos to Daryl's triple head chain move), great new (old) face, awesome speeches and no annoying cliffhanger (not really). One word of advice though: put a fucking silencer on the bike already, would you, Daryl?

Home is too basic

5 second plot: Earth is overrun by a friendly alien race. All humans have been reallocated to new fake homes while the aliens take over the real world. Tip was left behind. She teams up with Oh, an alien on the run from his own people, to find her mom. And maybe save the planet.

5 second review: Thank god I took my kids to see this one (they loved it), because this movie did not amuse me one bit. It feels like the sole purpose of the movie is to make money out of fluffy merchandising and to promote Rihanna songs. The story is very thin (and boring), the characters are not fleshed out at all and the animation is too basic. The only thing that works are the colors. Like when Oh is lying and he turns green but doesn't realize it.

Robot Overlords could have been fun

5 second plot: The world is in the hands of alien robots. They say they just want to examine the human race. And when they're done, they will leave. All humans have to stay indoors. Except for a handful of collaborators. Sean and a couple of friends figure out a way to disable their tracking system. They go looking for Sean's dad.

5 second review: The idea is cool, the robots are decent and it's a pretty solid adventure story. And it's even funny from time to time. The evil humans might be a bit much. Ben Kingsley takes it a tad too far. This makes it a lot less fun than it could have been. And it's too bad the movie eventually spirals completely out of control and turns into a ridiculous mess. That too.

Dead Rising doesn't make much sense

5 second plot: A reporter gets stuck in a quarantined zombie infected zone. And he wants out. But he will have to prove that the virus isn't airborne and figure out why the anti-zombie drug isn't working. And as if zombies weren't enough, he also has to deal with a gang of violent criminals roaming the streets.

5 second review: The zombies are tough fuckers. It's not easy to kill them. There's a lot of over the top nasty shit in this movie. It's not very well done, but they get one point for trying. There are a couple of familiar faces in here. It's a bit weird. So are the emotions of the 'heroes'. It all doesn't make a whole lot of sense. But that wasn't the idea. I think.

IMDb score: 5,5/10

Get Hard is not all bad

5 second plot: James is an a-hole rich guy who is going to jail for big scale fraud. He's got 30 days to get ready for prison and he hires Darnell, his car-wash guy, to help him. Darnell never did time, but James just assumes he did because he is black. That's the kind of a-hole rich guy he is.

5 second review: You have to be able to lighten up to like this movie. Because there's a lot of stuff you could get offended by. Easily. Kevin Hart is all over the place, Will Ferrell doesn't get a lot of opportunities to shine. All things considered, it doesn't make much sense, it's a lot of the same and it is offensive, but if you just go with the flow it's not that bad.

While We're Young is overall a good deal

5 second plot: Josh and Cornelia one day meet a younger couple who make them re-evaluate their own lives.

5 second review: This is as much a comedy as it is a drama. It gets painful and awkward lots of times. But I guess that's the whole idea. Not all the comedy works (the barfing) but some things do (the pitch to the young movie exec). The story is not very interesting but thanks to the solid performances it's still overall a good deal.

iZombie Season 1 Episode 2: Brother, Can You Spare a Brain?

5 second plot: Liv meets the zombie from her dreams. He seems pretty normal, but there is something about him that doesn't add up. Meanwhile Liv helps solve the murder of a painter, who got killed with his paint-brush.

5 second review: Poof, the magic is already gone, and it's only the second episode. The smart-assing is gone, the sharpness is gone and the clues are laying around sloppily all over the place. I think my iZombie adventure already ends here.

The Last Man on Earth Season 1 Episode 5-13

5 second plot:
Ep 5: Phil convinces the ladies he needs to have sex with Melissa. You know: for re-population purposes only. Just as he's about to get his freak on, another man arrives.
Ep 6: Todd is a great guy. Melissa is falling for him. Phil can't believe it and turns into an even bigger ass.
Ep 7: Todd is having lots of sex with Melissa and Phil is losing it. And he has to clean out his shit-pool. And the inevitable happens: he falls in!
Ep 8: Phil finds a cow. But Todd gets all the credit.
Ep 9: Phil meets two new women. But he doesn't tell them that he's not alone. Of course they find out the bad way.
Ep  10: Phil realizes he's a pathological liar. And comes clean. He and Carol get a divorce.
Ep 11: A new good looking guy arrives. Phil and Todd don't take it very well. Phil even loses his name. He is now 'Tandy'.
Ep 12: The new Phil is great. The ladies love him. The guys are going to kill him.
Ep 13: New Phil kicks old Phil out of his own town.

5 second review: This show is brilliantly funny and very original. Phil is so honest and awful. You root for him, but you know he's going to screw up. I can't wait to see what season 2 has got in store for him.

The Walking Dead Season 5 Episode 15: Try

5 second plot: There are no happy faces in Alexandria. The boss woman is not so sure anymore of the new recruits. Rick and co are afraid they will get as weak as the other Alexandrians. Daryl and Aaron find signs of humans activity. But they are really bad signs of a sicko at work. And Rick takes on Pete. And flips out. And there's a big clash between old and new.

5 second review: I don't know what's going to happen now? I'm predicting a couple of huge cliff hangers next episode (the season finale). It's all very very very exciting. What's this showdown going to result in? Who is this psycho outside the walls (maybe one that got sent away)? Music seems to be a new trend in The Walking Dead. I don't know if I like the Baywatch-style (well, sort of) clips though.

IMDb score: 9,2/10

The Gunman is over-complicated

5 second plot: Jim did some very bad things 8 years ago in Congo. And his past has come to haunt him. He doesn't care very much about himself but he's not about to let the love of his life get dragged into his mess.

5 second review: The action is solid. He's got some great fighting skills. But the story is too extensive. I like a complicated plot but it is completely unnecessary (and distracting) for a simple action flick like this. I also never like it when they make the hero soft. That's where they dropped the ball on the Liam Neeson wannabe checklist.
