It is scary fun
5 second plot: It's not easy being a kid in Derry in 1988-89. Either you get beaten up by the local bullies, have horrible nightmares/visions or get chased by an evil clown that wants to eat you alive. Enter 'The Losers'. They are tired of being scared and decide to put an end to It.
5 second review: This is like a fucked up horror version of The Goonies. The kids are perfectly cast, the horror is great (don't worry about kids being involved, no-one's holding back here), it's funny as shit and scary as hell. I will be dreaming of this fucking clown for a very long time.

Game of Thrones Season 7 Episode 6: Beyond the Wall
5 second plot: Jon and his band of brothers find the army of the dead. They are able to catch one of them, but at a great cost. Aria confronts Sansa with something she did a long time ago. She doesn't seem to realize that Littlefinger is playing her.
5 second review: There's a lot of talking and butt-kissing first to get to the spectacular stuff. But it's worth the wait. I don't like where they are going with Aria in the story. I hope she's not as stupid as they are trying to make us believe.

Game of Thrones Season 7 Episode 5: Eastwatch
5 second plot: Spoilers ahead! Jaime realizes that it's going to be impossible to win the war. Cersei won't hear of it. Jon wants to show Cersei a zombie to convince her to leave Daenerys alone for a bit so she can help him fight the dead. Tyrion secretly meets with Jaime to talk about it. Jon teams up with a magnificent band of heroes and misfits to go snatch the zombie.
5 second review: There's no big battle in this episode. I was kind of getting used to it. Jon's team has got The Hound in it, the bastard son of king Baratheon, Jorah and the leader of the wildlings. Now that's a team-up! I was thinking about the meeting between Jaime and Tyrion. How did they arrange that? They don't have phones so how in the world did he ring that in?

Game of Thrones Season 7 Episode 3: The Queen's Justice
5 second plot: Spoilers ahoy! Jon shits his pants when he meets Daenerys' dragons. The mother of dragons is not buying his story about the living dead. Bran makes it back to Winterfell. Cersei avenges her daughter's death. And seems to be outwitting her brother in the strategies of war.
5 second review: This is a very interesting episode. It feels like watching a Rocky movie: first the good guys get punched in the face (a lot) and just when you think they are going to stay down, they're going to start throwing killer punches. Or at least: that's what I think will happen. For now, they are just getting punched in the face. A lot.

Game of Thrones Season 7 Episode 1: Dragonstone
5 second plot: Spoiler alert! Arya kills every last one of the fuckers that helped slaughter her family at the red wedding. Now she's on her way to kill the queen. The zombie army is coming. Jon is organizing the defense of the wall together with Sansa. Bran arrives at the wall. Cersei is trying to figure out what crazy thing to do next. The Dragon Queen is home at last.
5 second review: They are not wasting any time: let's get crackin'! It's turning into a good old fashion fight of good against evil. We don't just get to see zombies in this episode but GIANT zombies! How cool is that? The Hound is hilarious. The Ed Sheeran cameo is NOT. But it's not terrible. Just stupid.

Baby Driver rules
5 second plot: Baby is a getaway driver. He's very young, but he's the best in the business. He doesn't want to be a criminal, but he can't seem to get out. When he falls in love, things get complicated.
5 second review: It doesn't happen very often that you get to see a movie so cool and slick that you want to watch it again right after you saw it. This is one of those movies. Jamie Foxx's character is the only false note, everything else is film fan heaven.

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales is silly fun
5 second plot: Jack teams up with youngsters Henry and Carina to look for the trident of Poseidon while being hunted down by the cursed Captain Salazar.
5 second review: This is a fun and exciting adventure filled with great visuals. But you can not take it too seriously, because it's all a bit silly. For instance, they try to steal a vault but end up towing the entire bank through the town Fast and Furious-style. With horses.

American Gods Season 1 Episode 4: Git Gone
5 second plot: It's the origin story of Shadow and his wife. And how she came back from being dead.
5 second review: This is a pretty cool episode. With some pretty interesting ideas about life and death. And body-parts (f)lying around. And blood gushing all over the place. And an awesome display of a guy who gets kicked in the nuts so hard, he splits in half while his spine and skull fly out of the top of his body. If that isn't cool I don't know what is.

American Gods Season 1 Episode 3: Head Full of Snow
5 second plot: A woman dies, Shadow gets another chance at life, Wednesday is robbing a bank, Mad Sweeney is out of luck, a guy in New York has sex with his cab driver who's got flames coming out of his eyes.
5 second review: Well that's something you don't see every day: two bearded Arab guys fucking while one of them's got flames coming out of his eye sockets. And I probably missed the whole symbolism point they were trying to make (it seems that when he comes inside this other dude's butt his flame gets passed on? I don't know) because I was to busy thinking: MAKE IT STOOOOOOP!

American Gods Season 1 Episode 1-2 is impressive
5 second plot: Shadow (cool name huh) has just been released from prison. On his way to his wife's funeral (who died in a car crash with his best friend's private parts in her mouth) he is offered a job by Wednesday. A guy who seems to have been around for a while. And who seems to attract the kind of crowd that gets Shadow beaten up all the time.
5 second review: And I forgot about Vikings chopping each utter to pieces (parts flying around the screen) and a woman who 'absorbs' people in her vagina. I shit you not, it's that kind of TV show. Oh, and a buffalo with fire shooting out of his eyes. It's visually impressive but it looks like style over content so I wasn't going to pursue this further than 2 episodes. But goddamned I want to know what happens next.

Logan doesn't fuck around
5 second plot: In the near future (2029 or something like that) Logan (aka the Wolverine, but you knew that) is hiding together with Professor X. He's losing his powers and getting weaker every day. He ends up on the radar of an evil organization when a mutant girl with powers like him escapes.
5 second review: Wow, I wasn't expecting an all out brutal Wolverine like this! What a treat! (If you're into body parts (especially heads) being chopped off and all that.) I prefer seeing a Wolverine in top shape but I guess this is a story that needed to be told. You can tell Hugh Jackman invested a lot emotionally in this movie. The final showdown is legendary.

John Wick: Chapter 2 is the real deal
5 second plot: John Wick's coming out of retirement sets off a chain of events leading to him being on everyone's kill list. But you know John: if he sees you first, you're already dead.
5 second review: I love his old school judo (well, maybe not really judo) fighting style and I also love the old school rules and regulations surrounding the union of hit men/women. This movie is one big fight sequence where the character you're rooting for always ends up on top.

The Walking Dead Season 7 Episode 8: Hearts Still Beating
5 second plot: Plans are made to kill Negan. And he's being such a nice guy: not killing Carl, making spaghetti, taking care of the guy that wants Rick out of the way,... Daryl manages to escape (thank you Jesus). Maggie tries to find her way in the Hilltop community. Michonne finds what she was looking for and returns home.
5 second review: Oh man, this is the mid-season finale. That means we have to wait for a couple of months to see how things turn out. I love the fact that it ends on a happy note for a change.

Ash vs Evil Dead Season 2 Episode 6-10 continues to be very nasty
5 second plot: Ash gets trapped in Baal's bad ass mind tricks. Pablo converges with the book. The gang has to travel back in time to straighten things out.
5 second review: Two episodes are set in an asylum.They don't really fit in and are kind of boring. So just skip these, you won't miss a thing. The time traveling shit is - of course - crazy and a lot of fun. This second half of the second season continues to be very bloody and very nasty. I had to put away my snacks a couple of times.

The Walking Dead Season 7 Episode 5: Go Getters
5 second plot: Maggie is still alive. Together with Sasha she tries to convince the asshole leader of the Hilltop, Gregory, to let them stay. The Hilltop gets a visit from the Saviors, who want to remind everyone who's the boss. Carl is up to something. He's going to try to kick Negan's butt, is my guess.
5 second review: This is an interesting episode. There's a lot going on and a lot to see. Their world is getting bigger and bigger. I think Carl is going to pull an awesome stunt. And I'm guessing Negan is going to love it.

Arrival is mind-blowing
5 second plot: When 12 big alien spacecraft arrive it's up to the world's scientists and linguistic experts to figure out what the aliens want. Are they just visiting or are they here to kick us out?
5 second review: This movie is something else. It's mind-blowingly complex and mysterious but also dramatic and an emotional roller-coaster. It's certainly something you don't see every day. In the wrong hands, this would have been a disaster. Lucky for us, it is quite the opposite.

The Walking Dead Season 7 Episode 3: The Cell
5 second plot: We get an introduction to The Sanctuary, where the Saviors live. This is a place where the strong have it good, and the weak do not. Daryl is a prisoner here. And Dwight and Negan are trying to break him. Because they know Daryl could be an asset.
5 second review: I like this new place. Not that I agree with the way Negan runs things, but it's refreshing to take a peek inside this rather big expansion of TWD universe.

5 second plot: Carol and Morgan find themselves in The Kingdom, where the sun always shines and everyone is always happy. The Kingdom is ruled by King Ezekiel. His best friend is big ass tiger.

The Walking Dead Season 7 Episode 1: The Day Will Come When You Won't Be
5 second review: Be prepared. This is an extremely brutal episode. I never thought they would dare go this far and this explicit. It's awesome. I feel sorry for the actors though. The emotional shit they have to go through must be devastating. It's a shame that Negan can't swear the way he does in the comics. They can show the goriest gore, but he can't say 'fuck'. Go figure.

The Accountant is seriously cool
5 second plot: Christian is a math savant who's exceptionally good at accounting (but not very good with people). He does the books for (big) criminal organisations. When he finds out that the Treasury Department is making inquiries about him, he takes on a legitimate client. But then he finds something in their books that no-one was supposed to find out about.
5 second review: It's a very elaborate back story for a simple action movie and not everyone's motivation (for doing what they do) makes sense but this accountant is so fucking cool nothing else matters. I always love it when they get a mysterious invincible superhuman with mad fighting skills right.
