Game of Thrones Season 7 Episode 7: The Dragon and the Wolf (season finale)
















5 second plot: Daenerys and friends show the zombie to Cersei and friends. Sansa and Arya's conflict reaches a boiling point. We find out who Jon really is (it's even more complicated than we first thought). The dead arrive at the wall.

5 second review: It's great to see old friends and foes meet. It's a good thing Bron is there to take the edge off (a little bit). I love the way Ned Stark's legacy is still very much alive. He is still the coolest man in GoT. This episode is unreal. I don't think I've ever in my life seen an episode of a TV show this good. And now we wait...

Game of Thrones Season 7 Episode 4: The Spoils of War 


















5 second plot: Spoilers ahead! Cersei regains the trust of the Iron Bank. Aria comes home. Daenerys and Jon are starting to get along but she still wants him to bend the knee. When Daenerys finds out that she is losing the war, she decides to take matters into her own hands. In other words: Jamie and Bronn are screwed.

5 second review: Well girl, if you want something done right, you've got to do it yourself, I guess. The way the tension builds up to this episode's battle is awesome. It felt like the Jurassic Parc T-Rex build-up. The production value (battles, dragons, fire, explosions,...) is amazing for a TV show. They were not kidding when they said this season would be BIG.

Game of Thrones Season 7 Episode 2: Stormborn



















5 second plot: Melisandre pays Daenerys a visit. And informs her of the existence of one Jon Snow. Cersei is still trying to find allies. Sam tries to cure Jorah. Tyrion lays out his attack strategy. Not everything goes as planned. A premature battle is fought at sea.

5 second review: This episode has it all: it's cool, sexy, action packed, nasty (stomach turning), filled with visual goodies and it has an awesome blood gushing battle.

Westworld Season 1 Episode 4-10 is damn near perfect
















5 second plot: The man in black and Dolores are looking for the center of the maze. Some of the hosts are starting to become aware of who (or what) they are. Ford is building a big new story-line. The other original creator, Arnold, seems to be reaching out from the afterlife.

5 second review: If you haven't started seeing this brilliant show yet, what are you doing wasting your time reading this? Hop to it! The hot shot actors are in top form, the mystery is out of this world awesome and the story is damn near perfect. I almost can't believe they pulled it off. This is must see TV. Pronto!

Game of Thrones Season 6 Episode 10: The Winds of Winter (season finale)
















5 second plot: Huge spoilers ahead! Cersei blows up half of the city to get rid of her enemies and crowns herself Queen of the Seven Kingdoms. Jon becomes King in the North. The Dragon Queen is on her way with some new allies and a big ass army. Arya starts her small scale (with big results) revenge. Bran, aka the new Three Eyed Raven arrives at his destination. Oh yeah, and winter is coming.

5 second review: The plot description is just a small summary of the gazillion things that unravel in this season finale. This is - again - a great episode. Game of Thrones is simply THE biggest fan pleasing show in the history of television.

Game of Thrones Season 6 Episode 9: Battle of the Bastards
















5 second plot: Spoilers ahoy! Daenerys unleashes her dragons and takes back Meereen. The Iron Island folks arrive (the good ones). The two queens get along quite well. Jon and his troops prepare for battle. But that sick fuck Ramsay has got something in store for them. Thank god JS can't die. Almost everyone else does.

5 second review: This is one battle-PACKED episode. My god. It's awesomely tense. First we get the three dragons in full combat action. And then Jon and Ramsay go head to head. And to top it off Sansa gets to make a little victory dance. Too bad almost everyone dies. There's no-one left to celebrate with.

Game of Thrones Season 6 Episode 5: The Door
















5 second plot: Sansa and Jon try to find allies to take back the North. Sansa tells Littlefinger to sod off though. Arya gets another chance. Bran pisses off the leader of the white walkers. The Greyjoys select a new leader. Tyrion and Varys try to keep things together. We find out why Hodor is called Hodor.

5 second review: Wow. This feels like an episode of The Walking Dead. But GoT has got fast zombies. Man, do these zombies run. It's a really cool episode. Everything is coming together nicely. The Hodor part is brilliant.

Cersei teams up with the queen's grandmom to kick some High Sparrow butt. Theon makes it home. Daenerys shows the Dothraki that she's fireproof.

5 second review: This is one of those HOLY SHIT episodes. It's like the episodes where we got to see the dragons for the first time. Not just awesome. Mega awesome.

Deadpool rules!
















5 second plot: Wade Wilson is an ex-special forces soldier who transforms into an unkillable, but very likable mercenary with a big mouth after they experiment on him to cure him from cancer. He helps the innocent (but also sometimes probably accidentally kills one) and punishes (let's say: kills) bad guys.

5 second review: I laughed my ass off. The entire theater laughed his or her ass off. The crowd simply went wild. That doesn't happen very often. It's brilliantly funny.

Ash vs Evil Dead Season 1 Episode 4: Brujo
















5 second plot: Ash and his crew are on the move. They are heading for Pablo's uncle. He's got spiritual powers and may be able to help them with their deadite situation. Kelly is not feeling well. The demon from the previous episode hit her harder then she thought. We find out more about the mystery woman that's always one step behind Ash. She's the daughter of the original cast that got 'Ashed'.

5 second review: Still fucking perfect. Ash for president!

Ash vs Evil Dead Season 1 Episode 3: Books from Beyond
















5 second plot: Ash and his crew arrive at the bookstore. Ash hopes the owner can help put a lid on the bull-shit. They decide to summon a weaker demon to ask him how to undo the spell. Of course: this plan back-fires. We also get the origin story of the book.

5 second review: I don't know how it's possible that every new episode tops the already perfect previous one. There must be evil forces at work here. Ash is just talking crazy all the time and making everyone believe that it's normal. The effects are really good this episode. The demon they summon is awesome. This is becoming my new favorite show. Fuck GoT and the WD! (I didn't really mean that.)

Ash vs Evil Dead Season 1 Episode 2: Bait



















5 second plot: Ash wants to get the Book of the Dead translated so he can send the deadites back from where they came. Kelly's mom is back from the dead. But Ash thinks the deadites are playing a trick on them.

5 second review: There is an awesome amount of blood gushing in everyone's face this episode. It's hilariously disgusting. The team-up between Ash and the two youngsters is perfect. This second episode confirms the brilliance of the first one. As a fan of the genre, I'm a very happy camper.

Ash vs Evil Dead Season 1 Episode 1: El Jefe
















5 second plot: 30 years ago Ash had a run-in with some Deadites. Now these fuckers seem to be back. The world is counting on good old Ash to save the day. Since, well, he's the one that accidentally unleashed them again.

5 second review: Bruce Campbell is a natural born awesome guy. And this is a gloriously groovy episode. The effects are not always top notch, but it's still everything I hoped it would be. Lots of creepy looking Deadites, lots of blood, some heads chopped off (or blown off) and a whole lot of fun. The tone is just perfect. You have to be a bit of a fan of the genre to really enjoy it, but then again, you wouldn't be watching 'Ash vs Evil Dead' if you weren't.

Sicario will blow you away















5 second plot: Kate is an FBI team leader working for the kidnap response team. On one mission she stumbles upon a house filled with dead bodies. All killed by a Mexican drug cartel. She gets a chance to be a part of the task force that will bring down the men responsible for this massacre. But no-one told her this task force uses some very unconventional methods to get results.

5 second review: This is one hell of a great crime thriller. It's super tense. You get sucked right into the middle of the action. The performances are amazing. I was blown away. You know that this is a very unconventional team, but still these fuckers manage to do the unexpected.

Game of Thrones Season 5 Episode 9: The Dance of Dragons



















5 second plot: Stannis' army is not doing well, but there is a solution for all their problems. Jon and friends make it to the wall. Jaime and Bronn are lucky that prince Doran is a nice guy. Arya breaks character. Daenerys officially opens the fighting pit. The Sons of the Harpy strike again. But the mother of dragons strikes back.

5 second review: My god, is this the best show ever or what?! This is, again, an awesome episode. Everything about it is off the charts amazing. (Except for the fact that they burn a small child at the stake while mom and dad watch her screaming. Didn't really enjoy watching that.)

Game of Thrones Season 5 Episode 8: Hardhome
















5 second plot: Tyrion pleads his case to Daenerys. Cersei is still in prison, getting angrier by the minute. Arya gets a first assignment. Sansa finds out that her brothers are still alive. The Boltons prepare for battle. Ramsay's got a plan. Jon meets the rest of the wildlings. And shit hits the fan really hard in wildlingtown.

5 second review: Just as I was starting to wonder 'where the fuck are them white walkers?'... Well, here they are. It's like a zombie apocalypse. Awesome fights and very cool creatures. And it has only just begun. This is one of those must see episodes.

Kung Fury is my new favorite movie
















5 second plot: Get this. In 1985 Miami Kung Fury is the best cop in the world who got super kung-fu powers when he was hit by lightning and bit by a cobra. Now he's going back in time to kill kung fuhrer Hitler. But first he has to fight laser raptors as he goes too far back in time.

5 second review: This movie is so awesome, I didn't know where to look first. I just know I'm going to watch it over and over again. The running time of half an hour is perfect. This is my new favorite movie of all time. It's glorious.

Avengers: Age of Ultron is perfect



















5 second plot: Stark accidentally creates Ultron, an artificial intelligence that wants the Avengers dead. This is not an ordinary robot. It's super-advanced and the boys and girls of the Avenger-team get their asses kicked really bad. They will need help if they want to catch this bogey.

5 second review: This is why I love the movies. I never thought this second one would be as good as the first one. But it is. It's the same vibe: action-packed, fun and relaxed with a nice touch of good old Captain America values. I loved every minute of it.

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?

The Walking Dead Season 5 Episode 11: The Distance
















5 second plot: The group gets to meet Aaron. And he's got good news. He invites them all to come to his community. It's a safe place with big walls called Alexandria. Rick doesn't trust this guy one bit. His story just seems too good to be true.

5 second plot: What a great episode. New characters, new place, great action, awesome zombie-carnage and one off the charts cool flare-zombie. Rick is so on the edge, he could scare a grizzly bear shitless just by looking at it. The episode is presented to us in such a perfect way that we are hoping together with the characters for a 'normal life' but I must admit that even I am having second thoughts. You never can tell with this show.
