Amores perros is heavy shit

5 second plot: This movie is actually three movies in one. The stories come together in a car crash scene. There are two forbidden young lovers. The girl is the boy's sister-in-law. There is the gorgeous famous young woman who 'steals' a family man from his wife. She gets hurt badly in the crash. And then there is the dog whisperer. He's like a hobo with a shotgun. And it's all going down in Mexico City.

5 second review: Is this depressing or what? My god, there does not seem to be very much light at the end of the tunnel. I like to be left with an entertained feeling after a movie, not with a feeling a truck just ran over me. But a whole bunch of people really really like this film very much, so I will shut up about it.

IMDb score: 8,2/10

In The Mood For Love requires one's complete attention

5 second plot: A young man and a young woman who live next to each other both think their spouses are cheating on them. They spend a lot of time together trying to understand what is going on. But in doing so they dangerously balance on the thin line of taking it too far themselves.

5 second review: What a beautiful picture. The camera work is pure art. And that recognizable tune... There is an-artist-that-knows-what-he's-doing at work here. If you are a romantic soul, this movie is to die for.

IMDb score: 8,1/10

Requiem for a Dream freaked me out

5 second plot: Four pretty normal people get sucked into a world of drug abuse. It's starts with some innocent fun, but their world spirals completely out of control when their appetite for more and more drugs becomes unstoppable.

5 second review: I didn't feel too good after seeing this movie. It doesn't happen very often that a film has that effect on me. And that's an amazing accomplishment. This is one crazy picture. It's amazing that someone took a chance to release it. No way the director, cinematographer and editor weren't totally wasted themselves while making the movie. You can't fake flipping out like that.
