Wet Hot American Summer is just for fun

5 second plot: It's the last day at a summer camp in the 80's in wet hot America. It's a story about love and friendship. A story not bothered by any logic or structure what so ever. It's just for shits and giggles.

5 second review: This is experimental funny stuff. It doesn't work all the time and it was not always my cup of tea. But there will definitely be an audience for this. And they will find it hilarious. I heard that Anna Kendrick is a fan. She's probably right. There is no doubt that everyone involved had a lot of fun making this film.

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.

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.

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.

Galaxy Quest is a joy

5 second plot: The crew members of a TV-show space ship have to play their roles for real to save a kind alien race from destruction.

5 second review: It's a fun lovin' take on TV science fiction. It's not really a spoof like Hot Shots!, it takes itself serious. And that makes it lovely. But I think you have to be a science fiction fan to really enjoy this. And if you like cult sci-fi, it's even better.

IMDb score: 7,3/10

Dogma contains a lot of words

5 second plot: Let me see if I get this straight. Two angels who were kicked out of heaven figure out a way to get back in. The only problem is that if they do that, everything will seize to exist. Everything. So a whole bunch of biblical figures and heavenly humans try to stop them.

5 second review: For starters: it's a bad title. Secondly: Silent Bob doesn't talk very well with his eyes. Thirdly: there's too many words for one movie. But the movie as a whole is simply a must see phenomenon. I just can't figure out whether Kevin Smith is a genius making this movie or just nuts. He sure did convince a bunch of big names to partake in his little adventure.

Princess Mononoke is deep man

5 second plot: Ashitaka is a young prince that saves his village from a forest demon. In doing so he touched the demon and now he is cursed. He's got a small chance to find a cure but to do so he has to travel to a far away forest and have a little word with some gods and spirits.

5 second review: Beautiful, that comes closest to describing this movie. The story is very mythical and feels ancient. But it also feels genuine. And strange. It's difficult not to get instructions on what's right and wrong all the time.

Festen looks like crap

5 second review: On a man’s 60th birthday party a horrible family secret is revealed.

5 second review: I don't give a shit that it is Dogme-approved, it looks like crap! Just terrible. The fact that an entire room full of people decides to ignore the horrible truth, made my heart skip a beat. And then a racist song. And everyone sings along. It made me boil with anger. So the movie might have looked like crap, it sure did touch a nerve.

Gattaca is too artificial

5 second plot: In a not too distant future Vincent has taken the identity of Jerome. Vincent wants to go to space. But he is not ‘superior’ enough to be even taken into consideration. He has to go through serious lengths to get to where he wants to be.

5 second review: The sci-fi-part of this movie is not all that impressive. It might be a futuristic world, but we don’t get to see very much of it. This world feels empty and artificial. What I do like very much about this movie are the people that are in it. The characters have been worked out really well and the acting is top shelf.

Seinfeld Season 9 isn't an ideal goodbye

5 second plot: George starts working for a company where nobody cares about anything. It's a perfect fit. The gang goes to a wedding in India. Reversed. Kramer's coffee table book is optioned for a movie. He retires. Elaine eats a 60 year old cake, worth $29000. Jerry starts sleeping with his maid. But then she stops cleaning. So what's he paying her for?

5 second review: There are a couple of legendary (crazy bonkers) episodes in this final season that you just have to see. But you can skip the final two episodes. Their added value is 0. It must have been a lot of fun for the creators, but not for the fans.
