Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter,... and Spring is interesting

5 second plot: A young boy lives in a remote (floating) temple. He wants to become a monk just like his master. But he's got a long way to go and a lot of things to learn. We follow the story of the choices he makes and the paths he takes.

5 second review: If you're into ancient wisdom and Eastern symbolism, this movie is definitely for you. If you're not, you will find the first half comprehensible, but you will have difficulties with the second half. Apart from that, it's an interesting view on growing up, making mistakes and taking responsibility.

Spirited Away is a beauty

5 second review: Chihiro accidentally ends up in another world. This world is crowded with strange creatures. The leader is a (sort of) evil witch. To survive, Chihiro has to work in the bath house. She also has to find a way to get back home. But that's going to be a tough one. Luckily she's got a very big and warm heart to help her find her way.

5 second review: I don't know anyone with such a fantastic imagination as Hayao Miyazaki. How in the world does he do it? He must have amazing dreams. This is a beautiful story brought to life in beautifully detailed animation.

Monsters, Inc. is happy feel good

5 second plot: To power up their world, monsters have to scare kids. Because the screams are like fuel. One day a kid accidentally enters their world. And that's a big no no. Now the best team in monsterworld, Sulley and Mike, have to figure out how to resolve this problem.

5 second review: Funny, suspenseful, feel good, great story and magically drawn (well, maybe not really drawn). An amazing movie. For all ages. Well, maybe mostly for kids.

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.

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.
