Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters

5 second plot: H&G start killing witches from a very young age. Now they are all grown up and face their biggest challenge yet.

5 second review: Sometimes really bad CGI and often really stupid dialogue, but still a lot of fun, thanks to the entertainment value of the cast, the foul mouths and the kick ass bloody killings.

Resolution is really boring

5 second plot: Michael tries to save his friend Chris from a drug addiction by locking him up in a cabin for a week. But then strange stuff starts happening and someone is leaving them clues for one reason or another.

5 second review: I only got halfway through the picture. Is this boring or what? Jesus. And very poorly made and even more poorly acted. I couldn't care less about what was going to happen. Kill them already and be done with it.

The Following Season 1 Episode 1-7

5 second plot: A serial killer figures out a way to create a large group of 'followers'. These nut jobs will do anything he tells them to do. So he can even orchestrate his crazy plans from prison.

5 second review: Everyone I know loves this show, but I didn't connect with it. I only saw the first 7 episodes and then realized I didn't give a shit about what was going to happen. My biggest problem is the central bad guy. I don't like the way the character is set up. I'm not convinced. And by the way: this is the most wanted criminal in the country and he escapes 2 times in the first 7 episodes... Not cool.

Mama

5 second plot: Two little girls are left alone in the woods. They are found after five years. To survive they seem to have created an imaginary mother figure. Or not. Imaginary.

5 second review: They do not come darker than this movie. Holy craps, this one is so dark it's wicked to realize that someone had the balls to make it. Suck it, Harry Potter.

Gangster Squad is some piece of work

5 second plot: Mikey Cohen is a mob boss who wants to take over Los Angeles. A group of determined cops goes undercover to take him down.

5 second review: There is a lot to love about this movie: the dialogue, the sets, costumes, atmosphere, performances,... it's all very well done. It gets pretty violent, but it's also light and funny at the same time. And let us not forget Emma Stone. Wow.

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey is everything it's supposed to be

5 second plot: A hobbit, a wizard and a bunch of dwarfs are going on a dangerous adventure to kick the evil fire dragon Smaug out of the dwarf kingdom in the Lonely Mountain.

5 second review: It's quite incredible how Peter Jackson always delivers what the world expects of him, even if expectations are unbelievably high. And the stakes as well. For me, there are several moments that I don't like, mostly the big CGI scenes like the one with the trolls. But overall, it's a great adventure.

IMDb score: 8/10
Our score: 8/10

Silent Night is very decent

5 second plot: A killer Santa selects a quiet little town to go and kill a bunch of people. And he likes to kill spectacularly. The local cops are on his tail but they don't really have the expertise to deal with this kind of psycho.

5 second review: This is a very decent slashermovie! It surprised me very much. If you are a fan of classic slashers, where blood seems to fly all over the place, this is a must see for you. Nice job. I don't understand why the IMDb score is so low. Probably because, for most people, it's not okay to fuck with Santa.
