Marvel One-Shot: Agent Carter

5 second plot: The girlfriend of Captain America (who crashes and disappears in the beginning of this one-shot) is assigned to some sort of secret agency where they don't give her any chances because she is a woman. But then she takes on a difficult 5-man job on her own. And off she goes.

5 second review: This is a full length movie nicely tucked in a 10 minute short. With a 5 minute end credit! Great work and great vibe, but isn't this a bit overshooting for a short?

Masters of Sex Season 1 Episode 1: Pilot

5 second plot: Set in 1956, this is the story of a scientist and his assistant, who started researching human sexuality and all its complexities. Very progressive for that time. The study they published started a sexual revolution.

5 second review: There is a bit of sexual tension, but it's more the scientific one. The title of the show is (of course) a tad misleading. It's not like True Blood sex. Personally, I was already a bit bored halfway through the pilot, so I don't think I will be following up on this one.

The Blacklist Season 1 Episode 1: Pilot

5 second plot: A (very much) wanted criminal suddenly turns himself in to the FBI. He helps them prevent a chemical bombing of a crowded zoo. He has an entire list of criminal masterminds they can capture. With his help.

5 second review: I like the spy stuff. And his criminal mastermind. And her back story. This pilot really intrigued me. I think I will follow up on this one a little longer. Who would have thought that James Spader would ever do anything that would get my attention. I couldn't have guessed that in a million years.

Hostages Season 1 Episode 1: Pilot

5 second plot: The family of a doctor is taken hostage. She has to kill the president during a scheduled surgery or her family will be killed.

5 second review: It's way too much drama and too little action for me but I must say I kinda want to know what happens next. But I am not looking forward to a stretched out 10 episodes which could had been a normal sized movie.

How I Met Your Mother Season 9 Episode 1-2: The Locket

5 second plot: Everyone is coming from different directions with all possible transportation methods to get to Barney and Scherbatsky's wedding. Lily wins the grand prize for picking the best ride-along. Yep, it's her alright.

5 second review: Smart, funny, light, pretty, exciting,... how is it possible to put all that into one show? I don't know how they do it, but it's done. I must say I really missed the bastards.

Mom Season 1 Episode 1: Pilot

5 second plot: This is the story of Christy, a single mom that had a rough life up until now. Well, it's actually not really improving. But anyway, it seems to be a blast to have a shitty life like that. For the viewers anyway.

5 second review: I really can't say yet if this is going to be good or not. This pilot started off horribly unfunny, but gradually became funnier as more and more information was provided about the life of our mom and also as more and more characters were introduced. There are some interesting elements there, that's for sure.

Breaking Bad Season 5 Episode 15: Granite State

5 second plot: Walter is taken to a remote location to lay low for a while. He meets Saul along the way. He also decided to take a hike. Jesse almost escapes, but then the crazy criminal crew take him down even harder. On the bright side: the meth quality is doing very well.

5 second review: The fans will still be pleased. This is - again - a great episode. I must say I'm still secretly hoping Walter will outsmart everyone and save Jesse in the progress, but my hope is not up very high. But no matter what: pretty please, with a cherry on top, don't fuck it up. (Or we'll give Todd a call.)

Thanks for Sharing is really sweat

5 second plot: This is the story of a couple of guys (and one girl) that are addicted to sex. They are trying to get their shit together so they can live their lives as normal as possible. But it's not easy, not even for the old timers.

5 second review: It's all about interrelations. Between new guy and sponsor, between son and father, between addict and new girlfriend, between first timer and first timer,... and it's beautifully melted into one story.

IMDb score: 6,4/10
Our score: 8/10

Prisoners takes its time

5 second plot: Two little girls disappear all of a sudden. The parents think they were abducted. The prime suspect is released quickly because there is too little evidence. The father of one of the girls takes matters in his own hands and locks him up. He tortures him to get answers. But is he asking the right guy?

5 second review: Extremely fine acting, there's no doubt about that. The movie takes a whole lot of time to get somewhere. It's all part of the deal, I know, but they could have speeded up things just a bit. Because now it takes forever. That adds to the tension, but also adds to the drag.

Generation Iron does not bring its best game

5 second plot: This is a documentary about bodybuilding. We get a chance to see behind the scenes while the best of the best prepare to become Mr. Olympia.

5 second review: If you're a fan of the sport it will be cool to see all these huge popular guys and their different training methods. The subject is really cool, but the movie isn't. It's really poorly made. Even the background music is just totally ridiculous. It doesn't look legendary at all. And it should.
