The Counselor really got on my nerves

5 second plot: A lawyer (the counselor) gets entangled in a drug deal that goes wrong. The organisation losing the money is looking for someone to blame. And they are looking in his direction. Among others.

5 second review: There is way too much dialogue in this movie. The characters are speaking but don't care about what they are saying. They're simply speaking to cover up the fact that the movie isn't going anywhere. There are some memorable scenes, so there definitively was potential, but it wasn't put to good use.

Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa is sweet

5 second plot: Billy's mom has to go to prison. She asks his granddad to bring him across the country to his dad. On their little road trip Billy and his granddad have one adventure after another. The nastiest one is a fart that blows up on the wall of a diner.

5 second review: I normally really hate these punk'd sketches, but Johnny Knoxville is such a sweet guy, that it's all really funny without taking it too far. And the kid... djeezes, where did they find him? He's amazing, it's like a grown up in a small kid's body.

The African Americans: Many Rivers To Cross Season 1 Episode 1: The Black Atlantic

5 second plot: This first episode covers the history of African Americans from the year 1500  to 1800. During this period slavery was introduced in America. The amount of Africans that were brought to America as slaves during this period was enormous.

5 second review: I don't think I have ever seen a documentary about the history of African Americans. It's a very educational, interesting, well produced mini-series.

Ravenswood Season 1 Episode 1: Pilot

5 second plot: A boy and a girl are drawn to a place called Ravenswood. They find out that the town has a dark history and they seem to have been part of it. They find obituaries of themselves from a hundred years ago.

5 second review: They kind of skipped the intro there, didn't they? It seems like a really great idea but I'm not interested at all in the second episode. That can't be good.

The Walking Dead Season 4 Episode 2: Infected

5 second plot: The boy that got sick and died AND turned into a zombie starts biting people. A big panic breaks out, lots of people die and the zombie killing musketeers need to step in and save the day. Even Rick pitches in. Other people start feeling sick (like the boy). That can't be good.

5 second review: Lots of gore, some chills, some thrills and everybody is losing it. What's not to love?

Paradise is pretty shitty

5 second plot: This is the story of a girl who grew up in a very strict Christian community. She got severely burned in a plane crash and lost her faith (in god, that is). So now she's off to Las Vegas to find whatever the hell she's looking for. There, she meets some new friends.

5 second review: Seriously, I was sure she was going to kill herself in the end. (But no worries, she doesn't.) What a depressing movie. And what in god's name is it about? About nothing, really. And it's totally not funny. How can this be a comedy?

Escape Plan is dumb fun

5 second plot: Sly plays a guy who his hired to escape from prisons (as a way to evaluate the facilities). He gets put in a super-maximum security prison (Arnie is also there). And then he gets framed so now everyone thinks he is a real inmate.

5 second review: It is definitately a requirement to switch off your brain before watching this movie, because otherwise you will be annoyed. But if the switch is off, you will have fun with this basic action movie.

Big Ass Spider is not bad at all

5 second plot: Well, what can I say? There is a big ass spider on the loose and it is very hungry. The military, but more importantly exterminator Alex and his security friend Jose, are trying to stop it before it kills... everyone.

5 second review: This movie is pretty funny actually. The big special effects are very low budget of course, but the actors seem to be having a ball. And the fun they are having is catchy.

Reign Season 1 Episode 1: Pilot

5 second plot: Set in the mid 16th century, it's the story of Mary, Queen of Scots. Who is staying in France and meets her future husband.

5 second review: It drives me crazy that someone chooses France as a location for a TV show and then has everyone speaking English without any explanation. And frikkin' Nostradamus is in there. Also speaking English. I only saw 7 minutes and turned it off. I am kind of curious what I missed, but I was more scared of it sucking so hard I would want to fling something at the TV.

The Walking Dead Season 4 Episode 1: 30 Days Without An Incident

A crew goes out to look for stuff, a roof collapses on them and one of them gets killed. So far for the 30 days. Inside the prison a pig gets sick and dies. Not long after that a young boy dies as well.
