Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues is a blast

5 second plot: Our favorite news anchorman is back. Well, first he gets fired and ends up with his personal and professional life all screwed up. But then he grabs a chance to present the news on a 24 hour news channel: GNN. The first thing he does, is get his old team back together. Next up: be the best news team on the planet.

5 second review: After the first twenty minutes I thought I had found Valhalla. These 20 mts are funny beyond imagination. But after that it slows down a bit. Still really good and totally over the top funny, but not legen - wait for it - dary. It's a crazy blast from the past. With more cameos from famous people than I have ever seen in my life.

Her is a beauty

5 second plot: In a near future, Theodore buys a new state of the art self-learning artificial intelligence operation system. And he falls madly in love with her. And she with him. You can imagine this is not an easy love. But there is a first for everything.

5 second review: Man, there is a lot of talking in this movie. Thank god it's Scarlett Johansson's sexy voice. I wouldn't mind an operating system like that, no sir. The story is beautiful but sad with a lot of ups and the same amount of downs. It's mostly for romantic souls. Or fans of Scarlett's voice.

How I Met Your Mother Season 9 Episode 13: Bass Player Wanted

5 second plot: Marshall finally arrives. So does the mom. She is there to perform with a band. Apparently the lead singer is an evil guy trying to make best friends argue. So there's a lot of arguing. But Ted sets him straight and kicks his ass.

5 second review: I didn't like the arguing, this is supposed to be a fun show. Not much going on besides the arguing. It is pretty cool how everyone meets the mom before Ted does. But besides that there does not seem to be a whole lot of inspiration to keep it interesting, oi?

Saving Mr. Banks is just lovely

5 second plot: Walt Disney wanted to bring Mary Poppins to the big screen. In order to do that, he had to convince her creator, P.L. Travers, that he was the right man for the job. This is the story of him trying to convince her, while she goes back to her childhood to remember where the idea was born.

5 second review: It is as warm and funny as it is sad and tragic. But at the end, it's mainly the warm feeling that remains. It's a great story. And it builds up magically to the point where the writer's 'real' Mary Poppins appears. I'm not sure where to put this on the 'true story'-scale, but that's quite all right.

The Big Bang Theory Season 7 Episode 11: The Cooper Extraction

5 second plot: Sheldon is with his family in Texas for the birth of his nephew. The others imagine what life would be like without him. It wouldn't always be better, so it seems.

5 second review: A great last episode of the year. Sheldon in an uncomfortable situation, Penny steaming hot, Howard shouting at his mom,... great fun.

America Unearthed Season 2 Episode 3: Great Wall of Texas

5 second plot: In the 1850's a couple of farmers found a giant wall in their backyard (in the ground). Forensic geologist Scott Wolter tries to figure out if this wall is man made or a natural phenomenon. If it is man made, it will change American history as we know it.

5 second review: Man, this is an exciting show. The stakes are really high, aren't they? If they really find proof of the thing they would like to prove, it shakes things up. What I don't like in TV series like these, is the repetition. If you have to repeat everything you say 20 times, maybe you don't have enough material to fill an hour's worth.

Khumba misses its target

5 second plot: Khumba is a young zebra with only half a set of stripes. His herd thinks he will bring them bad luck. And sure enough, a little bit later, it stops raining. Khumba goes on a quest to find a magical pond to get himself a full set of stripes.

5 second review: This should be a fun movie. Just look at the trailer: that was the idea, right? Why oh why, then, is there so much melodrama in here combined with too much scary stuff and life lessons no kid can understand without an adult explaining it to him/her? A little bit of a miss-fire this one...

The Last Days on Mars is not a complete disaster

5 second plot: A team of researchers is looking for life on Mars. On their last day they make a big discovery but it's not the friendly green men they were expecting.

5 second review: The first half hour of this movie is pretty decent. But then it goes down the shitter. I kept wondering how great it could have been. Everything is okay, even the special effects, but the chills and thrills are just not working. And why oh why are they focusing on Lieb Schreiber's trauma? It has got nothing to do with the story.

Inside Llewyn Davis is heavy shit

5 second plot: The guy from the title is a struggling folk singer in New York in the '60s. He's a good singer but he can't get his musical career off the ground. His personal life is a big mess. He doesn't even have a place to live. And he ends up fighting with everyone he loves.

5 second review: It's probably magical art that the bros are creating here. But for me it was mostly a whole lot of strange stuff flying around. This movie is really well made and beautifully acted, but they could have thrown us a bone, you know? It's not about entertaining the audience for them. It's about doing whatever they want.

Out of the Furnace is all about the character

5 second plot: Two brothers are living a tough life. But they manage.The youngest one takes a turn in the wrong direction and meets the wrong crowd. His brother tries to keep him safe but he can't stop him from doing stupid (and dangerous) things.

5 second review: That's some seriously thorough character study before shit hits the fan. And shit only hits the fan very briefly. It's like an alien film where you just get a glimpse of the aliens at the end. That's often better than all the aliens up front. A very deep, tough, moving picture about brotherly love. And looking out for one another. Amazing performances by everyone involved: the good, the bad (and the ugly).
