Game of Thrones Season 5 Episode 5: Kill the Boy

5 second plot: The Mother of Dragons shows everyone she's really pissed off. The Lord Commander releases the Wildlings and will open the gates for them. Sansa finds out she's got friends in the North. The Boltons realize Stannis is coming their way. Tyrion and his kidnapper run into some trouble.

5 second review: What a relief: an entire episode without Cersei. It's good to take a break from her from time to time. It looked as if miss Targaryen was taking her place violently killing off (possibly) innocent people. The wildlings are awesome. The Walkers are coming. Jon Snow is going to be ready. And I just know Sansa is going to make these fucking Boltons get it.

Tomorrowland does not use its full potential

5 second plot: There's a secret place where all the smartest people flocked together to create everything they could imagine, without all the boundaries of the world we live in. But now they've built something they shouldn't have and they need Casey to come fix it.

5 second review: This is one of those adventure stories that don't come around very often anymore. The action is cool fun but it takes a long time to get started. The story is too little about the wonders of Tomorrowland and too much about the failure of our world.

Hot Pursuit is a bit funny

5 second plot: When a drug lord is arrested policewoman Cooper is assigned to escort the wife of the witness to the court house. The witness is killed and Cooper, who takes her job very serious, tries to keep his wife safe and bring her in. But it seems that everyone is out to kill them.

5 second review: There's some good chemistry between the actors and the slapstick is a bit funny but overall this is a disappointment. Some dialogue is really terrible, it's all too convenient and it's a just too simple.

Maggie is not about the zombies

5 second plot: A big chunk of the world's population turned into zombies. Wade's daughter Maggie has been bitten as well. There's no cure. He takes her home to be with her the last weeks/days before she transforms.

5 second review: This is not a typical zombie movie. The infection is zombie-ish, but it's not about the infection. It's about a father who's taking care of his deadly sick daughter knowing that the end is near. Needless to say it's very very very sad. (And a bit boring.)

The Canal is a quiet little creeper

5 second plot: David is a film archivist who lives with his beautiful wife and son in an old house next to a canal. At work he stumbles upon police film footage from 1902 about a murder that took place in his house. And then very weird and terrible things start to happen.

5 second review: This is a quiet little scary Irish film. It’s not as mysterious as it pretends to be but they did a pretty good job creeping me out. So I guess: well done. 

IMDb score: 5,9/10

Mad Max: Fury Road is quite the thrill

5 second plot: The world has gone to shit. It's a complete wasteland. Humanity is screwed, basically. Max, Furiosa and a handful of supermodels are on the run from Immortan Joe, who wants his supermodels back. There are cars, we've got explosions and lots of freaky-ass looking people. Oh yeah, and a little bit of hope.

5 second review: I can't wrap my head around the fact that most critics really love this movie. It's not bad, but I don't think it's going to become a classic like the first Mad Max movies. It's a great action movie, but I'm not a big fan of the freak show. The fact that Max can't talk too much was good in the original movies, but not in this one. This puts him on a sideline, which is weird because the movie's got his name in the title.

Spooks: The Greater Good is much ado about nothing

5 second plot: A terrorist leader escapes in London. It was a CIA asset, but he was in an MI5 transport. The MI5 guy responsible for the transfer disappears. So the MI5 brings in Jon Snow to help them find him.

5 second review: There is a terrorist on the loose in London, but the main focus of the movie is a guy trying to save MI5's reputation. While this organisation is led by a bunch of a-holes. Fuck 'em. The only thing I like about this movie is the end sequence. It's actually worth the wait.

IMDb score: 6,3/10
Our score: 5/10

Game of Thrones Season 5 Episode 4: The Sons of the Harpy

5 second plot: Cersei flexes her muscles and shows the young queen not to mess with her. Littlefinger explains his plan to Sansa. He thinks the North will be hers soon enough. Jaime gets to his destination. And we get to meet Oberyn's killer daughters. Tyrion is kidnapped. The funny thing is: his kidnapper is taking him to where he was already going. The Sons of the Harpy terrorize the neighborhood again.

5 second review: Great stuff as always. But I am starting to wonder when we're going to see some supernatural stuff again. Or one of them big wolves.

Penny Dreadful Season 2 Episode 1-5

Ep 2: The team has an old language meeting. Satan's little helper is making plans to get to Vanessa. Victor's newest creation is a quick learner.
Ep 3: Vanessa  tells Ethan about the time she found out she is a daywalker with a lot of power. She's the one the master seeks above all.
Ep 4: Frankenstein goes dress shopping with Vanessa. Dorian plays a game of ping-pong. The evil witches are closing in on Vanessa. Sir Malcolm tries to solve the demon language puzzle.
Ep 5: Satan's little helpers are making voodoo dolls. The good guys (and girl) prepare for battle, Frankenstein falls in love with the bride. Ethan is questioned by the police. And everyone seems to be having sex.

5 second review: These first 5 episodes are as shocking as they are boring. There should be more action and less talking. The shocks alone won't keep me entertained. And killing a baby might be a little bit too much, by the way. The costumes and sets (with a little help from the visual effect friends) are gorgeous.

IMDb score: 8,2/10

We Are Monsters is cruel

5 second plot: A young woman is kidnapped by a group of cruel mass murderers who like to torture their victims before they kill them.

5 second review: This is not a good movie. It's quite terrible. But it does feature some very nasty and nauseating body horror. So if you're into that, you could probably survive the 1 h 14 m running time.
