Predestination pushes every boundary in the book

5 second plot: A time travelling agent has been looking for a bomber (one that will blow up half of New York) all his life. Now he's on his final mission. This mission starts by listening to a guy that walks into a bar.

5 second review: I'm not even going to try to tie the knots on this one. The person that came up with this story is either brilliantly smart or nuts beyond comprehension. It's awesome. If you're looking for a complex story that will knock you off your feet, this is the one you want to see. It will blow your mind. And to say I was very skeptical at first about the stupid looking time travelling device... Boy, was I wrong...

The Babadook isn't very scary after all

5 second plot: A single mom is struggling with her difficult son. He is fixated on a scary monster that visits him mostly at night. Things get really out of hand. Of course his mom doesn't believe him. That is until she experiences some strange stuff herself.

5 second review: It takes a very long time for this party to get started. The idea is probably to build the tension up slowly. But for me it took too long. Lots of people say this is the scariest movie of the year but I have to disagree. Some things will stick with me for a long time (that voice: BA BA DOOOOOK) but not enough scary stuff happens to let it all stick.

Two and a Half Men Season 12 Episode 5: Oontz, Oontz, Oontz

5 second review: The pretty (single) social worker asks the guys if they would be interested in adopting a 6 year old boy named Louis. Walden gets really excited and buys half the toy store. The kid doesn't open up immediately. But then he finds a soul-mate in Berta.

5 second review: Well, it's official. Jake's out. He even gets a (hilarious) best of goodbye sequence. It's a good call to go for a cute 6-year-old. That way they fast forward to the funnier years. Because Alan and Walden with a baby would have been too much slapstick and too little smart ass.

Penguins of Madagascar do what they do best

5 second plot: Skipper, Kowalski, Rico and Private are penguins with amazing skills. Together they can take on the world. For this adventure they team up with The North Wind to stop an evil octopus named Dave.

5 second review: It's not that I laughed my ass off from beginning to end, but there is some very original funny stuff happening throughout the movie. A lot of this funniness is already in the trailer, but luckily it's repeat-viewing-proof.

Horrible Bosses 2 brings it home

5 second plot: The guys are done working for a boss and decide to start a business of their own. They invent a shower-thing but almost immediately get screwed over by their first business partner. They decide to kidnap his son and get their money back. But not everything goes as planned.

5 second review: I didn't think this was going to be a funny movie. Not in a million years. But it is. You have to love stupid jokes that you've probably seen a million times already. I laughed my ass off. If you're not sure, just give the movie 10 minutes. If you crack up, you'll love it. If you don't, you'll hate it.

Serena is textbook drama

5 second plot: It's 1929. George has got a big timber company. He falls madly in love with Serena and marries her. Their life is perfect and they decide to have a kid. But the pregnancy doesn't go as planned. And then it all falls to pieces.

5 second review: Great performances and amazing cinematography, but what a heartbreaking story. This is drama pur sang. It can't get any more drama than this. And they don't shy away from the fact that there was no Greenpeace back in the day. Chopping trees and looking for panthers to kill...

Laggies is not a good title

5 second plot: Megan feels disconnected from the world around her. Her best friends don't get her jokes anymore, her dad cheats on her mom and her boyfriend asks her to marry him. She snaps and decides to take a week 'off'. Luckily she recently got a new friend where she can stay.

5 second review: This is a basic romantic comedy. The first part of the movie (the set-up) is terrible. But then all of a sudden Sam Rockwell enters the room and the movie comes alive. So the middle part is okay. The final part is way too much drama and too little comedy but it all turns out well in the end. One more thing though: what's up with that horrible title?

IMDb score; 6,8/10

Reach Me is happy feel good

5 second plot: A mystery man writes a motivational book that inspires a lot of people to drastically (but positively) turn their lives around. Somehow the stories of all these totally different people intertwine and result in everyone helping each other out one way or another.

5 second review: You have to be a sucker for happy go lucky stuff to like this movie. If you're not, stay away from it. There are a lot of characters and every single one of them seems to be a familiar face. Why did all these famous people want to be in this movie? They're probably all suckers for happy go lucky stuff. Sly gets a bit overexcited but overall this is a nicely filmed, loose, cool movie with decent performances.

The Walking Dead Season 5 Episode 7: Crossed

5 second plot: Our favorite group of survivors reinforces the church and then most of them are off to save Carol and Beth. They have a plan, but the people they are taking on are seriously clever. Meanwhile the group that was on its way to Washington is trying to keep it together. That is not going well for Abraham.

5 second review: I like Tara's way of dealing with the set-back. She's getting all smart ass funny. Gabriel's wining was getting on my nerves at first, but then all of a sudden he's up to something. That's interesting. It would be nice to see our good people catch a break in the near future. They try again and again to trust other people. And they always end up screwed. Special zombies of the week: stuck zombies and melted zombies.

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 is a stretch

5 second plot: Katniss is now in District 13, where the rebels are hiding underground. They need support from all the other districts to have a winning chance at fighting the Capitol. To unite all districts Katniss becomes the face of the rebellion: the mockingjay.

5 second review: I know it's easy to say this 'Part 1' is too slow, but it's pretty obvious there was only enough story for one movie and it's been stretched out to make two. However, there is still a lot going on and a lot of cool stuff to be seen. And I am a big sucker for this powerful rebel spirit: people who have lost everything but still believe in the cause, because it's a just one. So I'm looking forward to the grand finale. But I think future viewers will watch all four movies back to back. And they will definitely be complaining about the stretched out third one.
