M14Frodo's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Red Riding Hood]

Disturbing

Just as the title suggests, I've always found this flash animation disturbing. If nothing else that's a testament to the animation's power.

The twist at the end surprised me, especially after the build up with the iron corset which implies that she became strong.
I think the part I find the most disturbing isn't that the wolf won, but that the wolf made her eat her mother's flesh. I liked the way you had the animals worn her of it though, very much returning to the traditions of fairy tales.

The only real problem I have with this (other than the unhappy ending, I like happy endings...) is the overmodulation in the dialogue. Not a big thing, just bothers me a bit. All in all, excellent work!

[The New Guy]

Hilarity in flash form!

Again, your art style of drawing amazes me along with your creativity.

The ending is kind of slow and sometimes I don't wait for this animation to completely finish when I watch it. On the other hand, that gives it a full circle attitude of the usual work enviroment. Being in boring meetings and telling your wife about it when you get home.

Honestly though, "LET ME DIIIIIEEEE!!!!" gets me every time.

[The Icecream Machine]

The Cold Truth

Out of all the things to create as a nemesis for a man versus technology scenerio, an ice cream machine. Brilliant.

I think we all the know how it feels to go up to some form of vending machine and not get the ice cream, soda, snack that we desire soo bad. It's obvious that we're willing to fight for it too, because we paid for that stupid item and thus we deserve it. Hit the front, scream at it... hope a janitor with a key is near by. Sometimes I'm almost convinced it's just a ploy to get you to buy another to get the first to drop...

At any rate I love the animation style, and the entertaining dialogue. Very few flash artists are able to capture attention with primarily dialogue. You managed it beautifully.

[B&W Drama Theater #13]

Animated Farside

This is easily my favorite animation in this series. I've always enjoyed the cruel ironies and puns which you've put throughout the episodes. You managed to continue to be funny in a creative fashion that escapes many flash artists.

I think a true testiment to the creativity is the way you manage to put down an opening plot, bring us to a completely situation, loop that situation to have a twist, and then return to the initial plot and show how it all fits together. I never knew a box named Alan could be soo funny. I salute you sir.

[Shoo Fly]

Art

Watching this flash I was amazed. The art, interface, and creativity were brilliant to say the least.

You managed to make all the elements of the music blend perfectly to your vision of the frustration that is an unwanted fly. When the music was subtle, so was the matching imagery. Not to mention the beautiful skill in your artwork. This is the first animation to inspire me to get an account here, and I'm talking about since the days of Joe Zombie. Please, keep up the good work.
