M14Frodo's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Tarboy]

UNBELIEVABLE!

I think the 'evil corporate monstar' can be overdone sometimes but whatever gripings I have about that were blown away by the amazing art, fluid animation, and awesome music!

Tarboy has style and pizazz that I wish some more flash animations had this day. The quick pace is set by that seemingly cooky or crazy old grandfather whose obviously on a roll with his bedtime story for his (grandson?). The pace of this story works perfectly with the soundtrack and the artful presentation, if I had a paypal account you'd be seeing your bank going up right now (and I'm a college student).

The soundtrack breakdown into smooth jazz comes with perfect timing and you definately knew how to get the animation to follow its pace.

I give this animation a 10 and a 5 because, let's face it, if you didn't spend hours sitting and re-working details to make this near (if not) perfect, then you're obviously born with a gift and should pursue animation/acting. I can't wait to see any follow-ups, don't rush them and don't release them if you don't think it's good enough to surpass the glory that was Tarboy.

[Avatar Boredom Dub 10]

Awesome!

I love these! The first one's a bit slow but I can watch the rest of them over and over again!

[God & The Scientists]

Funny!

I thought there was going to be some huge philosophical point but it was simple, funny, and awesome!

[Cat Face ep.13]

Monorail Cat

Probably one of my favorite lolcats pics! Catface rules!

[Gamer Tonight - Zombie]

BRAAAAIIIIIINNNSSSS!!!

This movie made my day. The audio's good, the acting's awesome, the script: hilarious! and the animation was good! I give it a ten-out-of-ten for meeting my expectations and excelling past them from when I clicked play. I laughed especially hard at the t-shirt part.

["Strange Fruit"]

Understanding

The audio was good as well as the concept and what I could see of the art. I gave it an eight because I found it hard to see even with the brightness turned all the way up, but it's still an amazing flash.

Racism is a sad fact in the world and I don't think we'll ever make it go away. That's not the point though, the point is that it doesn't matter if you're black, asian, or whatever. White people are a race too, and we're all people. The only difference is where we are on the planet and how many of a particular race are around us.

Another thing I think people get confused is the difference between racism and steriotypes. Racism grows from the base of steriotypes but sterioypes themselves can be innocent and funny. For example, Newgrounds has many movies making fun of political, racial, sexual, etc. steriotypes. That doesn't mean everyone on Newgrounds is a political, racial, sexual, etc. bigot. I just feel that sometimes people take an extreme point of view at something which isn't there.

So let's all work for a better world were people are treated as equals with compassion and realistic understanding.

[Moon Groove]

Good stuff

I gave it an seven because I respect the time and effort that went into this but I found the fast-paced pixelation to hurt my head a little. I think you've got a lot of talent and definately a good future in flash movies if you keep making them. I remember Commander Keen as well, I didn't play it that much but my sister was hooked. Good job and keep up the good work!

[Castle Repercussions - A]

Epic.

I loved the castle series from part two onward... the first part has a good premace but I'd like to see you go back and redo it so that we could see it with your now awesome animation skills.

I love the feeling of these new episodes with the framed shots from their perspective, especially with the goggles and the cracks from the first-person view. These animations are a true wonder to anyone who has any appreciation for flash-movies and I feel that any zombie movie fan would love this series in particular. I'm hoping that although this is going to be a short series I hope you're inspired to make more continuations covering different angles of this world or others like it. I feel you have a real talent for capturing the feel of a dazed and lost soul in the middle of a hellish nightmare.

[Castle Repercussions - B]

AWESOME!

Although it's shorter than the one before it, I love the way you've done both of these. This is definately a pride to the stick-animation community as you've proven that stick animators are capable of amazing works of art with great graphics, sounds, and ideas!

I love the composure of the "shots" as well as the idea of this series to show various characters that were left behind after the blast. I'll have to go back and watch the old ones to see if I can remember who Lloyd was since he seems to be a crucial factor in all of this.
