alxmrg's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Lemn]

Awesome

Good, and it IS front page good. Nice minimalist style, and great bait-and-switch ending. Good job.

[Robotic Octopus Snowman]

Stunning

Great visuals, and amazing in its simplicity. The brevity really makes the oddity digestible-- good job. Merry Christmas.

[These Pancakes Are Tiny]

Pretty good

Pretty good-- especially the color scheme and animation style. But the conversationalist humor (without many overt jokes) would better suit a long-running series with more character development. It's sort of like watching Home movies, but like fifteen episodes in. Or maybe like watching the last season of Family Guy without having seen any of the other seasons.

But it's still good.

I totally agree with you man. I'd love to do something where I could build up my characters more in an episodic format, but time just won't permit it right now. I kind of wanted a certain level of ambiguity with these characters though. Like, you're not quite sure who they are ( I didn't even have them call each other by name [They do, in fact, have names]) or what their history is, but you're thrown into this situation with them where you experience a slice of their every day life. As I said though, I'd love to do some kind of series in the future, but I'm pretty busy with school right now. Thanks for the great review.

[Badass Gladiator Rage]

Pretty ridiculous--

Badass, sure. But too much like a Bourne Identity fight-- I couldn't really see what was going on. Regardless, good job.

[The Greatest Idea Ever!]

Good

The novelty of the joke wore off pretty quickly, then it sort of dragged through the middle...but props for creating something with some coherence and nod toward intellectualism.

And if we DO create a black hole massive enough to be self-sustaining, thus destroying the world...well, would we care? We'd all be dead fairly quickly.

Plus, being destroyed in a black hole is probably the best way to die. Beats drowning, anyway.

[Pen License]

Excellent

I really loved this-- terribly odd, and ends at exactly the right moment without dragging on.

Quoting yourself-- also a plus.

[Bad Hair]

Perfect (almost)

I love the high-framed animation, even with the bare-bones look. Ren + Stimpyesque look, and pretty flawless comedic timing. My only objection are the few obvious technical errors here and there-- where I'm made quite aware of where the separate objects are and how they are attached. Great job!

[Dog Of Man]

One-trick pony?

Derivative. Weird for the sake of being weird. The one saving grace of this cartoon is the classic David Firth animation style, but really, far too self-conscious for my tastes. Time to try something new, as this is getting a bit stale.

Don't get me wrong, I like much of your other work, but this is pretty redundant.

[Chris & Harry]

Awesome

Really great, if a little too long.

And who doesn't like coconut???!
