Senilek's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Sonic Shorts: Volume 3]

hahaha

nice job guys. this was well done and really funny! I loved all the parts with eggman. so hilarious. and the part with the cat and frog, totally random but i loved it. The animation and graphics all looked pretty good, and the voices and sounds used were all perfect too.
....COME PLAY WITH ME......
make more!

[Ovaltine FIEND]

Nothing special..

Honestly, it was good for maybe a quick chuckle, but it's nothing hilarious. The graphics were good but there wasnt much animating needed, the voice acting was alright(at times unclear) but the idea was just crap.
It was so predictable and this kind of thing has been done endlessly on Newgrounds for commercial/any spoofs.
it was okay but I don't think it deserves the front page. It's just not that good enough, but then again NG has been letting crap on the front page so.
work more on the animating part, and with better ideas you'll do better.

[Poor Joshua Verde]

it was enjoyable

Wow, that was one of the best thought out clay animations I've seen on Newgrounds. It had a solid storyline, very universal. The music that was used was a good choice.
The claymation/stop motion was well done, and i was impressed how you incorporated flash animation into the stop motioned environments(it doesn't seem impossibly hard, but would take some planning) I will admit some of it was ugly: i dunno if that was intentional but like it seemed the faces were gross instead of pleasant looking. Although it made the story that more darker, and made the viewer feel more wonder about the death theme. You made a really good movie out of this. While I can think of numerous ways to make this spectacular, it was still really good and the concept and effort put into this, certainly made it worthwhile watching.

[Brawl is here!]

amusing..

It was hilarious how ridiculously cheery he was. BEST DAY EVER! duhrrr And then the typical random death scene at the end...i was waiting for when that would happen...you drew it out for a while, but then it hit and i was relieved.
Something about the modd of this flash was very awkward.. You succeeded with that creepy HAPPYINESS aura that is virtually present in almost all typical goody-good musicals.
Good animation, the graphics were decent enough. The sound and music all worked well, kept me interested. And the ending took it all home.
Sad he didn't get to play smash brawl though...does this mean you hatin' against the fanatics who want the game? well, I can't wait to play it myself...heh..heh. good work. oh, and was that spongebob?

[Short Flash about Bill M.]

Great leadup...and then....dissapointed.

Most movies today suffer from what your flash just failed at. A satisfying end...

Dude, let me just say. The beginning certainly draws you in, even though the robotic voices are quite uninteresting, and animation is minimal. You still had a great concept. Bill Murray, mental illness? Genius. And then the part where he proves he is Bill Murray, totally caught me off guard. That was well done, i must say. Let me just include this, "The Fountain" soundtrack by Clint Mansell was amaazzing. As obviously proven in this flash, making it EPIC.
Now, the ending. Simply saying "and that was the story of the man who thought he was Bill Murray" TOTALLY LAME. LAME, LAME LAME. You should've had a follow up of what his friends thought, their reactions to this epic reveal. That would've been a far more satisfying ending than just AND THAT WAS IT.. That slightly pisses me off, but it was a good flash anyway. The animation and sound wasn't anything special though..so i'm basing my grade mainly on how it was conceptualized and the payoff. Good job nonetheless.

[The Pen is Mightier...]

the pen IS mightier...

You obviously proved the title... by your great use of music and animation together. The stick figures were awfully crude, but they were a good contrast to the well drawn and animated sequence of the traveling bullet. At first, it was very unappealing and boring, but as the music became more intense and the more elaborate the animation worked with the music, it got better.
I guess there's not much more to say after that, it was just interesting. It wasn't amazing, but it was still worth a watch and had a good message in the end. Nice work.

[Pass-my-Flash 2]

very good

Now, THIS actually looked like it had continuity. Your last effort was good but lacking several things that made this one far more superior.
such as the color and great animation throughout, it had flow. It worked with the music better than the first one I think also. I liked how each artist had their unique touch, and I liked their work all equally. Really great job! Hope there are many more to come. :-)

[Pass-my-Flash 1]

It was a neat idea....

Certainly something cool to see...different artists pass along a flash. I dunno...I didn't get the sense that everything connected, it just seemed like each artist drew random situations, it didnt really FLOW from one to the other if you know what i mean. not until the ending with the bunny and rockets at least.
It was good, but they were simple line drawings which didn't really look that great...it wouldve been better if it was colored. Good music choice though. it was still entertaining.

[The Plumber]

bringing mario to reality....

That was an interesting concept. Mario in real life as a plumber and then when given a shroom, made him go all trippy(as if he was on one of his adventures!)
This was interesting because...you were comparing mario's adventures to a complete acid trip, i know the mushrooms made him all crazy, but that's an idea I got from watching this.
It was kinda weird seeing mario in a serious flash, where he didn't smile and didn't like his job. you're obviously talented with flash. The file size was quite big though..so i had a long wait.
In any case, good work and hope to see more.

Haroshi responds:

The file size is pretty good for a flash that's 7 minutes long to be honest. =P

[I want to die :)]

ok....kinda lame...

So the whole joke of this movie seemed to be the dancing guy.
Making fun of thh whole waking up part was slightly but not nearly that amusing, and the dancing guy and sound clip just kept getting annoying.
The whole death thing was just random and nonsensical.

You know what I thought of when I was watching this movie? Banana Phone. yea, you know...that video has the concept of "old song that gets annoying, causes people to go crazy even to the point of dying." In this you seemed to borrow the idea with the annoying dancing guy (who'll no doubt become very popular on here and youtube now...) and mixing it with insanity and death. Which was lame.
The gladiator ending was just weak too. Ok, make fun of gladiator ending and then have the dancing guy pop up. that was really predictable and pathetic! You're a good animator though and maybe you even have 1/2 of a keen sense of humor. So id suggest you use your talent in making something "genuinely" funny instead of forced laughter with annoying dancing guy. Good luck!
