Alter-native's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Stick World Trailer]

The Music Came From Red Dead Revolver...

Now git...
...And don't come back till ya have a decent flash movie!

[An Unfortunate Girl:Lapse]

This Is Animu Meets David Firth...

Not that it is bad or anything. This is not the most original thing I've seen, but at least some effort was put into it. This flash will make up for its shortcomings if it has an awesome, well written story to tell, and yes this short is rather short. It ends before we truly get to see a detailed account of what happened and what is happening. All I know is that girl spreads deadly worms not by will, and there is this mask doctor guy, I guess... Overall, this flash is a good start.

[Philosopher Phun Shorts]

That's Pretty Funny.

Do another one! Maybe somebody like Ayn Rand next. Or you know, classic Aristotle. Or the disregard for classic morality with Fredrich Nietzche. This flash is not only fun but a bit educational too!

MasterLock responds:

A double win!

[bluh bluh bluh.]

This Is great Animation of Will Vinton Quality.

Ten times... no.... A bajillion times better than Knox. The expressions, life like movements, that crazy walk. How long did it take to make this?

RWappin responds:

Just the animating part took about 10-12 hours. Counting making the characters and props, a lot more.

[Lekia (Flee)]

Oh That Wascalley Wabbit!

Spike Spiegal is the MAN, even when riding on a silly little moped...
Although you should brush up on Strong Sad's color scheme, he's gray not yellow.

[: Fashions :]

Another Rant, Another Day.

That's right kids. Listen to the beast of the recycled frames! Be yourself, an individual! Just don't forget to buy a foamy shirt at your local Hot Topic to show your appreciation!

[Brawl Funnies [Dick 1]]

The Comedy Here Is Certainly Black.

And this is coming from a guy who sorta likes Brawl Taunts! I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
First of all, the animation at the beginning with the girl at the rave club, was incredible. The bluish color scheme gives it a nighttime look and it was very cool.
I do admit there are plenty of deliberately amateur shorts that are done to satirize the effort shown in Brawl Taunts series. Stuff like "Brawl in The Family" and "The Greatest Cartoon Ever" shorts were purposely bad to mock Brawl Taunts, but I did like Cool Dr. Money's renditions of Mario and Luigi in a sick sort of way. I still found "Greatest Cartoon Ever" pretty funny just because it was a string of poorly made square VG characters holding hand while singing how gay they were but how some user "Artoon?" was even gayer then this cartoon.
There were others that were slightly amateur, but were very effective, at least for me. Like the one short that compared Newgrounds to fast food restaurant that only serves only old trashy content. Then the other one featuring those Noob Nationalists, Rina and Kirbopher, as they force Mario to repeat that observation from that RTIL Egoraptor parody in front of an audience of NGers who unwittingly laugh and accept.
My favorite short was the one with the guy in the balloon who had to drop bags of self-respect that were weighing him down in order to reach the clouds of popularity. It was very metaphorical and had a style reminiscent of a certain 1970's commercial.
Speaking of metaphors, I don't know much about Metaphor 128, but that short was funny and decently animated. Maybe if I look into this user more, the short will be even funnier.
A Brawl Taunts smoothie: a smidgen talent, a dash of originality, and a bag of Egoraptor's ideas! Haha.
I do have a soft spot for the "Truck Full of Lame Overused Jokes."
If there is one thing that could improve this flash, it would be a scene select feature, because certainly some scenes that have more replay value than others. You do have arrows that skip scenes, so that is the next best thing I guess. I noticed from some users below me that some people did not even finish watching this short because the amateur parts dragged on for too long. It's like they didn't notice the arrow buttons! Because there is certainly some honest to goodness talent in this flash!

[Ronch]

Poor Rorschach...

...He was such an upstanding individual, and he was so very fond of sugar cubes. Anyway, this is quite decent loop based on what is most definitely the greatest comic book ever written.

[=aDarknessInApril=]

The Moody Piano Music Helps A Lot.

This is pretty well done flash, with limited animation techniques. It portrays Pico in a more serious tone rather then his typical satirical frantic tone. We see him going through a mid life crisis as he looks back upon the date when his school was shot up. It's almost like he's a soldier returning from Vietnam or Iraq and he can't shake off the horrible experiences. He tries to settle down with an ordinary life, buy the carnage will haunt him forever...

April seems to be a recurring theme for NG and Tom Fulp. Pico day is in April, Tom is married to April, and 4/20(dudes!) is the date of the Columbine Massacre. 0_0 Coincidence? You decide!

[Ness VS. Sonic]

Recommended For Earthbound and Smash Fans...

Normally when I see VG parodies, they're usually made with not a lot of effort put into them. This on the other hand was rather decently animated and fun to watch. There are also a couple of parts that make fun of scenes from Earthbound. Other people who are not fans of Earthbound don't have to be familiar with the title in order to enjoy it. All what really happens is that Sonic and Ness cross over and race against one another. There a lot unexpected parts in between what seems to be a normal race. I like how they play rock paper scissors between the bout. It has a feel that is very reminiscent of old Felix the Cat cartoons. I mean the really old ones. Like the ones made in the 30's. Basically the main character encounters a main plot and goes along with(In this case a race with Sonic) and encounters mainly interesting characters with slapstick and gags based on encounters with each character(Bumping into character and losing a key, Ness emptying his shoes to find a detective hat in order to find said key, Ness falling into a trash can, Donkey Kong picking up Ness by the feet to punch Ness and sequentially gets frightened by the ghost in the trash can, etc). There was also quite a number of in jokes as well. Like who was that tied up girl in the circus? Really, I'd like to know.

Rock-Candy responds:

The tied up girl is just a character I made up a long time ago.

I'm glad that you liked it.
