Alter-native's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[All Your Life]

Poor Poor Mr. Polygon-Head

This is probably one of those kinds of entries with deep philosophical content that delves into the recesses of man's inner subconciousness and his psychological mysteries of his human condition of which I may never quite understand. Though the animation nevertheless, was well done, and the cradlish music fits too. I give some praise for the use of squiggley lines on clothing to give the illusion of wind resistence when a character is falling in the air. So let me get this straight, he falls into the sea, touches an armless stone mermaid with his stump arm, and evaporates? Well, hmmm.... hmmmm.... "Hmmm..." sums that up pretty nicely.

qstorm responds:

Thank you for leaving the only non-retarded review here (ie more than two lines)

Ha, it's more or less a generic love story (under layers of metaphors and bluish tint) than a deep philosophical concern. It does question the human psyche though...mainly because I don't care for most humans :p

[How to steal a flash-TUT]

Angry Faic is Pretty Awesome.

So yes, this flash is very simplistic but very effective. It jolts good memories of that previous Angry Faic rant where he thrashes on rip off authors who either make another tired cliche ridden madness flick and the "My Newgrounds" fad. I would never ever steal some one elses flash. Hopefully, as soon as I learn to draw figures well with a mouse, and color properly, I will release a flash and will not have to feel so guilty writing these reviews.

Fora responds:

Buy a pen tablet, works much better. And hopefully you'll get better then me:P

[Shinukoto!]

So Some Cat Fetishist is Trying To Kill Herself.

...Can't really blame her...

What confuses me is how she manages to survive getting squashed by a refrigerator, and not from a shot from a bullet through the head. Unless, she is invincible to both bullet and refrigerator. If that is the case, then why the hell is she trying to kill herself anyway? Why did she not perform hara-kiri? That stuff is hella tight and it leaves a big mess for everyone!(Remember emos, it's not down the lane, it's not across the street, it through your stomach!) Why is this cartoon bothering me anyway? It's cute, it's frentic, and it's sexy( if you're emo).

Most of the animation in here is tweens. Now I perfer frame-by-frame animation, but the tweens here work nicely since the artwork is pretty tight enough... I still prefer frame-by-frame though.

Although this animation is primarily focusing on the slapstick attempts of the cat-girl to kill herself in a normal fashion. Its humor lies within the joke/references strewn about. The Kirby music is in sych with this flash's chaotic yet cute appeal. The scene where a bathtub falls from the ceiling containing some Konata and Koga yuri was a nice touch. It is a good way to appeal to the emo demographic of the Newgrounds crowd. After all, they seem depressed, but that is only a side effect from horniness. And nothing satisfies their bleeding hearts more then a dose of Lucky Star cheerleader love.
But back to the cartoon, there is then a scene where the airhead is trying to cook herself, and then that hell of a stud, Solid Snake sneakily discards his cigarette into the gas-operated stove, and the stove explodes in that girl's face!

...Then, after trying to kill herself so long, she is dying in a hospital bed all teary eyed fashion. She reads a note by herself that encourages her to stay alive(I think). Then she dies for good(I think).
Then it all ends with a Azumanga Dai-OH! end card.

So anyway, it was good. Animation was tweeny, but the direction was standard. If you are into random slapstick craziness in your dish of kawaii, give this flash a try...

[The CTSG Collab!]

If This is Not The Best Music Vid of the Year...

...Then it might as well be a candidate,

My favorite part was the scene with that guy running and jumping from building to building. That was such a cool loop! He was trying to dodge that missle, yet, it eventually caught up with him. It fabulous really.

Rig responds:

Silly man. When will he learn that you can't outrun Catoblepas? :D
Thanks for the review!

[Three Guys and a Tree]

This Was A Good Tribute.

You certainly are a true madness fan. You remembered all the cool and random things that the original madness shorts were all about. Seriously, I was sure everybody forgot about the marshmallow.

Before the series turned into a gun-toting action shoot-out, it was originally just about those guys being shot into a giant marshmallow via cannon(marshmallow "madness" was the original title. Did I mention how I liked how the author implemented frame-by-frame animation into this work and thus, did not follow the typical social norm in madness short making? I feel tired from all those other shorts who just motion tween, and practically copy Krinkel's work without being inventive. This author is not norm, and I like that. The author singlehandedly shows the evolution of the shorts as new and iconic characters get implemented into the series. Everyone should remember how the second short introduced the wacky techno music, and the concept of every character(including Jesus) beating each other up. Then along comes that scary clown, and the zombies, and what can I say? The movements are just fun to look at. Of course, it all ends with the classic ending of everone dancing, and dancing forever. At least, till Krinkels churns out another new idea.

[the land of shit]

That Was a Crappy Short.

Yeah, that sums it all up.

[RWD: 020 EARTH]

It Was Irelevant and Unexpected.

...Yet l loved the joke at the end. Take that planet Earth!

[Spaceman Bobs Time Apple]

Good, Good Work...

Sure, the animation was cheap, but art style was cool. I like the colors, I like the cute sizes, and I like the abandonment of outlines. The classic 50's style music gives this a Ren & Stimpy Show feel. Let me tell ya, you never know where you gonna go when bite into that apple.

[RPRJ1: Parking Warden]

That Parking Warden Was Pretty Hardcore Man...

Each person was consecutively funny, and the Shaolin Monk guy was a riot with his little chi blast. Nicely done. Although it isn't as funny as some other stuff I have seen, it was harmless and cute enough to put a smile on my face.

[Maplestory showdown 2]

It Is a Little Bit Of A Mess...

The first scene is rather put together poorly because it seems to try to make a zoom in shot but I can see mummy feet underneath
the frame. All I can say is this mummy and this punk got in one little swordfight and their mom got scared and said you're moving with your auntie and your unle in Bel Air!
