Garden-Stater's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Black Rain]

Nice Work

It looks like it's in the the vein(sp?) of Take Back the Media or Bush Flash. I haven't seen one of these in a long time. Good work artistically expressing your opinion. It's even better that you backed up your opinion with a few stats sprinkled in there. You can probably strengthen your point better by including functional links to articles about the defense and oil industry's influence on politics ... so people don't have to just take your word for it. ;) Personally, I disagree that it's "purely educational" and would better be described as informational art.

While the art and expression of information is good, this can be better. The lyrics don't sync up with the captions for me, so that can be improved. The soldiers looked a little clunky. I know drawing with a mouse can be hard, but maybe some shading would help the look a bit.

Good work.

haha thanks man, one of my first flashes though, so yea lol

[KILLER ON THE ROAD]

Amazing

Good plot, awesome art, impressive animation. Still not sure why her boobs bounce when she nods her head to the music, but whatever. The angles were a little weird, plus she was much, much taller than the car was, but anyone watching this and rating this should keep in mind THIS WAS MADE IN 2002. This is good by today's standards. Take a look at other flashes that were made back in 2002 and watch this again and you'll see my point.

A Beautiful Piece of Work

Very touching. You almost had me tearing up a bit at the end. The thing at the very, very, very end before the title screen comes back up was completely unnecessary.

[Jin vs Kazuya loop]

I'm Conflicted

Personally I'm not a big fan of the super power anime battle segments. Plus, short loops like this are better off on newgrounds' file dump and presented in the forums for feedback, then uploaded as part of a real project to the portal. Additionally, it autoloops. On the other hand, you clearly have some real talent here, you've created some pretty amazing effects, and you worked very hard on this. Even though I think it really shouldn't be in the portal in the first place, until it's a full project (no offense intended), for what it is, it's very impressive. The only thing I think can be improved is shading in every scene instead of select scenes.

It was Good Overall

Pretty Good. The art is amazing (although it changed drastically from "Act" to act, which was strange. Her reasons for killing the last two guys weren't explained well enough, it seemed like she just did it without much of a reason, or the reason not being presented well. Plus, there were some plot points that just happened to be too perfect, like the wanted sign being hung up right next to her (which I was willing to give a pass on, since it was so crucial for the twist) and the bank security guard reiterating his orders to another soldier who already knew the orders. Why would he do that?

Aside from these things that bothered me, this was great and I plan on watching the rest.

[Truth About Men]

Yeah, right

Because her bird story was SOOO much more interesting.

[Surrealeal]

This is Really Funny

The art and animation was perfectly fine. The jokes were very funny and unsettling. The references to David Lynch were a big plus too.

This definitely deserves more than 700 views.

Honeybloy responds:

Thanks, guy. I think Surrealeal is well past its peak of getting a lot more views.

It Made Me Smile

Pretty funny. I'd give it a better rating if the clips were a little longer and if there was more color and a backdrop. In other words it could use some polishing.

The Video Won't Play for Me

I tried refreshing, right clicking to move it forward to play, waiting a while but it's not playing. If this is the same as the YouTube video posted on your blog, it's WAY better than you make it out to be in your description. The art is good, the vast majority of the animation is decent. Excellent job at shading. If you designed the 3d backgrounds you did a good job with that. Good work, I look forward to more of this ... and actually being able to play it without having to scout it out through your profile. :)

By the way, you mentioned that you need voice actors, check out the NG Forums, there are plenty looking to work on projects.

Kel-chan responds:

thx for the tip

[An Interview]

Excellent

This is hilarious! Comedy can be hard and sometimes doesn't grabs someone's attention throughout the entire thing, but this was great! And that guy's face, wow! Awesome job!

Minor Point, it was difficult for me to load this, it took a few tries. I know it's a large file, but it's weird considering I have a fast internet connection. Meh.
