4AM's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[House of Squid]

BRILLIANT!

Wow, just...wow! This is how ridiculous Flash should be done. A fucking +

[The Origin of Jesus]

Hello Timmy I love you with mouth

We can't WAIT for the next e-mail style toon, and i Understand you're learning Flash. Here is a tip: dont' get lazy and tween everything in Flash, not only will it look odd but it can throw off the timing and pace, which was absolutely brilliant in "E-Mail!" and I think you might have attempted but strayed from in a few places here. Sometimes the voice acting sounds as though you're trying to talk quietly and close to the microphone in order that you don't disturb anyone.

Another audio gotcha is that some of the voices are really loud and some are quiet and hard to hear. A lot of Flash movies have this problem, actually, and it was much less so on "E-Mail!", perhaps because you are more familiar with After Effects.

Flash is a b*tch to work with, so considering that you're doing just fine. I cant' wait for more "E-Mail!". Is it going to be "IM!" or something? :-D

[Hero Coryal Halloween '05]

For serious:

Congradulations, you win at the Internet.

[TANKMEN]

If ever there was a requirement to make a series..

....This is it! Very well done graphics, I gave a 9 for sound only because the tank noise is very loud and piercing, but pretty flawless other than that.

Please make more episodes of this, it was funny as hell. Probably the funniest thing I've seen on NG this month!

[Fun With Fire]

Here is a better idea

DISCLAIMERr: You would have to be a complete moron to try this. Don't.

For all you pyros: I would not recommend throwing ANY sealed containers of flamable materials into a fire unless you can get damn far away quickly and you can be ready to extinguish something at least 10 times bigger than you anticipate. Here is a safer trick, especially in an open field:

Pour gas into an open glass bottle and cafeully (using sticks, tongs, whatever) place it upright in the fire, so it does not spill, and get back as fast as you can. The gasoline will boil and turn to pressurized steam which effectively makes a 20 foot high flamethrower. You will, however, notice when this is safe to approach because the bottle eventually cracks from the heat and the gasoline spills all at once into the fire, ending the drama with a big "poof", fireball style. Shrapnel isn't really a problem unless the bottle somehow becames sealed.

TmsT responds:

Now that's what I call a SAFE moron!

[Sheindlin's Reign]

This was really awsome!

Ah, if only I was that talented. I laughed my ass off and so did everyone else I showed this to!

it could have been longger, but the first time I saw it I thought it was plenty...I guess you can say you left me wanting more!

[Email!!]

Amazing style

Your style is incredible, I have never seen something put together quite like that! nice work.

[Boy Machine]

Neo-review...

..."Whoa!"

Nice style, ominous plot, funny then eerily sick. I expect great things of you!

[Oh My God - Pilot]

Several things prevent me from enjoying this...

...the voice acting sounds like you where trying to be quiet, perhaps so as not to disturb someone else. The the dialog didn't sound fake or forced, but the delivery was rather bland. Pep it up a bit.

The script was very random and at times, reaching for jokes. Perhaps some of this will be explained more in later episodes but it wasn't obvious that the things that where happening that the main character desired where his direct actions.

Finally, this seemed a bit like it was reachng to be like Bonus Stage (well, if you've watched that at all since it's been off newgrounds...that was EP 6 or so and they're up to 60+ now). Probably wasn't on purpose but my point is, with a premise that has been done before you need a little extra kick to it. Throw in a twist.

I hope you dont take this the wrong way, I liked the artwork and the audio was good and crisp. This is a pilot episode as well, which is when all that stuff gets worked out, so you'll have more time for the show's actual content now that you've established the base, and some of these problems will probably iron themselves out. All in all very promising, and I hope my criticisms prove constructing rather than insulting. You can definately go places with this! Congrats on frontpage, keep up the great work!

[coffee break]

This WOULD have been a good movie...

...except I really, really, REALLY hate Tony's Pizza. ;-)

Awsome work! Creepy like Salad Fingers but even creepier because it's much more possible!
