ShameOnPretzel's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Do Me !]

Easy there, Richard...

...

Oh...kay. Sure wasn't expecting that. Still funny though. Animation was nice and fluid. Poor cat :(

[Sonic Stereo]

Front Page First

*In an effort to review all the flash that have stuck out in my head for the past year...*

This flash has the distinction of being the first that I had discovered via the Newgrounds front page. Love the graphics, love the music, love the ending. Great for Sonic fans.

[Sonic In Heat]

Short but satisfying

This was one of the first flashes I had seen on Newgrounds, and believe it or not, it remains one of my favorites. The graphics are nothing to rave about, but the sheer weirdness of this animation makes it one to remember. I liked how Sonic had rocket shoes to levitate up to the girl's height, lol. Earl's guest appearance made it all the more enjoyable. Queerness prevails over quality - a great sprite movie for a quick laugh.

[Pandamatic (part one)]

Very Nice!

This flash has one of the best opening sequences that I have ever seen on Newgrounds! The beginning alone is better than a lot of tripe that makes it past judgement in the portal. I can't wait to see part two! Keep up the good work!

AntonyC responds:

Yeah, Dammit.
I keep opening up it's containing folder only to see that intro (which alone took about three months to finish) beckoning me to continue the series:
"C'mon! Finish me!
"You know letting me go to waste would KILL you, Muahahaha!!"

[Ducktales: The Auditions]

Dwinking pot is bad for you!

*In an effort to review all the flash that have stuck out in my head for the past year...*

Thank God for the Random Flash Portal Entry button. That's how I discovered this gem of a flash movie, "Ducktales: The Auditions". I swear, I must've been on the floor laughing when I saw this for the first time - words cannot express the outright hilarity of this animation. The auditions were funny enough, but THEN to take it to the next level where Scrooge gets an Academy? Ha ha ha! And Julia Roberts as a firebreathing dragon always does the trick.

But I digress. Great visuals, nice choice of music, EXCELLENT choice of cameos, terrific voice acting, and impeccable timing on the humour - from start to finish, this was an enjoyable, quotable laughfest. I honestly think you are the best (Canadian) flash artist on Newgrounds - keep up the awesome work. :)

P.S. Living in Canada, I understood the Juicy Fruit joke. Sweet...!

[S.A.M.V. 5]

WHOO!! THE TRIUMPHANT RETURN!!!

SOCIALLY AWKWARD MALE VIRGINS ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't wait for the conclusion! You never disappoint me, man!

BaconMask responds:

Thanks man! Tryin' my best to make something that people enjoy! Your kind words brighten my day! Thanks again!

[Up town girl]

That was cool...

Everything fit nicely in that flash. I loved the graphics, loved the song - everything about this flash rocked (especially the anime overtones). Keep up the good work :)

[Fowl Injection]

WOW-WOW-WOW!!!

Chicken have teeth???

lol...never mind the above comment - that's just me being nitpicky ;)

The graphics - Wow. They were good. They were made-for-television-good. That part where the Chicken man sort of ruffled his feathers was an EXCELLENT touch (as well as the glowing red eyes - just uber-cool beyond words!). That's some serious talent; I could definitely see work like this being shown on a major network in the years to come. I have to give you a 9, though, since there's no sound, and I really think it would have only added to the already stellar quality of this flash.

Anyway, I hope that you receive a good grade for this project, and I really hope that I get to see more of your work in the future. Ciao.

[Claveman Ep. 5/5 Alphanzo]

Erm...

Well, I've been following this series since it came out (almost a year ago!!) and I must say, while I did enjoy this particular chapter, I was a bit disappointed. This episode lacked the most quality out of all the ones you have done thus far. The lip-syncing was off towards the end, and a lot of the scenes seemed choppy and incomplete. The animation was definitely not as smooth as in the previous episodes, but your style of humor and the return of the Canadian pirate and Juluh(sp?) made up for this...but not totally.

My only advice to you is to tell all those whiny fanboys that say you take too long to make an episode to just "screw off!!", because it really hurts the quality of your work when you rush like this.

I usually don't write long reviews like this, but I like "Claveman", and I want to see it done right. You'll make front page for sure, and you'll probably win an award for your efforts, but still...IT'S QUALITY OVER QUANTITY! YOU CAN'T RUSH ART!!
