Compdude's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Strange Fruit]

Good atmosphere.

Nicely done movie. I especially enjoyed how you slowly realized what was going on - both through the music and partly through the visuals. An interesting and provoking song, too. I do feel, however, that the visuals are a bit too obsured to be clear - if you didn't have the music, it'd be fairly difficult to understand what's going on. Anyway, nice music, okay graphics. The little scene selection on the side is a rarely-seen, but nice little feature too.

DonQuixote responds:

A few people have mentioned how cool my scene selector is. I would like to take the time to point out that it was just a debugging tool. But thanks anyway for the compliments.

["I Like Beer"]

Stupid, but you gotta like rednecks.

Yeah, it's way too short, and the humor is pretty stupid, but I think a guy who likes beer enough to save the bubbles is kinda funny. Not THAT funny, though.

[Squigo 1]

Nice art, predictable humor.

I really liked the hand-drawn artistry in this movie, but I agree with everyone else that you could see the joke coming a mile away. That doesn't mean I didn't like the gratutitous violence, however. :) I look forward to a sequel.

[Psychopath]

Not great, but funny violence.

That was pretty stupid, but it was also kinda funny. It wasn't much to look at, but the psycho head-chomper was pretty funny.

[Postal Workers]

Not that great.

The sound is funny, but it's not your own, so what's left isn't much to shout about. A decent try, but it's really a pain to look at.

[Demented Cartoon Movie!]

Hilarious

Genius. Pure, Monty Python-esque genius. I just love this zany, go-nowhere movie. I really laughed my butt off. And it's SO LONG! It's like watching a whole show. Sure, it dragged on by the end, but overall, what you have is a very well-done, very zany and hilarious movie. Bravo.

Oh, and I caught your little blurb in the end. One guy didn't die, eh? Ohh, you sick twisted bastard. :) You're going to make me watch it again later, two or three more times, just to find out for sure, aren't you? You're sick. I'll bet you even put something in there after the end like 30 days later. You are sick. Loving it.

[Newgrounds Logo ep.05]

More human killing.

Nice idea - but I would have liked to see the guy run over more human-shaped objects. I liked the part with the pink overhang, though I wish it was a bit longer.

[Newgrounds Logo ep.04]

Ho ho ho

Merry Tank-mas. Another decent NG tank loop. Your file-compressing skills are impressive - though I kinda wish there was more sexual innuendo invovled :-b. Oh well... maybe the fifth one will have some...

[Drowning]

Very... "atmospheric"?

Very well done! I really liked the atmosphere you set up in this story - the music from GITS is used very well to create a very enveloping little tale about a boy attached to the sea. Your choice of wordplay is also very well done - and really helps you imagine this little boy with a yearning for the cold, deep serenity that only the open sea can offer... Ooh, now you got me lusting for some sea time! A very well-told story. I especially liked the little metaphor you put in the end with the human fetus - as if he was "reborn"? A VERY subtle and well-done way to end the story. Bravo.
