Compdude's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Crazy Ed's Fun Village]

You're right...

I WOULD have liked this better with the SOC characters... still, as it is, it's pretty damn funny. As always, you crack me up with the unexpected, pointless, hilarious violence. Extra style points for being a "dead man's crotch." Good stuff!

[The Crack Addict #1]

Meh...

I didn't really like it that much. It's good and funny, don't get me wrong... but it just doesn't compare with the natural comedic value of SOC. It's almost like this one tries too hard... or copies the SOC style in a poor manner. My advice: don't make a series of this. It just doesn't seem as funny.

[DFL!: ChocoChip Cookies]

Another Culinary Masterpiece!

Another triumph! DFL must be the greatest series ever to come out from Newgrounds. It certainly is at least the greatest cooking show I've ever seen. This is the kind of quality you PAY to see.
.
This episode is even better than the last ones, if such a thing is concievably possible. It's insanely interactive (the sidenotes are HILARIOUS), the storyline is gut-busting hilarious, the animation is silky-smooth and the sound crystal-clear, and underneath it all, there's a really good recipe for chocolate chips!
.
Humor, drama, cooking, and a blender-fearing octopus, rife with a trove of education in proper kitchen cooking. What more could you ask for?

[Tree]

Not bad!

A decent job on this film. Graphics and sound are acceptable - I particularly liked the pre-loader and little birdie cursor. What's more, the main character actually actually LOOKS like a growing tree. I only wish the movie was a bit longer. And shouldn't the leaves fall off the tree during the fall?
.
I'm curious what your view on tree-preservation actually is. Some people have lambasted you as a tree-hugging hippie; I personally believe you're not. I'd also like to say in my own defense that if we DIDN'T cut down some trees, we would lose out on thousands of important tree-based resources, paper namely among them. And besides, there are thousands of land plots out there where trees are SPECIFICALLY grown for the purpose of cultivation. Not to say that unjust deforestation in areas like the rainforest doesn't occur, but it's not like we're just cutting down with glee.
.
I'd better stop before I go off into a rant. Decent job! Let's see how many more people start scraping you against the coals. :)

[Robocop-PD]

Extremely tight.

Wowza! As a fan of Robocop, this is awesome work! Your graphic prowess is absolutely astonishing; tons of time must go into the frame-by-frame action you have in this movie. This is high-quality, month-long work here. Plus, the story line is really neat! A rival-robocop and a giant skull-head robot! Sweet! I hope to see the series behind this "trailer" (if it can be called by such diminutive terms).

[The Scarecrow]

What a twist!

What a strange twist! I love it! Good graphics, sound, and a creepy atmosphere... pity it's such a short work, or this would be great.

[Jack's Fries]

Hey, my name's Jack!

This is okay work, I guess... the sound file with Jack Nicholas is pretty funny, but the graphics are a poor addition. Funny dialouge, but not much to please the eye. And BTW, I wouldn't eat at Jack In The Box to save my life. Uggh. E.Coli city.

[pongo abduktion on my dsk]

Decent Claymation

More decent work with Claymation... but I'm not sure that this is the medium for it. What I mean is, this is too short to be anything fantastic, but if you made it longer, the file size would be catastrophic.
.
You should make an avi/mpeg movie using claymation; that would allow you to make a longer frame-by-frame type movie without horrendous load times.
.
And RTflash is a sweaty mongloid.

[Miss.Dynamite XIII]

OUCH! OUCH! OUCH!

OMG that was... PAINFUL. Uggh... not even a Backstreet Boy deserved THAT kind of fate. Wait, yes he does. Great selection of BRUTALLY painful torture, though I must admit, the ball bit has scarred me for life... or at least inspired me to never go near a girl again... This has to be the most painfully violent thing on Newgrounds - I salute you!

[Miss.Dynamite Halloween]

Excellent Halloween tips!

Man, I wish Halloween could be that exciting for me! *sigh* You offer some very interesting halloween tips that i just might enjoy... Psych. Good graphics and sound as always, and a bit of oh-so-true commentary on the volitaile nature of some peoples' candies... be careful what you eat, kiddies!
