Compdude's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Sad Native]

In a word: WIERD.

Umm... okay, that was wierd. Not necessarily BAD, but certainly a little out there. I'm guessing the author's message is that life for natives is very poor, and lamentably plain, leaving them with little more to do in life than to hit a rock.
.
At any rate, this is way too spacey for me. Probably a good idea, but not adequately fleshed out.

[Tribute-To-Dragonballz-]

Kick ass.

Sweet.
.
That's personally my second-favorite scene of all time in DBZ, following Goku's SSJ transformation on Namek. Plus, that music is totally rocking, and appropriate. Japanese music owns me.
.
I really, really like this movie. It even kinda gives me the chills. You have a SUPERB drawing and coloring style that deftly creates a true DBZ-style atmosphere. I might even dare to say that your style is on par with the TV Series/Manga.
.
Of course, it IS just drawings, albiet REALLY GOOD drawings, so I can't really give this a 10. But it makes for one hell of a slideshow. Bravo.

[The Worst Movie Ever]

Cute stuff.

Ahh, so true, so true. I rather enjoyed this movie; it was partially the inspiration for my first movie Sunshine (sorry, shameless plug). Some good ideas here, and tells some truths about Newgrounds submissions. I only wish there was audio in the dialouge; I rather hate looking at text speech. But I suppose that's part of the idea, right? Good job on this worst movie. :)

[Balthor's Tales From Hell]

Hell-arious!

This is hilarious! Oh sure, some will argue that this movie doesn't have the greatest graphics, or a compelling storyline, but for good, cheap, hell-style torture jokes, this can't be beat.
.
I love the torture methods. I die every time Balthor says, "Maybe some time in the Ass room will tickle your fancy!" Damn funny stuff.
.
But what's with that stupid doll-head thing? I've got my mind wrapped around everything but that phrase-spouting severed head. A little clarification here would make this God-like.
.
Overall, delightful work! And BTW, I don't know what happened to Saturday, but you can probably still find it on the Painted Wagon website.
.
Keep it up!

[PhotoReading Infomercial]

Amusing Informercial-bashing.

Pretty amusing stuff. It probably would mean even more to me if I'd seen that particular informercial, but as it is, it's still quite funny. Decent graphics, funny characters, and you gotta like how freaked that second guy gets. Good Bible joke too.
.
I have a personal aversion to any sort of infomercial, as a good 70% of what they say is misconstrued or exaggerated. So anyone who bashes them, and bashes them well deserves to be commended.

[The Mario Games]

Cute little movie.

Short and cute. Clever idea, and well-executed. I rather hate skateboarding-type movies, but as far as they go, this one was pretty well-done. Good use of the Mario characters, and cross-overs from different games. Nice job!
