VelvetDarkRocks's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[A Walk in Town]

Bloody good show!

The last movie I saw with graphics as smooth as this was probably Genryu's Blade. The graphics stunted me at first, but when I saw the animation itself, starting from the very first steps of our protagonist, I knew it was going to be good.

Though it lacks something of a story line, what with a prowessed man with a katana strolling into a town and slaughtering an apparently random group of gangsters, one of which wielded and untimely mace, I still find it absolutely fascinating. What an intriguing character we have here- and what's in store next for our hero? A marvellous cliff hanger, and an excellent movie.

[Red Riding Hood]

Incredible!

You know what was really interesting about the preloader? The more you zoomed in, the more stars appeared. I daresay I'm the first to discover that. And HA! Look what I found. Meticulous detail.

Delicatessen muzak! Very well done on the narration, too. Absolutely fantastic voice acting, and an incredible choice of atmospheric music. Awe inspiring.

Very fine graphics indeed. I recognised it as a Granfaloon piece because Red Riding Hood looked uncannily like Juste (the warrior from Moonlight) in the first scene.

I have to ask. Was this the original version or something of the sort? Because I didn't recognise, say, the uncle's present or the iron corset, but they seemed plausible enough in a twisted, ancient folk tale sort of way.

A macabre story. You would honestly think someone could distinguish between the tastes of blood and wine, don't you? All the same, a movie well done! An interesting twist at the end, with such perfectly cynical maniacal laughter. Another movie that transcends the scope of brilliance. Very well done.

[Sounds of CS]

Very innovative!

One particular guy seemed to keep getting shot in the head though. Over, and over, and over and over and over by the sniper, who appeared to be on his team but on the opposite side of the terrain. Note the blue helmet? I also noticed they didn't seem to have ammo limitations.

It did get awfully repetative in some points, but a nice sense of rhythm throughout. Not really much more to say than;

Sweet!

[WorldWar2]

Hm...

Yeah, I have to agree with everyone when I say that you were building it up to something great, but it was just a very short clip of the war. Well done with the sound effects, camera angles, animation and graphics in general, but this was neither a real movie, nor an educational thing. It just didn't have enough substance. All the same, I was most intimidated by the file size, and it actually made my computer lag. I had to turn down the quality. While high intensity graphics are good, try not to go overboard with it.

Other than that, just a few grammatical mistakes here and there took the professional touch out of it. Nevertheless, a decent little clip, but you can't say much more than that.

[A Men's Room Monologue]

Lol very well made!

Clever and witty in both language and animation. I found it most charming and delectable in its own anti-public bathroom style. I think you pretty much nailed this one. I certainly hear your plea. I noticed you didn't mention the conditions the toilets were in when you used them- not always ship shape from my experiences. *shudder* Let's not go there.

All the same, a very well made movie, especially for flash. Excellent voiceover, and in general, a pleasure to view.

[Metal Gear Awesome]

Oh my gosh, I just couldn't stop laughing!

True, I haven't actually played Metal Gear Solid (omfg wtfzor!!1!), but I found the movie absolutely QUALITY nonetheless. There were some excellent calls in there and some wicked puns that made me burst out laughing. EXCELLENT voice acting. Absolutely loved the eyes, the sound effects and... Oh it's just all so good. Aced!

[Primal War 05]

One of your better movies.

Little bit hard to believe in some areas though. Like catching an arrow and being able to swim perfectly with a bolt in the chest. It also leaves you wondering why there were so many dinosaurs positioned nearby the boat, but I suppose one could argue that they just have virtually total control over the area. All the same, it was a tiny bit far-fetched, but a fair bit better than the other Primal Wars. You've made noticeable progress, particularly with sound effects this time. I'm still curious as to what animal liberated the Lion King though. Very well done!

[Fat GIrls on Bicycles]

Not to my tastes.

Not the most innovative choice of lyrics from the song there, but the movie did have a certain ring about it. Catchy in its own deluded sense. Made in good humour, fair enough, but I thought it was derogatory all the same. I write this review with a number of female friends in mind who would protest vehemently. It's just so degrading. I don't trust myself to say much more, but I didn't approve of this movie at all. If it weren't discriminatory, I would have rated it a fair bit higher.

[Cupid's Last Stand]

Simply marvellous! On my favourites.

“Mistress of Darkness” were the words that came to mind when I saw her standing there with her cape and helmet after cupid had left the Lovenest. “To war!” was my next thought.

A very, very artistic film with loving nurture written all over it. In the Hall of the Mountain King though? Well, perhaps a bit cliché, but artistically so. Fantastic synchronisation with the changing scenes.

The protagonist (or antagonist, as you might argue!) reminded me of the character from “The Little Girl”. They shared the same eyes, at least. She also reminds me a little of Emily the Strange, too! That’s a good thing. Bonus marks. And cupid’s rosy cheeks were irascible. You can’t help but side with the idea of spearing him in the face.

Branching off a bit, a fair bit of the movie didn’t seem to go anywhere. Just meandering and waffling through a few scenes. I thought a few of them could have been skipped, but I suppose it was all in the nature of developing character context. You did remarkably well with that.

Overall, you are a talented artist with exceptionally flavoured taste. God bless you, and Happy belated Valentine’s Day.

[MK : 3 Fatality Backfires]

Lol, great!

Lol, some of the twists in these were fantastic! The converyor belt idea did kind of make it hard to choose a character, because there was no easy, memorable order to choose from. A standard menu option would have been good.

A fantastic idea for a movie in general. You'd have to be pretty stupid to attach a bomb to yourself though, I must say. Clever ideas and very entertaining while it lasted. Sadly it wasn't longer! All the same, well done with the originality, and thanks to you for making it!
