VelvetDarkRocks's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[A Demon Tale]

Mm, this really was a touching piece, though I don't understand it entirely. There was either so much symbolism I couldn't interpret it, or there was none at all and it just had the aura of being a very deep and meaningful movie. Touching but just that little bit confusing. You did beautifully with the animation and graphics, kudos to that, but this was quite a work. Beautiful all round, well done my friend.

[Subliminal]

Before I watched this, I read the reviews and thought "What could possibly make this so 5ish?" After the movie, I thought "5ness shall rule all."

The actualy subliminality (if that's a word) could have been better lol. I laughed alot, 5's everywhere just over and over, 5 5 5 5 5. That was good, but if you really wanted to warp people you should have spelled out 5 in the stars, made the ducks go "5!" instead of "Quack!" and just put little 5 symbols all over the place. I also noticed the sun had *6* little light thingies, but maybe having 5 banjo strings or whatever lol. So many possible 5's, but you did great.

For the pure originally of the movie, you earn a 5. The animation and sound and content in general would have got you a 4, but hey. Vote 5!

[The Neutral Jedi]

Lol, hey great! For a stick movie, I was pleasantly suprised. This seems somewhat familiar though, I think the idea was used before minus the ending. The one I can recall was ended with the gun finishing the other guy off, but hey.

Hilarious really, it made me laugh out loud. It's really quite a great animation if you can appreciate the humour, nice job on that! Animation was actually suprising, you did well on that, but the standards went up and down throughout the movie. Not a bad little cartoon, keep it up =)

PS: Sorry for the sound, my speakers aren't working.

[StarFox2 Mock Trailer]

I personally think that was a great movie! Trailer? Well I can't imagine what it was a trailer for, Starfox Adventures maybe or that new Starfox game coming out. Graphics weren't bad, at all to say the least. I thought they were awesome, but it's the animation and camera angles that impressed me. I could only imagine how hard it would be in Flash, you did great! Sound was absolutely awesome, this was very proffessionally made.

Only a few things to point out.
- I don't think Arwings Travel quite that fast. He took off from the Great Fox at amazing speed.
- Wolf looked uncannily like Fox, his fur should have been a little wider but no real complaints; he was great too!
- One of Fox's eyes generally went missing every now and then.
- There's generally a lack of humans in the Lylat system.
- Not a complaint, but the sight in the Arwing was genius! Truly it was, my compliments!
- Another comment. The Landmaster looked fantastic, that was awesome.
- Unfortunately the replay button didn't work, so I had to rewind and play it with the right click.

Otherwise, that's pretty much it. You did great with the production of this, I'm glad I found it. A very well earned place on my favourite's list sir!

[The Suburban Ninja 3]

Uh, okay! Well then that's fair enough. I liked the animation and the graphics, very smooth and very cool, but a little untidy. Nothing to worry about, the movie was brilliant nonetheless. I hate it how people think they can block bullets with swords though, that's really old now, but otherwise it was pretty much perfect. Poor bastard, ninjas rock. Loved the music too, liiiiiiiittle creepy, but yeah that was also great. Nothing much to say, but overall it was yeah, pretty awesome.

[Friggy and Poochuck 2 v2]

LOL! Oh my gosh that music made me laugh so much. By the other reviews, I'm guessing the music was from homestarrunner? Hilarious nonetheless.

I also love your attitude in replying to reviews, you've got a cool sense of humour. The movies are a little more random and a whole lot more senseless than No. 3 though, so after watching them I can see why you shot him and it's a little too senseless.

I have to say the only real thing good about this one was the music, the rest was pretty much as crap as everyone else said it is. Sorry to admit it.

Fortman responds:

Hey, I didn't shoot Friggy because this stuff is senseless. I shot him because I wanted some violence in the episode, and apparently that made it turn out funny. Hmm. In Episode 1, P didn't die just because F jumped through him. After 3 I just got bored, I considered redoing the whole thing and making new episodes, but all my "animations" are just one-joke gags that happen to come to me. I don't want them to be more than that. And I like the idea of a...flat rock so retarded that he sleeps with a gorilla. Anyway, I'm not defending myself here, but I just felt like giving a bit of inside information about why I made these.

[Friggy and Poochuck 1]

Lol I had to watch this twice before I laughed. It was.. yeah okay this one wasn't nearly as good as your 3rd one, but it was somehow both disturbing and hilarious at once. I don't think you really needed to include that picture, but it did add the touch you needed even if it was offputting. I didn't like this one too much, but yeah it was pretty decent. The sound was cool, I liked that =p

~VelvetDarkRocks~

Fortman responds:

Heh, heh, heh. These were just little gags I came up with in about 3 seconds and made in Flash in about the same number of minutes. I didn't make them for Newgrounds, just wanted to make them. I'm personally surprised that they even made it in. But if you don't like pictures of hot women, even if they are blocked by a little wild-haired grey egg, there's something wrong with you, mate.

[Friggy and Poochuck 3]

I'm with that last guy. I watched with some amusement before crying "What the hell?!" out loud, then laughing. Hey it was really great. Ignore those idiots who diss you because they don't get it, or don't appreciate good humour. I liked it, nicely done sir. That music added the perfect touch too ;-) I especially loved their propper English, very well done!

I'm debating whether or not to add this to my favourites list! =O
Methinks I'll go watch the others.

[Catfight]

Wow, this is definitely an awesome addition to my favourites list.

You did well with the colour blending- green eyes on a silver body, yellow eyes on red, that was something I noticed. I liked their eyes in particular, you drew them really well, so kudos sir.

I really, really loved the music. It reminded me just a little of Lugia's Song from Pokemon the Movie 2000 (don't ask how I can remember what it sounds like), that suprised me a little, but it was a really good choice. Gave it the perfect atmosphere, peaceful but streamlined at the same time. My compliments to your excellent choice regarding that.

I loved the tails and their eyes especially. All animation was smooth- I can only imagine how difficult it would be to animate a cat with four legs and a tail. Rather akward, but you succeeded brilliantly.

The fight scene made me crack up, it was just so brilliant. The training made it look like it was going to be so awesome. The training itself made me laugh a lot, that was genius, and the silver cat just seemed the most agile warrior in the world. The whole fight was them scratching eachother and tumbling around inside dustball lol. Brilliance, it really was. That cranked the humour up to 9. Alot of the time they were pretty much identical, just different colours, but that's all right, you did amazing.

Not much of a plot, not much of a message, but so, so totally awesome nonetheless. Very well done.
