AloneInTheDark's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Elevator]

no

This is very obviously insprired by 'Banana Phone'. (Don't even try to deny it). Only, this animation didnt have the catchy soundtrack OR the witty dialogue OR the original idea. So whats left...? Nice graphics, smooth but not too complex animation and a weird character. Better luck next time.

Masonogy1 responds:

WTF I fuckin did not rip that off banana phone!! I have not even seen the whole episode of banana phone WTF.... Don't judge my movie if you don't know whats going in my head.. ok thx for the reveiw of the animation
-cheerz

[Gore-Ometer 2 w/Bonus!]

ha!

a Shakespeare parody without dialogue.. thats gotta be the biggest joke i heard today.

madarkwasp responds:

Dialogue eh..sounds boring. Probably why it was left out of the flash ;)

[One Wish]

thumbs up

I have a soft spot for these type of emotional flash movies. I made one myself too (Out Of Control). I liked the idea of this movie. Kind of reminded me like Ready's Voyage. The artwork had its charms. Ur not the best drawer, but still the thing came across really stylish. And no bad things to say about the soundtracks either...
What i do have to tell u though is that i wasnt really touched by this movie. This was mainly because the dialogues were too ehm.... 'hero-ish'. It gave the main guy kind of a fake attitude instead of portraiting him as a real person (who has a difficult time with his handicap). But still, the fact that u made this type of movie plus all the details that u put into it makes this thing very interesting.

AligatorHead responds:

i know i had to rush things.

[Lock Hawk Down Part One]

the best clock/lock movie on newgrounds.

Yep the title sais it all. Extremely well put together. The graphics were clean and solid like the animation. U managed to make a very good copy of the actual Black Hawk Down. Especially the beginning with the dramatic music and story is very cool.

But i thought u left the lock crew? Well anyway, i guess this project is too good to not finish. Its really too bad that the voices arent fit for a movie like this. It wasnt a parody or a funny thing and the voices prevented the viewer from getting really involved with the scenes. Another reason why i am not giving this a 9 or even 10 is because it is pretty much a literal copy from bhd plotwise. Although this is ofcourse what u meant to accomplish, this will never be a truly original personal flash.

It may seem like im dissing ur movie right now but im totally not. I really like the movie in ALL the other areas and i am really looking forward in seeing part 2. Good luck amigo.

Rho-VIII responds:

Oh yes, I completely agree with you on stealing the Lock Hawk Down plot. It's just that I love the movie so much, its all I can think about! I just wanted to make a Lock movie that tied in alot with the overall feeling and atmosphere with BHD.

Thanks for the review.

[Jupiter's Third Moon, Io]

not really my thing

A little bit too random for my taste. I dont understand what u were trying to accomplish with this, since i found nothing funny/cool/sad or original about it. Pointless is the right word. The sound quality was kinda bad. And to make matters even worse it was really short. The artwork saved the movie from a really bad review score, but next time really make something more....complete.

Strepitoso responds:

I made this through animating things without considering a storyline at all. I wasn't trying to accomplish anything with this.

[-Transformation-]

very artsy

Superb flash movie. I love the fenominal artwork. It gave this movie its own identity which makes it stand out from the rest. Kinda felt like a 60's comic book. Not just cause of the artwork, also the red superhero character and the giant monster caused this. Im not sure if the soundtrack was the appropriate one for this movie. I know it gave it some kind of alternative artsy feeling, but im sure that there are better ones out there. Oh and ur from Amsterdam too, like me... All the good shit comes from Amsterdam :)

Mncedzisi responds:

About the music... I guess slow computers make it go out of sync. To bad, 'cause it fits perfectly with music. qua ritme dan. I liked the beginning of the song. that's what it's based on.

[Plup Ph1ct10n Pt.1]

Bad idea

Making a parody of the coolest scene of one of the biggest cult movies of all time seems like a cool idea. But unfortunately i didnt find it impressing. The main reason for this is that the scene you chose is awesome in it's original state because of it's superb dialogue and nonsense humor. Trying to parody this is almost impossible because the original will still simply be funnier. U took out the best part of the scene (the awesome voice of samuel l jackson and john travolta) and put a clock voice over it. Its like replacing the engine of a ferrari with a nissan one.

biblo responds:

:(

[Frijolero(Beaner)]

not bad..

Pretty cool idea for a movie. Only it didnt really make me laugh or nething. Maybe it wasnt supposed to be funny. Or maybe i just cant relate to the racism between white and mexican people, being a european. I found the graphics a little bit simple and the song kinda got annoying after a while. So ur going to make a series outa this? Sounds better actually, because i think u can work the idea out better in a serie with dialogue than in a music video i think.

CheveLoco responds:

yeah a series including the characters...this was like my way of introducing them...

[Stitch]

well done

I liked the artwork on this one. The doll was really well designed. Pretty dark movie with only the gray tones and some red. It always gives a kind of horror effect to it. This thing reminded me a little bit like 'The Crow' and 'Edward Scissorhands'. Maybe u were inspired by these movies? Neway i still didnt quite get the moral of the movie. Was it supposed to have a deeper meaning? Or was it just a dark musicvideo... Keep up the good work

Dark-Boy responds:

Well i'm a giant Tim Burton Fan, and i've seen every "THe Crow" movie (even the cheep low bugit ones lol)The moral is a deeper menaing yes..but i hate telling people what it is because I like to leave it more open to interpitation..well al the same,thanks for watching :)

[The Bridge]

meh

Nice graphics, pointless and not funny, but smooth animation. And the simple music sounds terribly alot like the foamy series. Oh and you are Joe Outterside? Better use this new account after being kicked outa the time trial for stealing other people's work.

Blue-Flame responds:

Ok...what about the new account?
Sorry you didn't enjoy it.
The music *is* the music from foamy, but that wasn't intentional, it's free on www.flashkit.com..
