lethaltimes's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Miracle Blade]

Crude graphically, but points for style...

And quite entertaining in a surreal slapstick kind of way. Well done overall.

[Barge of a 1000 Bullets 2]

Not bad but...

...it looked like Bowser was trying to slip Mario a sausage bomb instead of choking him. :D

[Burnt Face Man 2]

The usual level of excellence...

A solid submission, but the pacing got bogged down with the conversations between Bastard Man, Man-Spider and BFM... either some more minimalist or differently focused lines would have fared better. I can't do a jot of Flash, and I really like fat-pie, so I've got to say I'm not bashing this series like some Salad Fingers groupies seem to be... pretty much everything D. Firth comes up with shows a serious amount of work and gets it done. More BFM please (this time with another spent sidekick? :D )

[GunChest]

Pretty solid!

... I just cheesed my way through the robot fight with back kicks, though, and my biggest question was "dude, where's my chest gun?" Still an effort that shows a lot of patience and hard work.

GunChest responds:

lethaltimes,
Chest gun is in GunChest, dude! It might come out the back, too. Ha! Thanks for the visit. Cheers!

[Kermit Kombat 2 ep 3]

Nonstop laughs

I couldn't stop laughing with all the 1980s and Mega Man references. Contrary to what the previous review said, I got a charge out of frequent use of Macho Man's "bruthaaaa"... after all, wasn't that what half of his interviews were made of?

While not perfect resemblances, the voices captured the spirit of each character, and the humor was perfectly melded with the excellent Flash. The timing was impeccable, especially with Kermit firing off a Mega Blast and the sudden frustration of a Mac user (my roommate is a long-suffering Macochist and I burst out laughing when Kermit trash-talked his opponent).

This whole episode was so funny. Pinnicle, you should be doing this stuff on TV, seriously!

P.S. My co-worker looks like Bob so much that I'm buying a T-shirt when I get the money! lol

[Vaudeville Nazi]

Entertaining...

...As Mark Twain said though, "eschew surplusage"... the expository part with your main character was kind of entertaining but if you could tune it up to the brevity of David Firth's Panathinaikos Bear, where the less is said, the more effective, your good cartoons would really rock.

gclpunk responds:

Well thanks im really trying with the animation program i have its a cheap knockoff of macromedia flash mx 2004 or whatever it is, anyways the one I use is called Koolmoves got it for 40 bucks and its hard as shit to make quality cartoons so i try really hard. So im working with silent styles of animation I really think it is fun to make to imitate old film stock and silent movies, yeah I know the writing is poor but im only a 16 year old that is trying hard to animate, I have alot of ideas! check my other cartoons out too!! and flash fables and movies of the 1920s and teach me and the clown for better silent toons!!!

[ButterField 1: Britney]

Non-stop, enjoyable character assassination

This one had me in stitches, bitches... very well done from a technical perspective as well, with the perfect voice acting constantly tying in smoothly with the fast-paced visual assault of overintentional, smarmy derision.

[The Performance Artist]

Sad but laughably true...

How lots of people in this world live off rehearsed eccentricities as does the typical performance artist (I will disclaim that there are some truly talented thought-provokers out there), I'll never really know... or want to.

Great style and choice of performance art examples... they were enjoyably original and surreal. Bravo too on capturing a lot of typical quirks and foibles.
