VicariousE's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Dont eat random mushrooms]

You had a lot of different scenes, it kept a nice pace! But it's a bit short, even for a PSA. Congrats on a very promising first step! Backgrounds and characters could use a bit of color and detail next time ;)

[Learn basic Japanese]

Weeaboo food! Good voice actress, almost too good >.< Stiff animation, but it serves it's purpose. It looks kinda random knowledge at first, but I trust these will be structured to maximize retention. Best of luck!

[When I'm Scared]

Very fluid, purposeful work! Glad you finished this!

Thanks :D

[Bad Advice 01: Phone Gas]

PSA's of this type in the US, died out a little sooner than the ones in the UK, however, I've seen enough slide shows in the 70's and 80's to know what schoolroom programming looks like. Wonderfully sideways approach, unfathomable. If you could predict how this would end, you'd be too loony to even care, and that only enhances the setting and appeal of this little nugget.

[Barber Shop Borg]

It's unique, not quite Borg perfect. You could've dragged out a few of the later visuals a bit longer, as the whole piece was almost painfully too short. But an idea like this, deserved to be made, kudos!!

[Lousy Total Recall]

I saw that flick twice in the theater, just like I saw this parody twice! It could've been a little more fast paced, the elevator scene was a bit overplayed. Sooo many things to make fun of with the original movie... you did a reasonable job covering the better ones. "You blabbed Quaid, you blabbed about mars!", would've been a treat! Quaid in the space suit was an excellent segue between scenes, great job! Terminator or Predator next, maybe? Commando?

[The Randoms: ThxGiving]

I don't think I've ever seen, the end credits roll over an action scene before! This was really great! All the gags were well paced and well written. Soundwork was good, the animation was goofy but not terrible. Didn't care for the husband punching the wife towards the end, coulda done something else annoying (only to her at least). Got a good laugh, thanks!

[Extraction]

It looks good, rendered, smooth! However I caught a freeze frame or two with the girls hair not moving (right before a cut), then later, after the gun clips were reloaded, it didn't look like she hit the two drones at all, considering where they were placed initially. Somehow I felt that almost every bullet missed their marks! It might've been due to her reloading after killing only one drone... idk.

Kel-chan responds:

I think things may have been slightly off since I animated the action first then put the drones in later. I also animated this in photoshop as opposed to flash. Thanks for the tips.

[Lif-Thin' Weights]

Gave me a good giggle, we're all that lazy, wimpy lump on the couch! Except the author, of course, he muscles in with... something. Fuck it, the subtext between the individual and the jerks on the other end of the TV is good enough for me. Keep on fighting the good fight, my man!

MisterHerbal responds:

Thanks a lot. Good to see you sticking around :)
