Alpha-Nuva's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Pass-my-Flash 2]

Very interesting!

This is almost like a Flash baton pass (hence the name Pass-My-Flash, of course). What's cool about this is not only is it created by several skilled animators, but as the Flash progresses, you see the contrasts between art, skill, and animation styles. It was very enjoyable to watch as well as dissect, figuratively. Mike took the cake in the end due to the comedy, detail to shading and highlight, cinematics, and incredibly well-synced movements.

I would very much enjoy a third.

[Mastermind 2]

Once again...

The Mastermind, despite his seemingly intelligent facade, always manages to act immaturely and screw something up. The animation was fluid and the dialog stirred several laughs. That "hero" dude at the end also had a Blockhead air about him, both in expression and tendencies.

Good job.

The-Swain responds:

And yet the Mastermind always seems to come out on top. Perhaps he knows what he's doing after all ;)

As for the hero character, I didn't catch the Blockheadness of him. I shall have to listen again.

[Madness: Cipher Pol]

headshart?

i dun getz it =O

Smashedsmurf responds:

This is why you need to pway games wit me. :D

[Metal Gear Awesome 2]

Holy shit!

Frankly, I thought this was some kind of fad over a crappy parody cartoon someone made, but I judged the book wrongly by its cover. I loved the animation. Not the smoothest, but very fitting for this cartoon. The over-exaggeration of faces and voices made me chuckle quite a few times. My favorite aspect of this movie was the intense focus on the completely insignificant things, such as the guy pissing over everyone or Jesus appearing every time he uses his name in vain. Probably the most unexpected thing was the guy popping out of the phone. Something so "off-topic" about it made it incredibly funny.

From now on, I'm gonna be following these animations. You've got a great style.

[I want to die :)]

Too random...

Excess effort into making something funny makes it unfunny. The predictability and the plot was just not funny. The art and animation was also questionable. I didn't like the breathing effects. They were too exaggerated and made it look like his head was inflating.

Probably the only parts I chuckled at were when the mutilated Spanish singer appeared and when he jumped up in the middle of the cornfield.

Otherwise, try to keep it less repetitive next times and don't try too hard to make it funny. Keep it simple, if you want lulz.

[Office Booty]

Nice

Nice, short, and it got to the point. This is so true about ogling porn or whatever at school or work. Obvious Office Space inspiration. It really reaches out to lollygaggers who try to make work a little more fun. When that other dude came in, I chuckled; instead of ratting him out (as some assholes do) he just joined him. XD

[Eccentric Madness]

This was epic.

As you said, a tad short, but I still loved the violence. This must've also been a bitch to animate since you used mainly sharp melee weapons, which require lots of patience and masking. The jumping was incredibly fluid and really amazed me. Other things I noticed were quasi-3d effects (like the axe), good use of perspective in the intro, and correct shading. The beginning was so hilarious. Hank's sniping people out from the cliff and then is revealed in a shopping cart in a very "Quickly, Robin! To the Batmobile!" fashion.

erixs responds:

haha. nice, thx.
and as u said, i put some hard work behind that 3d axe in the end, XP
haha nah, but it was cool looking ;)

[Avatar Boredom Dub 4]

That was epic.

Ending made me lmao. BTW, was that Shoop Da Whoop? Where was his lazor?

[Avatar Boredom Dub 8]

Excellent dub!

It isn't too common to see a dub done as well as this. Normally, dubs have very random dialogue since they keep a loose topic, however, this maintained randomness as well as a common topic for everything said. The motions and dialogue really matched up well with the way the animators made this. On top of this, you added some very unique voices into this. Sounded very mobster-esque, especially with the use of the word "whack."

Overall, this was a very versatile dub, but there was no real skill, except timing and thought, that went into this. It disappoints me to know that my cartoon I worked so hard to make was bumped off the front page to make room for this.
