rockymike's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Phoenix Wrong Triple Take]

Lovely

I'd have to say this is the best one yet. Though I'd like to hear more Lewis Black in them in the future. But I'm surprised, they do seem to be getting consistently better - I didn't expect that.

[Press Start: Mage]

Weaponized Christianity

What can I say...another great episode. I feel that this is one of the more under-rated series on Newgrounds. It's probably my favorite.

[On The Moon (episode 10)]

Yay

I greatly enjoy this series. They just keep getting better. Keep up the good work.

[Ringtone commercial.]

Buh.

Good message but poor execution (no pun intended). I don't know about you but the music cut out a few seconds before it should have. You may be running too high a frame rate.

["The Shadow"]

The simplicity is the key

I tell you, that had some style. Simple graphics are A-OK when it comes to design set-ups like this. Loved the bird.

FREELENS responds:

Simplicity comes from contemplation.

[MoreLikeBlue: Ep 3]

Hooray for Blue

There are maybe just a handful of series on Newgrounds where I squeal with joy whenever I see a new episode in the portal, and this certainly is one of them. Though the last two episodes have yet to make as much of a kick-ass impression on me that the pilot did, these are certainly the cream-of-the-crop as far as Newgrounds releases are concerned. I'd initially thought this series was going to be eclectic with no discernible storyline - I was surprised to see that this established one. Great Job. I look forward to more.

Gobi responds:

hey thanks for the awesome review (:

[ATHF: The Broodwich]

Yay, Mr Sticks!

That was pretty cool. One of my favorite ATHF episodes. It's not quite as good as it could be, but it serves it's purpose. I guess I give you lower marks because the way in which ATHF is made is so simplistic you probably could have made a few small alterations and had your video come out almost frame by frame witht he scene in the show - course then people would say you just ripped it directly from the show, and no one wants that.

pixelz responds:

I kind of altered the characters and such so as to not totally rip the show, its just a fanimation for a test anyways. Thanks for the review!

[Flying Babies]

wow

I typically hate clay movies, but I found this fairly enertaining. The voice-over was good and the animation was good. Nice touch with the sound effects too.

[Apartment 51 - Ep. 11]

"The Giraffe is ribbed, for her pleasure."

Pretty good script writing on this one. This is the first episode I've watched, but certainly not the last. I enjoy the bat boy, mostly because the bat boy myth (as created by The Weekly World News) alledgedly took place in my hometown and that my wife is friends with a guy who was Bat Boy in "Bat Boy: The Musical" no joke, that really is a major theatre production.

[CoExistence - Episode 1]

I've been waiting for this one :D

I didn't notice that you'd submitted this one too. This is the one that Luke showed me a few months ago that wasn't yet completed. I enjoyed what I saw then, and I enjoy what I see now. The graphics are top-notch and the dialog is natural and I also enjoy that you're not afraid to overlap dialog (It's something I've wanted to do but have never pulled off to my liking). Good to see you on NG. Congrats on Daily 5th.

TJG responds:

Thanks mike! Honestly, I wasn't 100% happy with the audio on this one either, but I'm getting there... I'm convinced that if I could pull it off, I'd only do silent films.

P.S. my secret to overlapping dialoge is this: hit record, then talk for 20 minutes... eventually you may get something you can use, regardless of what's scripted, lol
