XjokerX's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Dad's at Work]

Best submission in ages

So help me God,
Let me explain why this is brilliant. First, the animation is under emphasized to allow people to enjoy the story without showing off the real artwork-- the scripting.
The area truly polished is in the timing-- both in the opening menu, film, and even credits.
As to said menu, it's well laid out, easily accessible, and completely unobtrusive.
Incredible--looking forward to next installment.
10/10

Sorry to hear abut ebaum pirating this

Alan,
is there any way some of us could make donations to your legal fees in suing Ebaum for stealing your cartoon? You'd make presidence in ensuring many of us recieve due copyright protection against sites like EBaums world. If you win your case, it would eliminate the blatant theft of material by mock sites and give any of us the chance to recieve reparations for such thefts.

[Lord of the Flies Trailer]

A good attempt

I teach Golding's novel in my frshman comp classes as a means of discussing style, tone, and metaphor. In all this piece is an excellent start to a possible worthy adaption, however, I find a few points to be lacking.
Stylistically, I find it somewhat disconcerting to see a more abstract figure form (sans anime) to the British academy boys. Granted, this is perhaps how you best know how to draw people, but it does not suit well to the nature of this project.
On a larger picture, the current theme is rather immature-- not in the more typical sense, but from an attempt to recreate a serious novel using under developed talents and understanding.
The island is pure coincidence, in re to Golding's imagination for how to figuratively isolate these children.
The reason why Golding chose military academy students was for the idea of discipline in an under developed mind. In today's standards, the piece would be subject to criticism for latent homosexual images. However, taking into consideration the time frame, their education, and nationality of the boys-- Golding was trying to give his audience a picture of a model child. These boys neither understand nor comprehend the majority of the adult world (i.e. sex) and so associate society with it's systems-- not the theories. As such, when they try to build a form of government without an understanding of the necessary diplomacy and nature of politics, it will surely fail.
As such the greater idea here is not boys trying to over come fear-- but two different kinds of minds: the primal instinct of man and the false "culture" he has created. In truth, the book is about what happens when you take away all the materialism and idealism of modern society: man is and always be a brutal animal. Thusly, the real lord of the flies is not some beat or flaw in the human psyche, but man's inherent nature. Or-- human nature is the beast within us all.
Please take the time to read Reynolds article "Golding and the human condition: man as the devil in Lord of the flies." You should be able to find it using your school library's computer, look in ebscohost or mla international.
Take your time on this project-- use it to define your individual style as a story teller and artist.

Nicely Done!

It is nice to see you submitting original material again. While your sound-over work is always humorous-- the thanksgiving/halloween "special" was a nice test for a new branch of original toons.
This is definitely a step in the right direction for your art, and perhaps style, although the audio was a touch off. Dialogue had a slight hiss at the beginning, however, it smoothed off towards the end.
As to the dialogue itself, the first half (leading into the underwear comment) was a tad over the top. In the long run, it evened out and the joke was well delivered.
Nicely done.

[Justice League: Countdown]

Great Identity Crisis parody

An excellent summary/parody of Identity Crisis--
Graphics were excellent, although the sound was a bit garbled for Jordan and Zatana.
As a decree of DC fans everywhere-- Please do the Omac Project!

R. Crumb would be proud

Knowing that the originality and satire of Zap and otherwise underground psycadelic comics he submitted to during the late 60's, early 70's, still operate in modern society. This is simply awesome purely from a dialogue stand point. Quick, Succint, and natural-- the scenes sell themselves with the way your characters fit the environment.
As with the Deadliest Game, the humor in this speaks directly to the counter culture element, an intellectual elite who can see beyond the sucker punch of the freeze ray and doom gate. Truly quality material.
