TimScheff's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Good Idea, Bad Idea Ep 1.]

It was ok

The movie was ok, definately worth a place on the portal. Some of your good idea/bad ideas were pretty predictable (the construction site in particular). I liked the loaded gun clip because I was expecting a suicide, though it would have been nice to see the results of the misfire.

The one thing I wonder is if you compressed the audio file(s) because the file szie seems pretty huge for the amount of content. The score probably would have been better if you optimized the audio because the wait for the movie would have been less onerous for people with slower connections.

Good work in general, I hope you get a chance to learn from this one and make even better stuff.

gretest evur!

Yeah, gretest evur, definately. Nice how you were sure to fit Reggie in, the gay cat does add a nice touch.

eddiebalin responds:

A nice touch-as long as he dosnt touch me!

[*Freddy Krueger Tribute*]

Nice work

I think you're right, some of the other tributes were a touch better, though I'm not as big of a FK fan, but this was still nice work. You do a really nice job of setting suspense and anticipation in the short time the movie takes to play out.
Thanks for a good movie.

tnx for the review. well the animation was btter in this movie than my other tributes but at the end of the movie u can tell i rushed

[DC+PC Series 2 trailer]

Good to see it back

Good to see the series come back... the first one got a bit wierd at the end, but a strange ride was probably to be expected.
Will there be props to Meow Meow?

MonsterMunchClock responds:

Meow Meow is be a Mystery force of all of the meow there be in the universe. All Praise Teh Meow Meow!

Simple yet nice

Not the fasted paced movie but interesting. The music accented things well, though the fly noise was a little annoying.
A nice simple story, interestingly done. However, the page that loaded at the end was broken.

SuperDragon responds:

Hi...yep I noticed that too. I'll improve soon.

Thanks!

A Reason not to die

I think you are single handedly giving Childrens Show hosts a reason not to die in fear of being the subject of an EB flash cartoon. I never realized this was why they called him Captain Kangaroo. I guess he had an affinity for well hung ones too.

eddiebalin responds:

I apoligize to you and others who have me on thier favorutes list for the lack of quality on this one.

I had to get this out as quickly as possible to make it as relevant as possible.

PS CK always thought better was better (with kangeroos)

Not Bad

For a first movie and a school project this wasn't too bad. I was entertained (though I can't particularly say why) and it deserves its place in the portal.

mr-a responds:

thank you

[Permission Slip]

Not as through as a Bush Bash

but another good submission. I was a bit shocked at Bush's claim of heightened executive power to do what he wanted, regardless of congress's wishes (when oh when will someone finally kill the War Powers act). Nothing like pain unbridaled unilateralism at home and abroad.

Oh, and maybe I'll pick up flash again... I did my movies with the free trial and don't want to work with a stolen copy but dont' have the money (or the time really).

TheOtherTruth responds:

Thank you for your review.

I always appreciate reviews from those whose opinions I respect!

Just like you, I am struggling to find time for things like flash. I used to put 20-60 hours into a project, but I just don't have the time now.

WAR POWER ACT!!! WOW.

Do you know how long it has been since I have heard that!

It makes you wonder why we even gave congress the power to declare war if the executive branch does an end-around them every time.

Thanks again for the positive review, and make sure to check the back catalog if you missed any.

PS. BB11 turned out a bit weak, but I am looking to make a strong comeback!

[Warning]

Nicely done

It may not score as well as the funny flashes on the site but movies like this deserve a lot of credit. Its hard to put together a fairly effective dramatic piece that doesn't come off as poorly done. With nice graphics and good timing accompanying the message this was very well done. I'd rather watch work like this than an endless array of stick deaths.

jjrocks2002 responds:

thank you very much

[Beer Song!]

Nice Nice

First Pot Song from Peach, then Beer Song from you... am I sensing a Lock Legion theme? A group of party animals set on a course of reckless abandon, to impress the world with not only their flash but also their ability to party till the sun rises? A very nicely timed and concieved Flash, a great compliment to the music you chose. The flashes really impressed me. Good scores all around, if this high level of cartoonery continues I just hope the Locks regulate their membership a bit to assure the quality stays high.

HeadLock responds:

Oh the locks like to party alrite!
