WritersBlock's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Pretenders]

Haha, better than your average

homemade film. It's not hollywood, but the camerawork and script was pretty well executed. Maybe some lighting issues here and there, I'm going to guess that the sound was the quality it was because of the overall film's quality being reduced a bit. I thought the ending was, for the most part, decent, but the dancing around felt a bit out of place. Great use of humour, I think you guys did a decent job. Well done!

Fro responds:

Thanks for the review. We did a couple of shots of the ending, but it just seemed to be the only one that went with the movie. I really don't know what else would have fit there though.

Perhaps we should invest in some mics to make the sound better. That's the only thing that is really missing from our movies now.

[A Bid For Freedom]

Great work

The illustrations were wonderful, the voicework was brilliant, and the story, impeccable. Congratulations on making a success out of your storybook collab. Only thing to note is that the text is a little hard to read. This would have been a much bigger problem if the voices weren't as clear as they were.

AdamCook responds:

I've seen your works in the Storybook Collab; you're very poetic and literate, so this kind of reception is truly wonderful. Thank you for checking this out and I'm thrilled you enjoyed it!

The text issue has been fixed; enjoy!

I very much look forward to seeing you deliver something for the Collab yourself; I hope to see you on here soon doing similiar business!

Cheers, and best of luck to you in your own ventures!

[How to be leet.]

Lol quoted me. :3
A classic Lochie humourous short. Ahh, the style of old film and lochie ^___^ meld together unexpectedly well. I laughed, I 5'd, I give you a pat on the back, my fine sir.

I'm now "leet". Care to go for a joyride in my ROFLcopter?
<3

Lochie responds:

I'd love to go for a joyride in your ROFLcopter. <3

THanks for the 5'n'10. <3

[Apples.]

I also wear a paper bag on my head.

I think it's great how they continue at it at the end, even though there's plenty more apples to go round.
I was wondering, how would the guy with the paper bag eat an apple anyway, without removing his paper bag? I saw no mouth on that character! And the one that was all mouth and no body, how did he manage NOT to eat it?
Simple storylline, elegant and well executed. Music was great. An all around class act. *thumbs up*

SWiTCH responds:

That's a good question!
They didn't wan't to eat the apple anyway, they just wanted to fight over it. :)

[Gone to Bel Air, brb.]

I think that

it was good.
Fun. Nice. Random.
Perfect for people like me with a short attention span.
Maybe if you added something shiny in there... or a red ball...
Oh, and you spelled "End" wrong, that was the part at the end of the movie, you spelled it "edn". Might want to fix that.
I'll be waiting for your return from Bel Air, so that you can make more awesome flash movies.
=D

Lochie responds:

A red ball would have fitten perfectly, I don't know why I didn't put that in! D:

I'll be back from Bel Air soon.
Thanks! :D

[A Weird Day at College]

lol

Great story. It kept me entertained for the whole time, good job. Despite the lack of lip synching and other numerous cuts in animation quality ;D it shows a fair amount of effort put into telling the story.
The best animation I've seen from you yet.

"The best animation I've seen from you yet."

I would say some of the best, but I'm not sure about THE best. :)

[Andersson's Birthday]

funny

It ends kind of abruptly, and it leaves me thinking "what will he do with a rocket launcher?" Nice birthday present, and a funny animation.
Graphics could be improved and the volume of the voice acting could be quieter, but overall, it was amusing, your animations are a lot different to the average flash, in terms of style.
Good work.

kinggila responds:

Andersson/Satan would do several things with a rocket launcher. :)

[The Halloweenator]

Nice

It seems a little slow in conversation, I think that was dragged out a bit too much, but the art and animation was really great and the voice acting was pretty solid too. The ending was funny and a bit unexpected, it was done well.

Good work.

Lambinvoker responds:

Thanks for the review.
I agree with you (and many others) stating that the conversation was too slow throughout the animation. This was my first attempt at comedy, and I have learned now that proper timing is vital to keep people's attention and to get the joke across. It will be a little while before I attempt another comedy.

[Love You]

Plot = weird

I don't really get the connection between the plot and the title, I think the music is a little qirky for someone committing suicide (?)
But the drawing was done well, animation could have been a bit smoother, but overall, it's a good little flash. Not too much to comment on, due to length, but it definitely showcases your ability, so it's a great start to build from, and it's a good sign for things to come.
Keep at it.

Lambinvoker responds:

Thanks for the review.
Wouldn't it be funny if she jumped from a love blimp?

[Machina Humana]

Great

The greaphics are really good, for the most part, it's a high quality, slick, entertaining animation. The plot is good, it flows with the music really well, and it's really interesting to watch. The flickering light was done really well, and it's awesome to see a bit of 3D type animation in there (rotation of walls/shading, etc...) so overall, it's a very good flash. I'd like to see what you'd do if you broke away from the vague plotline flowing with the music and came up with characters and a script and made a proper conventional movie.

Great work.

MrGUS responds:

Thank you, I do need to change a bit in style, explore other stuff... not on my next one though, the next one is another song based animation. But I an thinking about making something more along the lines of a normal story with plot etc... it would probably not have voices though.. I-m not into using voice acting, or maybe I could... I'll just finish what I'm working on right now... which will take a while and then I'll use your suggestion.

Thanks for the review,
