Bezman's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[CandyHolics]

Amusing, but has some technical problems.

I really liked the basic plot and it was cool seeing Wonchop, Tankman, Blockhead etc.

It seemed like a bit love-fest for NG-media and it all worked well.

It sounds as if you were a bit too close to your mic at times - there was a bit of noise, specially when you raised your voice. Maybe hold it at arm's length when you're shouting, then raise the volume in Audacity or whatever audio program?

The 'replay' button doesn't work. There was a slight mistake when you put 'collection' and 'opps' instead of 'collect' and 'oops' in the subtitles. Sometimes, the background shading appeared on top of the foreground characters. Be more careful.

Annoyingly, half-way through the movie, the custom cursor appeared in the middle of the screen during the first screen. Don't bother with custom cursors in a movie.

I wasn't too keen n the drawings of the basic characters, but I liked the fact that you had shading and I liked the tankman drawings, as well as som other elements.

Overall, I felt there were a bunch of technical problems that sorta got in the way of the experience, but it remained a funny, amusing movie.

Keep up the cool work, but next time maybe take a little more care.

Thanks, I'll do some more testing and fixing problems before releasing the movie. Thanks you for your review. Appreciate it.

[On An Island]

Loved the start, slightly let down by the end.

I loved the start. The format of the whole thing is great for the ADD generation and the start of the running gag was cool.

The letters for 'On an island' and 'play' were awesome, but why the rectangle around the play button? Also, I think the highlight colour should be differentiated more.

I felt that the ending was a bit weak - the raft-shaped retread of the helicopter just wasn't as funny the 2nd time around and though it was nice bringing it full-circle with the question, I felt like it wasn't repeated enough to make it a funny running gag. I dunno, for me, it just seems weak when we've got so many quick-fire jokes up to that point, then 2 retreads before the ending. Ending on a lower note!

The curves of the trees were cool. The bodies were decently drawn, though animation was limited.

The layout of the end screen needs a lot of work - text is coloured and positioned to be hard to read. Nothing is given real prominence over other stuff.

A generally cool script though. I enjoyed this a lot more than the 'Silent Protagonists'.

Good gross-out comedy. But not my thang.

The animation's a bit limited, with not much lip synching and some lightly ugly tweens, but I'm guessing it looked awesome back in 2003. Also the script's where the focus is.

Having said that, there's a nice retro quality to some of the drawings - specially the character designs and the eyes of the guy who pops up to advertise 'nomoresips'.

It's a good example of gross-out humour, but ultimately it's just not my style. The advert made me slightly queasy rather than chuckle. And though the gameshow idea did make me almost chuckle with its ridiculousness, I just mainly felt sorry for the guy who was idiotic enough to drink the glass.

Am I a bad person.

[A Sean Connery Moment]

Interesting concept, but I feel like I'm missing

Is this based on some recent event? It seems kinda like it's a wierd metaphor.

I liked the walk cycle. Though the legs didn't really seem connected to the torso and he kept 'tripping' over the left leg, it reminded me of a walk cycle from an 80s children cartoon.

Interesting concept, but I feel like I'm missing something.

You caught my little legs error! If only I felt like fixing it at the time.
