Bezman's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[RWD: 017]

Got kinda dull.

Some nice textures.

I was kinda disappointed by the style of animation though - I felt like the work on the TV and the style of the opening screen looked so much better than the style of the movie itself.

I liked the silhouetted part though, as well as the ending starfield shot and the music was way cool.

[RWD : Yo-Tawm]

Spam. :-)

I'm glad to see you guys finally starting to make good on your promise of 'spam'.

Your voice sounded kinda odd - if I hadn't seen first-hand what wacky voices you can make, I wouldn't believe it was you.

Kinda amusing in its sillinesss.

[Dailytoon #200]

Great fast tempo.

A fast pace, decent animation, quality voice acting...

The scene with a plane crashing into the farm looked shit and on the scene with the kids up swinging trees, whils the trees were of an impeccable standard, the kids were relatively sloppy.

It's good an excellent tempo though and I like imagining what this film might be like, even if I'd never see it. My favourite parts were the seemingly-irrelevant farm and the ending.

[Men's Wearhouse Volume 1]

RTl's part was cool.

A real mix in quality.

Rtil's sketches were awesome - kinda MSGish with the shading style and loose lines. Mouths sometimes didn't 'fit' though. The dialogue, voice acting and music were brilliant - really adding up to a hilarious whole.

I gotta admit confusion though - I guess this is a real chain in the USA but why all the MSG style and music? Is there some connection?

None of the other toons were really as funny.

However, Taylor's voice for Zimmer was funny and I liked IRG's 'distortion'.

[TWEEN: A Flash Odyssey]

Fun and some good animation

Some pretty cool work.

I loved the angular drawings of the dude and the animations on the hand. The dramatic skewed shots of the screen and the tween having been produced were brilliant.

The whole idea was pretty cool too.

Maybe the end frame could have had a 'flash player' border around it or the editor timeline moving forwards, to show that the last scene is on the computer? And to fit with the other-on-screen stuff, maybe some colours?

Also, the dude's head when he's about to click doesn't really sem to match his body - too round...

Anyways, twas a fun watch.

[Oooo A Tankie]

Made me smile a bit despite my grumbles.

The starting intro and purple bg work well. The buildings in the bg are nicely reminiscent of the NG header.

I'm not a fan of the art style. I like the self-shaded lines around the shirt and trousers, but black lines around the face look odd to me. And your hands need more work. I guess if you do some life-drawing, it'll eventually come to you.

Also, there was a flashing white line on the left and a white line on the bottom - make sure your bgs cover the entire stage.

Basic plot was funny. And it's cool to hear the MC.

Made me smile a bit despite my grumbles.

PostTimeskipSam responds:

Yea, I still have a problem drawing hands, anyways thanks for the review. Also thanks for pointing that out, but I guess I must have forgotten to shade the characters or something usually I shade them. The thing I really didn't like about it was the way I drew MC. I wish I worked a bit more on the character art for him.

[The Last Hour: Chapter 10]

Best yet. Got me interested.

You scrap the intro altogether. The movie is of a decent length. Things happen.

These are things that should have been in all your movies.

The dripping after the alien's torso was shot was way cool.

'Noo! Chinese man! Nooo!' is such a ridiculous, cheesy line. I mean the American barely new him - such histrionics are excessive. And the Chinese accent is messed up. Specially near the end, it becomes obvious that you did it in one take, with you keeping the 'chinese' accent when Malcolm X14 is speaking and using a skewed British accent for the chinese dude. Use a different take for each character, so you can keep accents and 'stay in character'.

It's a big step up from your previous efforts. Nothing brilliant, but there's a foundation here and as long as you step up your game and put the work in, you'll continue to improve.

[The Last Hour: Chapter 9]

Too-brief animation; too-long intro.

"Find out as the adventure continues." the intro said.

"I bet I won't," I thought to myself. And yep - I was right. Once again, you've got an episode where the text tells us more than the animation. Where the animation shows nothing you haven't already stated.

I did like the gradient on the ship's window and the planet looked good.

But the brevity was ridiculous.

[The Last Hour: Chapter 8]

Silly but not funny.

In the intro, it should be 'anti christ's'. Not 'anti christ sis'.

The drawing of the aliens was cool and I liked the silhouetted shapes on that green.

My main complaint is again the stupidly short length. Why on earth didn't you stick these in one movie?

Overall, it was yet another movie that failed to create any real effect.

[The Last Hour: Chapter 7]

No animation, silly voice acting, no plot advance

Again, another episode with minimal animation, bad gollum-ish voice over-acting and no plot advancement.

I was pleased that you didn't have a stupidly lengthened intro this time. Good call if you want the series to be taken seriously.

The animation was non-existent - a couple of near-identical frames and that's it. Even if you wanted to hid the guy's face, you could have moved the camera around, drawn his back from different angles, maybe even drawn his profile in silhouette or drawn a mouth, with the rest of his face in shadow.

The 2 characters sound identical and both sound just like the narrator. Use different voices for different characters - not just a silly gollum-type voice for each. Aren't these guys meant to be human?

Given the fact that you didn't even bother to re-take the audio after your mistakes and the minimal amount of graphical work, I'm wondering if this is spam - some sort of joke.
