Bezman's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[All Your Base]

It made me smile faintly and shake my head ever-so

Specially after reading the previous review, I thought something far worse would happen. Compared to the current #1 in the differential list, this is fairly inoffensive.

I noticed that the screen pauses on a pink frame - slightly glitchy.

The start was fairly well synched, I thought.

It was all an old joke though - the 'meta-joke' of shocking and offending others, whilst some of us imagine other folks' reactions and chuckle along. It's been done so many times that it's just not that funny any more and as one dude once said, perhaps those who enjoy it do so largely because it lets them feel like they're in on some 'in-joke'. But it's not an in-joke. It's an old joke that's way out there and very, very obvious.

It made me smile faintly and shake my head ever-so-slightly.

[Sonic Vs Shadow!!!!!!]

This made me smile quite a few times.

The 'whoops' bit made me smile, but the rest was a combination of poor graphics and a flimsy plot.

Some parts that could have been done with a tween seemed really jerky - like shadow's zoom to Sonic and Shadow's fall.

I personally always felt that if you're gonna write about an existing universe you should use the laws of that universe - i.e. Sonic shouldn't be able to kamehameha.

The fact that the 'making of' feature even existed was kinda funny and the preview amused, maybe because of its cheesiness.

This made me smile quite a few times.

[Conan takes over ep. 1]

made me chuckle at one point

It actually made me chuckle at one point, though I felt it too slow moving and uneventful for this episode.

The idea of Conan inviting those various folk to kill his competitors is amusing, but after the first 20s, the remaining time is taken just watching what we already knew would happen pan out.

The idea had potential, but as you haven't done episode 2 yet, I suppose you never worked out how to use that potential.

DjGurk responds:

yea your right, it is pretty crappy, i can't believe i even made this. the conan series takes too long cause i would have to photoshop dozens of pics, so i quit that and started making movies like dos equis which i think is the best one i made and like making those types of movies.

[Sherbert the Cat V-day]

It's a sweet video and the end made me smile.

I kinda wonder why you didn't wait a couple of weeks to submit this...

Anyway, I liked your colours - all the pinks, purples and blues - and the song was a great choice.

Why does sherbert have have an 'M' on his head?

I thought the 'right' and 'phone' seemed a bit too cheesy - slightly too literal a take on the lyrics.

The brain wasn't much at all like a brain and I still kinda find a lot of your graphics a bit rough around the edges - rough lines and tweened joints not quite matching up...

I really liked that die you animated and also the moon looked cool. The slowmo running fitted well.

Jonimator responds:

The reason i submited it early was 'cause i was testing to see if it would get more views being one of the first in this years valentin's collection. And the 'M' on sherbert's head is because when you look at his pictures the link gives to there's an M on his head. Most tabby cats have this.

Thanks for the review. Glad it made you smile.

[Snarf's Dance Party]

made me smile briefly

The whole thing kinda made me smile briefly, but I was really disappointed by how short and limited it all was.

The way the legs bend is kinda cool, but I hate the freakish proportion-changing legs the guy on the right has.

Also, maybe put some thought into your line width variation.

The music was cool.

For what it is, it's not bad.

[The Matrix Mayhem]

totally kick ass and I see this as further proof o

That was brilliant!

It's kinda like a quickfire comedy sketch show with so many surreal scenes in such quick succession...

I like the kinda haphazard feel your drunkenness gives it.

All the characters are played really well - specially Trinity - and you have some really sharp suits! I wish I had white suits to dress up in!

The font you picked was cool too and the guns were really well animated - specially the explosion. Also, I loved the way you mirrorred the screen.

The one slight low point was the whole computer-smashing scene - it made me chuckle in a 'wtf' way when you started singing and smashing, but the lack of a costume on you and Andrea in that scene felt slightly disappointing.

Anyway, totally kick ass and I see this as further proof of your brilliance. I need to check out your other stuff...

Questions: was Andrea drunk?

What other programs did you use for this? What is your video camera and how much did it cost?

I'm just thinking how dressing up and being silly looks like a lot more fun than repeatedly drawing different frames.

Stay funky!

[The Lord of the Bling]

kinda unimaginative execution

Kinda liked the way you integrated reality shows taking over the land into LotR.

Also, the twins made me smile, though I was really disappointed with the character design after they joined.

Sound was well recorded and clearly voiced.

However, I thought the graphics were glitchy and unimaginative and the same goes for much of the story. I'm guessing you wanna make this an epic series, but it's just failed to capture my imagination.
