[Tribute to Monks]

Funny, but short

^^Good Points^^
Monks...I assume you're talking about like D&D monks or something. I guess this is a good idea, though I've never heard of monks being that great. I thought this was funny though. The jokes were funny like "WTF are those?" and "Anything they touch explode". I just liked the general mood of this. It was very informative and very funny. I'll know to stay away from monks from now on.

^^Needs Improving^^
Seriously, this movie should be no bigger than 200kb in size, yet this turns out to be over 3MB...You should compress your music. The drawings weren't too good either, though I guess using the real pictures is better than you drawing them.

[When Grannys Go Bad!]

Can't even watch this...

I didn't watch this whole movie. I watched up until right after the first old lady stopped talking, and I feel no guilt in giving this movie a one for an overall score without watchign the whole thing. Your voice overs were what really made me stop watching this. They were just plain annoying, and weren't convincing at all. Next time, try not to scream into your microphone. The graphics were poor as well. Lines and circles for bodies and nothing more. You could have done so much to make this bearable for me.

[Citi Identity Theft]

What's wrong with this??

^^Good Points^^
At a score of 0.98 I was expecting this to be a screamer or be seizurific or something like this, but really this wasn't bad at all. It's a good parody of the commercials (maybe that's why most people don't get it?) and I found it quite a humorous parody! The drawings were ok, and I liked your speakonia usage.

^^Needs Improving^^
The animations weren't too good at all, since nothing really moved, but when there were animations, they were not well done. I don't see why you didn't expand on this a little more either.

[Kevalots Tutorial]

Wow, this is a bad tutorial.

^^Good Points^^
The NG logo fading looked nice, but I'm pretty sure you didn't make that yourself. I also liked how you drew a Flash window to make this look better.

^^Needs Improving^^
There is a ton wrong with this, and I'm sure I will forget some stuff. First off, the Next button is really hard to press. Next time make the whole triangle a button, and not just a small area of it. Next, you should put a menu button on each frame since your tutorials seem to be drawn out with a bunch of useless crap. Your explanations aren't very good, and this is pretty outdated. Also, after you go back to the menu, the buttons for each section don't work anymore.

[Arskagarf TT]

A good TT!

^^Good Points^^
It seems like a rare occurance for a TT on NG to be of high quality, however, this one seems to break the norm and is actually a good collab with lots of good parts to it. Arskagarf's part and Kelp's part were my two favorites, but each part was unique. For the most part they weren't just short, crappy loops, and some time was actually put into them. The W.O.S seems to be delivering good work every time!

^^Needs Improving^^
Um...there was one part, forget which one that was just a loop. Loops aren't very good in my opinion.

Arskagarf responds:

Rinoa's and Cannabis Clock's were both loops. I did like Rinoa's because of the fact that it shows Arskagarf with the world on a shank. You are right about how this turned out, it did seem to be quite better than most time trials you would come across. Thank you for another swell review.

[A day with a cactus part2]

LOL!

^^Good Points^^
This second edition is even better than the first one! The graphics were much better, which really helped me to get into this more and enjoy it more. I liked the voice overs and of course there was a ton of humor in this movie. Very good job on this movie.

^^Needs Improving^^
The graphics could still use the most improving out of anything in this movie, but I guess it kind of characterizes the movie, so your still golden man.

kingofthecactus responds:

Yeah sorry, I suck at drawing.

[A day with a cactus part1]

Funny throughout

^^Good Points^^
This movie was definitely funny to watch. The best part was the wal-mart scene. I like how you made such mean references to the people of Wal-Mart and retarted people. It was still funny though, especially when the wheel chair dude ran over the ramp. Good times here, good times.

^^Needs Improving^^
Obviously the graphics are not very good at all. Your drawings are devoid of any detail or shading, and the pictures you took were poorly cropped and low detail. There was also very poor animations.

[How To Win Portal Awards]

Hmmm...

^^Good Points^^
I really liked the introduction to this. The music was really cool, and the animations were pretty well done as well.

^^Needs Improving^^
This is kind of like that movie "How to write reviews", which I'm sure you remember. This really didn't shed much light on how to win awards other than the obvious, like "make it really good" is kind of a given to win the daily feature. Sorry, but this doesn't really help me too much.

Frenzy responds:

Thanks for your review, first of all!

Also, now that I think about it, I guess this would be helpful to newcomers to Newgrounds who don't really know much about the site...

Once again, thanks for reviewing, any review is appreicated!

[edgardos adventures]

Pretty good.

^^Good Points^^
This is a pretty good movie. Your drawings are above average compared to most things, and the simplistic animations get your point across, yet look well done. I liked the sound effects you used. They were perfect for a beach scene. I laughed at this even though it was random violence, and I'm looking forward to watching some episodes in the future.

^^Needs Improving^^
Sure, this was short, but I still think it was a little too drawn out. It seems like you stalled in certain parts to lenghten this a bit.

[homer.swf]

lol...

^^Good Points^^
This is definitely a...unique piece. The randomness was kind of funny at points. The ending was also hilarious. It made no sense, but this was funny. I liked the sound effects and music you used as well. Funny stuff here, I think.

^^Needs Improving^^
Kind of short, I think. I would have liked to see a lot more of this random stuff. I didn't like the first part either, the music is just disturbing.
