Stroberider's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[No Remorse]

I have a critical problem for you to solve...

After watching this animation, this question popped into my mind. I know this is a hard question, but I've been debating on this one since I had Critical Thinking, and this very same question was asked to the class. There are only 3 answers you can chose to answer this question, so choose wisely.

If you were walking down the street and a masked man grabbed you and pulled you over to a dark alley-way while pointing a gun to your head and showed you 12 small children in a line with their mouths taped-up and he said, "I'll give you a choice. You either shoot and kill one of these children, and I'll let you and the rest of the children go unharmed, or I'll let you go unharmed, and I'll kill all of the children. If you can't decide, I will kill all of the children and your life will be taken as well. WHAT DO YOU DO BABY!?

I, personally, don't think my life is as precious as all those children together, but I would risk my life to save ALL of the children, but then I would risk every single one of those childrens' lives by trying to be a hero. So, that leaves me with murder in the 1st degree by taking one of the children's life, which would be better than having every single one of them die. So, I would have to choose a child to kill, unfortunately. :( I know you will chose wisely because you stated the prevention from "...fucking up the rest of my life...”

This critical thought is a very similar situation...life/death decisions. Thanks for being wise and sharing this dramatic piece!!

[Murray the Monkey ep. 1]

Oh, hell yeah!!!!!

Anything with cow-ape, ass-kickin' in it has got my vote to the top; especially as smooth as this one was.

I have one question though...How did Murray keep his "overwear" so clean when you get a close-up of him parachuting off the top of that building with "underwear" that's a leaf?

Excellent job with the syncing of music and aniMOTION. Murray is the tighty-whites master!! @^0^@

[I Love Egg EP.8]

Can we say.......ORIGINAL!?!?

My friend you have just made the rest of my night, even though it's 12:20am right now. I should've watched this right when I woke up so that I could have that pleasurable memory of hopping "egg-people" bouncing around in my head. It's simply remarkable how happy this can make you feel after viewing it.

Anyway, your graphics are superbly drawn, and the animation is incredibly perfect. It's got a little "kiddy" humor, but the graphics are what keep this show goin'. Don't get me wrong, it was pretty funny, but it was cuter. No matter how lame you could've made this piece, it would've been a perfect 10en in my records because of the amazing animation and the clean drawings. All that adding on to the animation with clothes and other various items popping into place must've taken quite some time to perfect. Man, if only we could do that, we'd be in "egg-heaven".

This just shows that talent can need no words. It's amazing how well the message came across a lot easier if you use no words to describe what's going on. Egg symbolism is all you need. @o_0@

Incredible job!!!

[Xiao Xiao No. 3]

The Bruce Lee of stick figures!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As long as this piece has been on Newgrounds, I finally get to review it.

I've always thought that stick figures were for people who didn't know how to draw, but damn, do you give personality to a bean pole with a pea for a head. If it has incredible animation, it's a full 10 in my books. People shouldn't be so critical on what the animation looks like, but more of how it looks. That's why Flash, 3D Studio Max, Maya, Director, Soft Image, etc. are called ANIMATION programs, not graphics programs. And that's why the submissions are called animations. There's a big emphasis in the making.

Well, just to add to the glory, here's my 10.

[Megaman 2: pt 1 Bubbleman]

I likes...A LOT

Dude, your animation is very impressive on this piece. I love the lighting and shading effects you creatively implemented so nicely together. The "camera" angles were very well layed out too. It was funny watching Megaman turn electro-seafood into disfunctional sushi. It would've been cool if you used the "Bubbleman Funked Up OC remix" for the battle scenes. That would have fit this animation perfectly. But, the tracks you chose worked out well with the timing. You are definitely headed in the right direction. Awesome job!!

[Friday The 13th Part Deux]

You sick monkey! ;)

Oh, boy. Where shall I start?

O-kay, this was a VERY long animation, but put together VERY well. The incorporation of the sprites and animation along with plot shifts were done very nicely. The only thing that was more disturbing than the music, (and man was that music monotonous), was the abundant masterbation and perverted ending with Jason doing "something" in a flashback in the cave. (Don't want to spoil the twist at the end for the people who haven't seen this.)

The thing I really liked about this movie was not wanting to wait, but wanting to see what was going to happen next. That part of the animation was excellent. I do have a question about how Jason magically reappears back to his normal size after being shrunkin from Duke. I guess it's just like all the sequals to the Friday The 13th movies after the second one. Jason magically comes back to life. But, that I do know why because he has some kind of curse that won't let him die.

Anyway, you need to use a little more humor than masturbation and sexually related humor. Great work other than the repetitive sexual crap.

[Evolution of Man]

Cute, but not that creative

That's a good idea to make an intro to all your movies, but it needs a little something extra. It's kinda' bland right now. Maybe if you could incorporate your little round guy inside your name some way. Or, better yet, your last name could be backwards and then scramble to spell correctly since your last name is "Inverse", which means opposite or contrary. I don't know, something that would add a little more flavor to your name/title.

I really like the sound FX that the round dude was making. They’re not very common sounds that you can find anywhere, unless, of course you made those sounds yourself. Keep working on it, it definitely has more potential.

0-The-Dark-0 responds:

All the sounds but 2 were my making. some had my voice, some was just me banging teh microphone and editing teh sound- others were me dropping things.
Thanks for hte tips!

[Jug punch]

I laughed the first time...

...and every time I look at it again, I still laugh. What really made this interesting was the fact that you don't get to see this every day. As goofy as it is, it does hit a funny bone somehow; for me anyway. I think short simple things like this get a better message across than some long, epic animation. It's simple...it's short...and it's easier to follow. Therefore, it's easier to enjoy.
