joeartguy's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Good Time Merry Boys 5]

Very interesting

The childish, ugly art style belied a delicately-tuned, well-scored and excellently directed tale of friendship, love an loss. I'm glad I stuck it through 'til the end! This is a very finely crafted piece of work indeed.

[Basso Profundo]

Profound -- and bizarre

Your story of a great gift, unearned and thus misused, is both hilarious and unsettling -- a musical editorial cartoon that both delights and disturbs. A unique and entertaining work that I thoroughly enjoyed!

[The Last Hour: Chapter 1]

There's really nothing here.

It's just some techno music and a shot of a spaceship moving. Exposition is not the same as story -- story is something we actually see happening. The Antichrist? Aliens? An unholy alliance? Humans? Earth? I didn't see any of those things, and they're apparently what your story is supposed to be about.

You'll get a better rating when you actually show some of the cool things you just put up text about. Any of them.

Jaiba responds:

Well the plot is just starting to develop.

[Oh Noez Land Shark]

Very, very strange

And I say that after having seen a lot of strangeness. Your mix of video, animation, and pure nonsense was very entertaining, even more so for being like nothing else on the site. In fact, you get extra credit from me for producing something this off-kilter -- I can honestly say I kept watching because I had no idea how it would turn out. Or if.

Glad this is keeping you off the streets. Well done!

Gerkinman responds:

But this movie was filmed on the streets ;D

Thanks for the review ^^

[Restaurant Of Alice]

Very interesting

Personally, I was fascinated by your approach in this Flash. The fluid, ever-changing text coupled with Guthrie's sprechstimme was a real stroke of genius. Even though I've heard this song countless times -- more than enough to grow bored with it on the radio every Thanksgiving -- I found the combination you've created entrancing, and was disappointed when it ended so prematurely. Doing the whole song would be a monumental feat, but I have no doubt I'd watch your version for all 18.3 minutes! Very good (if quite unfinished) work.

[ScientLOLojyuuichi!!]

Hilariously hilarious with hilariosity

Stylistically, your Flash is the most accomplished fusion of mad current skills and old-school "animutation" stylings I have ever seen, and a fantastic piece of work. In content, it buries the sendup needle. Smooth, incisive, vicious -- what more excellence could I ask for? (Although I did half expect Anonymous to be Colin Mochrie, just for old time's sake.)

If this review doesn't permanently ban me from Scientology, my lack of money will. Great work for a probably pointless cause!
