joeartguy's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[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 ^^

[earthsick]

Very well done

And an absolutely incredible job with the synch, which must have been extremely difficult. Artistic and dreamy -- great work!

notorious responds:

haha glad someone can appreciate the immense difficulty of the syncing- which was 3/4 of the time spent on this flash.

Thanks for the good review!

[Leftovers]

Low-key and hilarious

The fate of hopes and dreams is a great subject, and you've executed it deftly -- put it right into the ground, in fact. I've never had so much fun watching dreams shatter and the dead be disposed of. Bravo for your excellent flash!

FREELENS responds:

Thanks for this great review!
Cheers!

[Antigone]

I'm always pullin' for the Clocks

And flash like yours is why. You've taken one of the great plays of all human history, sublime in its depiction of the conflicts in family, law and the human condition, and acted it out in less than five minutes with talking fruit and objects. YAY CLOCKS!!

You totally beat the pack with this one! You've given me the strength to watch at least twenty bad flashes and still retain hope. And now I don't actually have to read the play! THANKS!

meep226 responds:

oh you should read the play
like i said on another comment
this is the abridged version

but thank you dearly for your review

[Gram Hummell TRIBUTE]

Not "formally"

You mean "formerly," unless he was wearing a tuxedo.

In addition to your not being able to spell, your Flash sucked. Badly.

Gavin responds:

Hey wow nobody gives a shit. By watching this flash you actually think i was going for perfection?

dIE IN A FIRE

[Rats on Cocaine - Ep # 1]

Horrific, violent, profane and nihilistic

To call this challenging material is really not saying enough: this is sickening. This flash was absolutely one of the ugliest, most awful things I've ever seen on Newgrounds, and I just can't wait to watch #2 (which I see just a bit further up the listings). This is great work, well-constructed and finely tuned; and you, sir, are a true artist. Mad props, you degenerate bastard.

ApocalypseCartoons responds:

mad thanks

[Identity (2006)]

Horrible! And well done, too.

Thank you for your contribution to this archive, and my life. Now, whenever I think I'm having really bad day, I can watch your flash and know that it's not as bad as it could be.

He said "Smile! Things could be worse." So I smiled, and sure enough, things got worse.

Peda responds:

joeartguy, you seem like a VERY nice guy. Love your optimism in life- very much like mine :)
