BlueKoalaClock's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Tim Burton's "A Pirate"]

This, too, is damn fancy.

Seriously, this is the best clock movie I've ever seen since "Easy Way Out." 10/10

ClockRadio responds:

Munglai and Tim Burton have been rivals for 27 years is what I heard

[StagBeetle Gets Robbed]

Now that was damn fancy.

The choice of music at he beginning was really nice, as it was for the rest of the flash. The animation was quite choppy, in fact it was pretty much incompetent, but I could tell that it was that way on purpose, which is nice to know. The plot itself was somewhat incoherent at times, but it was also very funny, so I'm fairly convinced that this is an awesome movie.

[[Progress] 1. Fish]

Pretty good for a first flash.

I liked the general art/animation style but to me the bobber is too big or something compared to the fish. Also, though it had a good moral, I thought the movie was just a little too short. I also think the movie would've been better if the seagull noises were more subtle. Other than that, though, this is a pretty good movie, and it's nice to see a first flash that isn't something thrown together in twenty minutes with stick figures and no audio. Keep up the good work!

Aww.. now I feel kind of bad. "nice to see a first flash that isn't something thrown together in twenty minutes"...

But thank you for such a high score and kind review! I'll keep in mind the pointers you gave.

[What Birthers Believe]

A fine piece of satire.

I think this was a very funny flash lampooning the birthers' beliefs. The animation was fairly smooth, though it consisted mostly of talking heads. I also found the art style to be pretty smooth and sleek, although gradients were overused a bit in some parts. I really liked the design for that witch doctor guy. But as for the content of the film itself, I thought that it made a point in a funny way but without really applying said point heavy-handedly like a lot of "humourous" political satire does.

[ClockDay with Michael Bay]

Clocks + Michael Bay spoof = great

Well the animation itself wasn't much to write home about, I really liked this parody of Michael Bay's directing style. It was also pretty funny how when OrangeClock exploded, he turned into orange juice. The music used in the flash also fit in very well with the movie. However, I've noticed that recently everyone's been parodying Michael Bay's movies. How come it's taken until now for everyone to realise his movies are pretty much nothing but action? Also, I noticed that in the scene with OrangeClock, the background is narrower than in the other scenes, which I thought didn't look very good. Aside from that, I liked this flash a lot.

DrSevenSeizeMD responds:

Thanks for your review! I'm new to flash, and I only used 4 scenes, so the background being narrow is probably my fault, I changed the backgrounds on one layer. You are right about how Michael Bay is getting more attention lately. I guess because of Transformers. Thanks for the comment on the music, we really tried to make it fit, so you just made our night. :-)

[LL - Pregnancy]

That was something!

The intro-type thing was crazy, and made me grin for no apparent reason. Also, did you do all that a cappella music stuff yourself? Because that was quite catchy itself. As for the rest of the movie, I thought it was well-drawn, in a style more unique than that of other Lock movies I've seen. I also liked that thing you did with the speech-arrows being keys. Oh, and the plot in general, especially the part where WineLock spouts gibberish while in labor, to be very funny. My only complaint is that WineLock's speech was too slow, but other than that, awesome flash, great job!

[Abnormally bbq-ish day]

Another BBQBEEF mastercreation.

The flash started off slowly and subtly with BBQBEEFBURGERMAN and Ham the Sandwich talking about religion, but then the plot twists! I thought it was pretty funny when the crazy lady announced "He's not a Christian!", but it was even funnier when BBQBEEFBURGERMAN apparently shit himself in shock. As usual, the film grain effect you use in most of your flashes adds to the general mood of the movie, and the way you animated the crazy lady's mouth reminds the of Clutch Cargo, and for this reason, slips somewhat into the "Uncanny Valley." In short, this is a brilliant flash, much like most other BBQBEEF flashes.

[the zombie massacre]

What the hell is this?

Though the characters were fairly well-drawn, the art style was very rough and there was very little animation. I honestly couldn't understand the plot (at least not until the end of the movie), and the voice acting was almost entirely unintelligible. And also: that wasn't exactly the most clever edit of the NG preloader I've seen; the way there was a small white border-type thing around the awesome face lowered the general quality of it. I'm afraid this movie wasn't that great, aside from how the characters were drawn.

[drive through]

Fairly entertaining.

Your lip-synching wasn't that great, and the art and animation in general seemed thrown-together, as though you made this in 20 minutes and not 3 months. And for some reason, the dialogue and the animation were strangely reminiscent of the show Home Movies. Still, the audio itself was pretty funny, and some of the pictures that accompanied it (like the half-Diet Coke, half-regular Coke Frankensoda) were also quite amusing.

holyforks responds:

like i said it was more of a test to try out different types of lip-syncing

[Adolf Hitler:CAI493+D 201]

One of the stranger flashes I've seen.

Honestly, there isn't much to review, considering this "movie" was little more than a strangely-recoloured picture of Hitler holding a pokeball in front of some ruins while some sort of Japanese music played in the background. But I found that alone quite amusing (and maybe even funny, I'm not sure), mostly due to the sheer absurdity of it. That being said, I think the intro to the movie was gratuitously long; there wasn't much of it that grabbed my attention and quite frankly, it bored me quickly. However, the "movie" itself was strange enough to almost make it worth the wait.
