KennyMcB's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

Great!

I loved it, it had that story time feel to it, which fits the lil' girl theme very well. You should definately conider working on your visuals, it would amplify the creepiness of the story. The idea of of black white and red, makes it a clever composisiton, but your animtaions are simple tweens. If you animated everything and made it smoothe, the look would be a lot more impressive. Not saying it doesnt look good now, i was impressed, But better animtation would have completely sucked me in.

Very intense...

Good job piecing this together. Your angles and screen shots gave it that very intense feeling of an actual movie. Your voice actors really brought out the characters. I felt part of the story as i watched it. The only thing that took away from that feeling was the quality of the animation. Other than that it was great.

[Sin City Tribute]

was a decent flash

i liked a few of the drawings, but the cheap/simple animation did very little aswell as the fact that you only took a few segments from a few scenes form the movie itself it really wasnt a tribute. You just blandly sumorized a some of the plot...actually very little of the plot...if anything it was like a trailer for the movie...

bleh...

it was just boring...and whats with all the "punk"/"skater" shirts?...I love rancid, but this i couldnt finish. I reminded me of tomorrows nobodies gone nerdy kids ina lunch room. Nothing is wrong with a nerd, there are such things as kool nerds...

major problem with graphics...CHEAP...also kind of wrong, take asecond look at the "Rancid" shirt guy's hand again as he is eating the patty sandwhich thingy...they are flip-flopped. So it looks as if his hands were put on wrong, because they were.

I sorta responded to this in the next comment for some reason. So I guess I'll do this one at a time. 1. Punk/Skater shirts? I listen to punk, and my friend Victor (Vincent) skates. Brian doesn't even like the vandals, I made rich do that. Also what would you rather see? just black white and red shirts? That would be boring. Old Navy shirts? that would just suck. 2. Graphics? have you seen a lot of the flashes here? They have worse graphics then us, this took a hell of a long time and I think this time it was worth the effort. And the hands thing I talk about above. But really, that scene is less then 5 seconds long in a movie that is over 3 minutes. That's just nitpicking. What's the point of watching a flash movie if all your gonna do is point out those kinda things? I watch movies to laugh.

[The Little Girl]

it cought my attention and kept it...

I loved the style, it was like a creepy story book. The music was ace for it, and the narriation was decent. I didnt really care for some of the graphics but most of them were by all means ok.

The story was really strong and made watch the entire thing. Im making a simular submission at my own pace, and im sure you would like it based upon your style/taste.

Im noticing a very interesting composistion...

I like how all of your shorts kinda relate in a simple sence. Its very good. I love how in all of your shorts the character gets tossed around a lot in a unique way and you animate it pretty well.

I LOVED that last city scene with the glare of light, the city is so vast and a mass of random buildings and sky ships (floaty thing). You seem to have a strong influence of Anime and they way your going with all this you could definately create a set of main characters and actualy have a show with full dialogue...Id be willing to wait around for you to put something like that together.

Overall Keep these crazy shorts coming, or put togther a story and make a series..

Very intense...

At first when i saw your animation style i figured it would be a wanna-be kind of anime thing. In the end ive seen that your story was very entertaining. Id like to see what happens in the end if there is going to be a follow up.

Personaly i liked your story but i dont think you have the same gift when it came to presenting it visualy. You had a good concept for camera angles and shot types. If anything work on your animating or keep writting stories and partner up with a great animator.
