velex's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Quest of the Manwhore]

Fantastic

Love gooseman's random solo (and the callback to his days on american idol)!

Sexual-Lobster responds:

these days he's content to pull the strings for fernando's mushrooming musical career, but his own dreams are just under the surface.

[Dance of the Manwhore]

oh rapterjesus

That was good, classic fernando.
"Drenched deep in sweaty brine" has the coolest darkest scene ever!

Sexual-Lobster responds:

thanks, yeh the last shot definitely has a strong anime flavour

[War of war]

Consplodtacular!

Dude, the animation was great! I really liked the penciled style of the scenery. And it was short and sweet, no four minute random killing thing, just a little war story. Great job!

[The Pigpen]

Brilliant

Ok, that was incredible! I loved the social commentary about the futility and corruption built into the monetary system, where you have to sacrifice your humanity and harm others for yourself to benefit. And then overall, all your money ends up going to a few rich fat cats, who train people like animals on a simple incentive system that merely exists to maintain their status quo. Very 1984, or animal farm like (except about capitalism).

Anyway you said its not a metaphor, but I completely disagree. Brilliant.

Also, the animation and sound were amazing.

[LoL: Oh Yes And Spiders]

Really Touching

I absolutely love your sense of humor. Its a nice mix of dry sarcasm and satire, especially from Link, with plenty of life-like human interactions among the characters. Gives the viewer a good socially accepted feeling akin to joking with friends.

Thank You

Emptygoddess responds:

If my friends treated me like that, i'd have them put down.

[DARE]

Wonderful

I was a bit disappointed that such a free spirit became religiously institutionalized,but otherwise it was a great story. Very moving.

[Custodial Catastrophe]

Good

I liked it. It was simple and funny. Good animation too. Although the radiation burns were just screaming in my mind "PAINT BRUSH". Not that theres anything wrong with that. Good Job!

VillainousTurtleSLC responds:

I actually at first drew those radiation burns very carefully, then erased them and redrew them simply because I didn't want to draw them carefully 500 times. Thanks velex!

[Larvae]

Freaky

It was definately very well done, kind of like some wierd film project. If anyone has dreams like this, get a psychologist.

[Bioshlock 2]

Oh Rocky!

God, I loved the over the top Rocky Horror refranceing. As soon as I saw the Big Daddy dressed like that i was all "Oh god, hes having a Frank-N-Furter moment."

[Ultra Lego Death]

Nice

I've done some doodling with claymation/legomation and it is very grueling work. You must of taken quite a while to get it looking smooth-ish. The camera quality isn't great but otherwise sublim.
