luckoftheirish's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Body Count]

This is really clever.

I haven't reviewed something in a long long time but this is worth it. This is very very funny. I see a lot of good animation on this site but it is rare that the writing and concept matters to anyone (See the Gamer Tonight series on the front page right now, what crap). I appreciate that you went out of the box and came up with something that was weird and creative. This was one of the few web cartoons I have ever watched and laughed heartily to. The internet is such a weird medium for cartoons in the sense that most of them just aren't anything more than snicker worthy, but this was great.

Not to mention, your animation is as good as anyone's on Newgrounds. I could seriously see something like this being adopted by Adult Swim for a little three minute mini episode in between shows. So in closing, great animation, concept, voice-work and overall production. I tip my hat to you.

Sexual-Lobster responds:

thanks v much!

[Lit Black]

I definitly approve.

Well first of all. I have always really liked this song. I loved the color scheme, pacing and overall tone of this short. So good job, way to be obscure and stylish at the same time..

[Viano]

Wow, very different.

I first saw this and thought, wow his graphics aren't that great, this is going to be lame. I gave it a chance though because of the whole artsy violin theme and it was really worth it! Even though the graphics weren't the best the animation was well done, it was choppy yet really smoothly ran together; alot of the stills were awesome. It had as much of a point as any other anime story does, so theres nothing wrong in that area. From the listed dated this appears to be your older work and it is pretty darn decent, I'd like to see you recent stuff.

[Is Murdoc dead?]

It's Iffy

It's interesting, and I'm a huge Gorillaz fan so I could appreciate this, but I'm not sure its for everybody. This just seems a wee bit pointless though since Murdoc is in fact a cartoon character, but I didn't spend my time making this, you did, i reckon you just took 5 minutes of my life, that doesn't bother me, this was pretty interesting.

[Nim's Winter tale]

Perfect, in so few words.

Ive never had a flash make me quite so happy, it was so nicely cheery. The graphics were even better than your other movie's, and the sound was top notch. If you ask me, you are the next adam phillips of newgrounds, you are absolutely spectacular, youre great at setting moods, and great at just visually appealing to people, everything was top notch.

[Gooberstory]

Wow!

This is absolutely disney quality, you should be immensley proud of yourself for making that. It had a very "ninji" feel to it, if you're familiar with the series. The graphics were supurb, the music also top notch. It was a bit anti climactice which is why it gets a 9 from me, but never the less, this was a spectacular, welcome to newgrounds in a major way.

[The Real Mortal Kombat 1]

Not bad at all.

It was crudely drawn, but if that's your style then hats off to you; it got the job done. I liked this movie to an extent, I hate most video game movies, but this atleast touched on something else than the plotline of the video game or anything of the sort. It was actually kind of clever and in parts had hints of simpsons type humour in it. Your voice acting was well done and as a whole, for your first flash, you did quite well. Do try and impliment some frame by frame animation next time though, and do such things as actually put the money in the characters hands and such. These are just constructive criticisms i assure you. Enjoy your stay on the frontpage and have a wonderful Sunday.

[Boy Machine]

Nicely done.

Fucking brilliant twist at the end, I wanted to get that out before I even review this, that was one of my favorite flash twists I've ever seen. But your graphics were weird, a little too sketchy, but they still worked, because the whole moral tone of the movie was a little sketchy and morbid. It ran really well, and i liked your voice acting. but man that concept was fucked up, and very original, pat yourself on the back for that, because that was bizaar. It was mildly funny, i liked the dialogue between the two men, and i liked how the boy doesnt talk, had you made him talk, i wouldnt of liked it. the only part i didnt like was when he was leaning against the fridge and said "get out of my washing machine" in a whiney tone, i wish you had left that part out, the voice acting glitched there. but as a whole, this gets a 9, for its fucked up concept/ending, and the good attempt at making something eerie

[coffee break]

Wow, that's fucked

Your whole approach reminds me of, David Firth meets AlanTHEbOX, and that entire concept was really fucked up, sinister as god knows what. I loved it, absolutely loved it, it just makes me wonder what made you think of this. This is something you've never really attempted, looking at your profile here, and you made a stab at this, and I really like it, the whole concept of the coffee break, it's clever, and just the fact that he killed her, it was a nice twist, I figure he'd just let her die. Tell me though, who hit her with the car?

p.s. well done buddy.

[Tinman]

Nicely put.

You are wickedly stylish, in many many ways. Honestly the whole robots with emotion thing is overdone, but you brought something to the subject that hasn't been done. It was so bleek and the mood was set so well, that it was genuinely sad. Part of me felt for the robot, and, when he made that heart it was hard not to feel bad for him. It screams style, almost to the point that you should go play bongos in a coffee house, you are an inavator of the sad robot, be proud my friend. p.s. nice graphics, they were very smooth.

BlackmarketKraig responds:

Thanks so much!

Wow, I really like this review, it's now one of my favorites.

I don't have any bongos but perhaps I should get some and work up some beat poems about sad robots...

This is my new fantasy...

Thanks for reviewing! :D
