Joshsouza's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[60 Seconds of Awesome]

Interesting Cconcept

Yes I have seen clips in 30 seconds and 50 seconds but this one was pretty entertaining and I watched it again! It was filled with weird puns that made it entertaining but I didn't like the songs you picked to go with it. Why didn't you use any voice acting at all because It is weird listening to music while watching to a movie with no Voice Acting but at least you had sound at all or else this would have been crap.

Did I see this on the front page because I thought I did! Oh well, this was pretty good and I liked the jokes you used. They made me laugh but I don't think you put much effort into this considering that it is only 60 seconds but who knows? It had pretty decent artwork too so you get 7 for that but I enjoyed the concept the most that made it interesting because it is like telling a story that is only 10 seconds long and that is pretty creative and that is a skill that most people probably don't have except that woman who talks the fastest for a world record.

Sorry that this review isn't that long because I don'y want to spend 20 minutes writing reviews all day and since this was a short flash but overall, I think you should get a mic or something for voice acting and other things or even ask OTHER people for voice acting but yet again, they could only make audio that is 10 seconds long but anyways, here is the overall score

Art 8/10
Concept 9/10
Audio 6/10
Originality 10/10

You should make a sequel with 120 seconds of awesome so you can have 12 clips in it but I guess this was pretty good and decent so you have my word!

120 seconds of pure awesome... that's a good idea...

BTW: No, this was not front paged (sniff, sniff)

[Grandma's Cheese]

Catchy!

I really liked the song a lot and I watched it like a ton of times now because I like the song and it is fun to watch but did you make it or is it on Itunes like your other song: Get on my Horse which I liked too so I will start here:

The art was really cool and very clear but I had to right-click to see the quality so it wouldn't be so laggy but you are putting a lot of flash movies on Newgrounds in less than a month! Like On the Moon Ep. 17 and 18! Unless you were already don and posted the daily two you are allowed to post and this. I liked the design of the art too. I like that style of artwork that he used.

Like I said before, I loved the music and I think you should keep it up because they are really funny and catchy and they always have the same pitch in every one and before, you made flash with Parry Gripp's Music! Did he inspire you at all? Because that makes sense because it is as much random as your new songs.

I thought it was too bad that it couldn't be a loop but if you did I would probably be staring at my monitor for at least an hour and at the end when it said "More Cheese? I thought it was going to take me to your profile on here but no. I have been ignoring it even though I could have skipped the pre-loader again. Oh well! I liked the ryhme at that too and i put my mouse over it like 20 times because it sounded funny.

Yes, your flashes are original like always which is good. I saw two videos copying Sh0t-D0wn's "I got no Iphone" flash because nobody wants those and the people who do that are noobs. I also notice that you put a lot of creativity into these to make it completely random to make it more original because when you want to make an original flash, just make it completely random like that show, "Chowder" and your "Badger" flash.

I put a lot of effort into your flashes because they are always enjoyable to watch like "A Walk in the Woods" I laughhed my ass off see that bunny thing crapping uncontrollably. Did he use laxatives! That is very uncommon to most animals. Sorry to go off topic there. I just have a lot to tell you in this review even though you probably aren't reading this right now. I still like writing these!

I think you should work on making it less repetetive. I got king of bored watching it this time. But I think you should mmake a Christmas Flash sometime this month because I don't think you have ever done one on Newgrounds unless you are working on one right now but when is the next 8-Bit PWNY club coming out? I really enjoy those the most and they actually NEVER get old. I am sorry if I am asking too much questions I just like your creative flashes so much and I know you are probably busy with other things in your life.

I seem to tend on making long reviews to things I like because it is so easy to review on stuff I like and I feel like I have really accomplished something when I do make super-long reviews like this.

If I would, I would reccommend this to everyone I know that goes on this website or digg right now or something. You deserve something like that for a good flash and since I have already voted a 5 for you and favorited it, I am digging it to help since you always get crummy reviews and to everyone who is just about to say " nice flash, good job", do you really think that will help him at all! This is REVIEWING! Not COMMENTING! I am just pointing that all out to all of you and I myself used to make reviews like the ones below me until I saw that the button read "Review"

I really liked this like I said about 100 times about now so overall you have a ground-breaker here and you deserve more for your effort and here is the overall score in my longest review EVER!

Art 10/10
Audio 100/10 (No that is not a typo!)
Creativity 10/10
Effort 10/10
Originality 10/10
Concept 10/10

So before you press that button, look at my reviews and make more like mine but they don't have to be long as THIS of course! This freakin review took me 20 minutes to write but put in constructive criticsm on t!

5/5
10/10
Reached the character limit so good by

[Microcosm]

Interesting

At first I thought it was going to be a typical story about a man late for work but good thing that wall was there! That made the storyline, the creativity, and originality very good! So I will start with the art:

I liked the regular black and white like regular comics and it was a cool twist once he hit that random wall and he could control what will happen and when it will happen and I liked the non-stick artwork because that would have made it suck very badly.

The storyline was well thought-out and very good how he reached other panels of the comic for more of an advantage and hoow you got a way to get enemies in it to make it have more action and make it more exciting but where did he get the pencil at the end? But the end reminded me of the Pencilmation series and I can't say what happened to ruin the fun for all of you guys :)

There was much detail into it too but also quite basic but it was very original how first, it was a comic flash which I had never seen before except for Pencilmation but I don't think that counts though. Plus how he fell all through the timeline (comic strips) and landed into trouble literally. But by now you must be as happy as hell that it is Number One Top Scoring... For now.

This is a good flash I had seen in a while but when I saw the gif image, I thought it would be a completely random and experimental flash but why was there an earth as a pre-loader if it has nothing to do with the story at all! It would also be cool if this was some kind of game because it would kind of fit in with using the pencil and grabbing crap from future/past panel like a platformer but I'm just saying this would be cool. Not that you need to make it.

But what if he went back in time and stopped him from bumping his head for some reason? Sure it would ruin his adventure but it would stop him from getting in trouble. At first when that guy said "You have found out the fourth wall" or something but at that moment I was thinking: Wtf? The fourth wall?
But that made it kind of more mysterious in thee story.

I am sure you put a LOT of effort into making this because it was one of the "Movie of the week" style flash since it was so long and fun to watch a billion of times which is a good skill for making flash. But I really enjoyed it soo much that I can't think of a way to improve it at all that it was so good!

But anyways overall it was really fun to watch with much creativity and originality. Plus the fact that you probably took forever making this beautiful movie. Other than that here is the overall score:

Effort 10/10
Audio 10/10
Originality 10/10
Creativity 10/10
Concept 10/10
Art 10/10
I hope you make more as creative as this good flash because this is SERIOUSLY on the top 50 all time scoring! Just keep it up and I hope you enjoyed this super-long review!

10/10
5/5

[DASH it!]

Wow! Amazing!

The quality was even still awesome on the low setting and was well well worth the wait and used nice catchy music but at first I thought it was from newgrounds but I guess I was wrong.

I liked the 3-D vector that made the video so cool and all the imagination you put into it but who cares if there were stick figures in it, it was awesome! I am pretty sure you put a crapload of effort into this and I really liked it.

Like I said, an EXELLENT choice of song and it is STILL in my head right now while writing this review. If I could choose I think this should be in the top ten all--time scoring even though it is already in the top fifty.

I found this video in the top-fifty too I saw it on the front page but I was too bored to look at it because every time I see a good video, I have the urge to make a good review with it to make it more popular than it already is.

But the thing that confuses me is, why is it called "Dash It"? Is that the name of the song but oh well. I would figure it to be in an old pixel game. That would be cool too and what is with the beeps at the end? I just don't get it.

I liked all of the random pictures that viewed to make it more mysterious as it is but that made it less boring and what is with the pixelized things in the menu? That is the only pixel thing besides the text that said "Dash It".

In the description I didn't think it was going to be a good movie because you spelled a lot of things wrong or that was just craft in your writing. I don't know. But it was weird how you made everything violent, well umm... not violent.

The video was very original too but what imspired you to make this? It must have been good considering the fact that you probably spent weeks making this.

So overall I thought this was creative and pretty cool to see all of the vector 3-D art in all of it so here is the overall score:

Creativity 10/10
Originality 10/10
Art 10/10
Audio 10/10
Concept 10/10
Effort 10/10

Like I say in my other reviews, I intend to make super long reviews on very good submissions and that is a compliment to you. I conclude this review to say... Make More music Videos Like these!

10/10
5/5
Very Neat Job!

[The Shape N' Shape Collab]

Funny!

I loved how it was like the original: Bad animation, Horrible Artwork, and that was pretty much the joke on the first one!

So I liked al the jokes they used considering the fact that they probably picked this collab because they are horrible at animating. LOL. My favorite ones where the one when that one circle stole the candy and the round square one. Those were funny and I can't believe how long this was and that it actually took more than 2 mb of space! That's just weird.

I wonder why nobody picked a collab for this yet? but since this is the only one, I guess this is pretty original considering the fact that there was only three of these now I think that are good including the original, some other one and this one and I am pretty sure there are a bunch of other crappy ones ou there but I don't feel like searching it up here.

Some of the voice acting was part of an 11 year-old sounding kid at some point but who cares. I was pretty dissapointed that there was no voice acting on one of them because it didn't fit in very well. he should have gotton a microphone or someone tio voice act for him. My other favorites where the mac and windows one, the one that only had the text that said "shape" and the orange one.

And yes I spent more time writing this review than watching this but overall I liked it. here is the overall score:

Art 10/10 (Because of joke)
Originality 10/10
Animation 10/10 (Because of Joke)
Comedy 10/10
Creativity 10/10
Effort 10/10 (Because of joke)

I hope you enjoyed this review!

ChandlerThompson responds:

Wow, it's truly amazing to see your skill in writing reviews, Joshsouza. It's a total improvement from when you asked me to review your Dot Game, I guess the Review Request Club has taught you well.

Anyway, I'm really happy you enjoyed this. This was my first collab I've led, and we've gotten a pretty negative response towards it so far, but your entertainment from it really makes me happy. Gustavos made the one with the candy that you enjoyed so much, you should check out his other work, he is a very kind person and an excellent flash artist.

I feel no one picked the collab for it because I rushed to the Flash Forum to make sure the idea hadn't already been taken. We started the collab right after the shape fad started, but we unfortunately submitted the flash right when the shape's popularity was ending. I thought most people tried to focus on keeping the theme of their flashes similar to the originals, like JohnnyUtah and Stamper, but despite many people's opinions I am still proud of the final product and all I have learned from this collab.

The voice acting was very childish, mainly because this collab was branching out to many users that had never taken part in a collab before, due to the collab being such an easy and simple topic to animate about. The Mac and PC one was by 14hourlunchbreak, the Shape word one was by GordonFreeman-16, and the orange one was made by adam2510.

Thanks again for the review, I hope my response has answered some of your questions too. Keep reviewing flashes my man, you've got some of the best etiquette for reviewing I've seen in a long time!

[LARRY episode 1]

Funny as HELL

I don't know where to start but I know that the ending credits were from Sonny 2. Yay! I Noticed! So I will start in the next paragraph.

First of all the plotline was PERFECT! Also the way you made it funny too like when the door got slammed on Larry's face and when Larry beat up that guy. I laughed like HELL. I couldn't stop laughing. If I could choose this for the best movie of the year next to Tarboy, and Waiting for the Bus, I would choose this one!

The artwork was really good too like in the backrounds and stuff. I also like how the king was so stupid and Larry had to wear a dress to it. I don't care if these take 2-3 months long because this series has come to a very good start and I hope it stays that way.

The animation was really smooth and I like how everyone mistaked him as a boy and I bet the king's advisor is gonna be pissed when he gets good. But I think you put too much blood in the door pat because I don't think that would happen i real life but it was still very funny.

Although I would only view this on youtube for the full screen viewing but I don't know, if it is on HD i might view it there for now on. I liked how at first I thought this was SERIOUS but then he said "I'm Screwed" and I knew this was going to be funny. I also love how Larry's family is so stupid like his mom is so unaware and his father is fat and his brother is Emo and well.. his sister isn't half bad.

I like how he kept the bandage on so it makes him look like a gil with a red nose but how did he get his tunic back at the end? Maybe his mom washed it already.

I couldn't find out how to make this review bigger so here is the overall score:

Plot 10/10
Story 10/10
Lolitude 10/10
Artwork 10/10
Animation 10/10
I hope this series gets even better so you have my word!
5/5
10/10

Jazza responds:

actually the ending credits were composed specifically for this movie :P

whoa big compliment thanks man. i LOVE tarboy so i'd never even try and take anyones vote away from that.

yeah with all that blood on the door smack, it was my intention from day one to have a little too much violence then realistically possible in these episodes, so you'll probably see more of that in the future.

he got his tunic back in the end coz he went home to change and he and kikket are walking to kikkets place for their first day of training. :)

thanks heaps for the detailed review i really like that. ur the man :)

[Pinball-like Echoes]

Interesting

I like how all the lines in the art were the same and It looked reallly good and at first I thought this was going to be a spam flash but it wasn't. I like how they were on some alien planet and how all of the things looked liked Dr. Suess' creations. *I also like the song that went with it (It got stuck in my head!) and how the eyeball wasn't damaged at all in the end. I also like all the characters involved and how they actually did something. I also like how therewas a twist at the end and I am not going to spoil it for you :).

Here is the overall Score

Art 10/10
Concept 10/10
Originality 10/10
Effort 10/10

[The Sculpture]

Creepy

I liked art a lot, this should have gotten first place in daily scores. The animation wasn't all that smooth. I also like the idea of this. But why didn't that guy just blink! Or that scared guy just look at him. I got a litle freaked out when the face showed up but you were good on the detailing on that. You should make a second one or something because this one was really good and I want to know the rest of the story or like how did it originate. But why did they have a test with INNOCENT people. they should have put people that were in jail to test it out in like that movie, Death Race or whatever it is called. You put a lot of imagination into this. I really liked this. Be nice if you added a screamer of his face at the nd to REALLY scare us. The art kind of looked all pixelized and crappy. Why is that?

Anyways, here is the overall score:

Art 10/10
Voice Acting 10/10
Fear Factor 7/10
Efdort 10/10
Originality 10/10
Concept 10/10
Like I said, make a tribute or something

PBass responds:

Thanks for the compliment, but I don't think I could have competed with HotDiggedyDemon, he blew me out of the water! The guy who was scared didn't turn around because he was, well, freaking out and panicking. The other guy didn't just wink one eye at a time because that's hard to do for any long period of time.
As much as I'd like to take credit the idea is not mine and comes from http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com, there's a whole wealth of other articles and TONS more information! The innocent people were actually death row inmates, and the foundation kills them at the end of each month regardless.
I was thinking of including one last screamer, but I felt like that distracted from the eeriness of the ending. The art was pixelated because I have a hard time compiling sound in flash, so I finished it in Adobe Premiere Pro and then imported the .flv file back into Flash to add the preloader and export it as a swf.

Thanks for the review! I'll be making some more of these later!

[Dodraugen]

It came out of it's *****!

The ending didn't really startle me that much because we all saw it coming. The photoshopping didn't really go with the movie because next to it was badly drawn pipes.

The art was pretty good if it only took you 5 hours but that just tells me that you didn't put much effort into it. But why did the snake thing come out off it's *****.it just didn't look right.

The thing that really scared me though was that guy's face. I mean seriously! THAT was the creepiest part. Oh yeah, what's with all of the retards reviewing you. THIS IS NOT COMMENTING. I try to say that to every submission that doesn't have at LEAST ONE GOOD REVIEW ON THE PAGE.

But you should at least put a picture on the loading screen because I got bored reading the text. What's with the music too? If you want to scare someone at least put SCARY music.

So like I said it didn't really startle me. It just made me open my eyes. Well here's the overall score:

Art 10/10
Origiality 10/10
Effort 6/10
Fear Factor 4/10
Concet 6/10
This is an OK flash I guess

Assios responds:

Thanks for a good review. The reason why I made it in like 5 hours, was that I wanted to submit it on Halloween. And yeah, I'll add a background picture to the preloader.

And for the music, I wanted to put "glad" or "normal" music when the guy is sitting there, and "scary" music (I used the Jaws theme) when the snake is crawling up the pipes.

Thanks :)
