Shrapnel's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Mr. T vs Cats]

Where's Hannibal, Faces and Murdock?

Good solid "A-Team" and "All Your Base Are Belong to Us" cross-over.
The Mr. T sound bites were put in just the right spots.

Sure he didn't use his own graphics and sure the font wasn't the same as the the original
ZeroWing game and sure the jokes a little old but that didn't stop me from laughing my
ass off.

Needs a start button and replay button and perhaps even a link to the author's website.
It was also a little odd when the 2 music samples overlapped each other (ZeroWing music
with A-Team theme) and should have been seperated.. but then again, it adds to the
hokiness (yes that is a word)

And who the hell watches a clip like this and reviews it NOT knowing who Mr. T is or Cats???
Don't make an uninformed opinion or B.A. will have to kick your ass!

[ICQ / Reality Crossover]

Good visual representation of ICQ

That was an amusing clip. The voices were done quite well and the story was thought out well.
It's a small twist at the end when the geek looks at the picture (twist because he wanted to cyber with a girl before but his sexuality is questionable at the ending scene).

I liked how the characters were animated and the whole thing didn't try to be "in your face" just to get a laugh.

If you're not watching the clip and just reading reviews WATCH IT NOW!

[Growing Up]

If only growing up were this easy....

Great sound, great idea, great animation.
The screams while the hair pop-up were great.
I'm glad the author kept the hair growth scenes above the equator. I feel sorry for the character because with that much hair growing on his neck, he must look like a yeti by the time he reaches adulthood.

If only growing up were this easy....

[dedication to my mother]

..... touching.....

That was really moving....

I'm surprised the author is brave enough to put this in the portal considering the number of immature shits that review entries.

This entry shines in it's simplicity to make a point.... And the explanation at the end was wonderful and necessary for viewers here who should be taking the short bus to school.

This was a very touching entry...

I don't know what else to say....
I hope the author can survive through this stage in his life. Good luck man.

[Boogie Troubles]

Finally someone that can draw a skull right.

Finallly, an artist that can draw a bloody skull properly. Entertaining clip, creative and animated well. The voice acting was pretty good too- I love the part when the character off screen asked if it was better and the character off screen replies "yes.." Hilarity ensues.


Complaints: Audio was a little quiet and the clip needs a play button and a replay button.
Bonus: Sound of booger stuck in nose was realistic. Almost too realistic....

[dont kill the ninja:part2]

It's too bad they don't play the banjo....

Not just your ordinary ninja story...
This one has bite!
The music is well integrated with the story.
Perhaps the graphics aren't fancy but the angles and shifting perspective the author used make this worthy of a electronica music video.

What I enjoyed was the fact that the author tried to make it a funny clip and it actually was funny (in case the reader is wondering what I mean, click some of the stuff at the bottom of the portal- forced humor that just doesn't cut it)

Some may complain about the plot- but it's about ninjas, clones, and evil bosses smashing eyes out of his henchmen for fun.

The only problem with this clip is that it's too short... but hey there's a sequel around the corner!

[häppý~lánD III]

See- people don't need drugs....

The Happy Land Series is truly abstract.
Some entries are random crap put together with over used music. To some- this may seem like it- to this reviewer- this is true abstract animation.

The music chosen is appropriate and flows with the images. Sure it's just a bunch of images dragged and dropped all over the place but you could say Picasso was just putting cubes everywhere. "But what the hell is going on", you ask. Well it's not what is going on but how it's going on that's important. (Yes that is a cop out excuse but it's obvious Lazy Bastard is dreaming). I felt like I was on drugs the whole time I was watching this short....
And wasn't that the whole point???

somebody responds:

oh my god! you actually saw a plot in it! that was unintentional. its just a bunch of stuff that happens...

[X-Men]

The crappy graphics makes it charming.

This thing is so cheesy it's actually kind of funny.

But you should've made it longer- it could've be turd of the week if you did.

[Where Is My Mind?]

My only complaint is that it's too short.

It's a nice clip- the images flow together nicely with the music. My only complaint is that the whole thing is too short- I'm pretty confident the author could've used the entire song to make an entire video without cheapening the clip.

Although I admit most of the imagery in the clip probably has more meaning to the author, little things here and there like the Jesus fish implying who is catching the character who is running away (or perhaps chasing/searching?) are enough to hold different meanings for different people.

tomthinks responds:

Ya, I agree with you. It would have been better if it was longer. I was running short on ideas towards the end. Sorry I didn't make it longer. You've got good eyes.

[silverlocks (x-mas remix)]

Do you like Christmas?

Well now that's he's dead I'm not going to get the RAM I wanted for X-mas.

The build-up could've been a little longer- it would've added to the shock value. I think the intestines could've been used more strategically as well.
The clip made me laugh because I don't believe in the Jolly Fatman in Red so I'm assuming this character could've killed someone who dressed up like him- that or the character is fantasizing.
Perhaps showing the family huddling in the corner would've added to the entertainment value.

But don't get me wrong- I still enjoyed it.
And where's the milk and cookies?
