rvyn's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[College University pt 3-3]

i guess...

...i dunno, it's still head and shoulders above most of the stuff on NG, but while the first and second episodes were just like awesome college movies, episode 3 has been like not-so-awesome college movie sequels. try to keep the pop-culture stuff in the background, and don't resort to such deceits as weed jokes and such.

[College University pt 2]

to the tune...

...of great college party movies, right up to the end. I salute you guys.

[Cats and Dogs]

great start

this was the second movie i'd seen of yours, and your progress is definitely showing. great start to a great career in flash, i must say.

[College University pt 1]

One of the best

This is great, the humor is funny but not gratuitous, and the animation is tight. I plan on seeing the rest now (in order).

[Mario Loses]

at least i viewed it.

at least I have the decency to view movies I know are gonna be bad (hint: this movie) before I give them bad reviews (hint: this review), unlike some people out there (hint: this movie's author).

[US vs Terrorists]

yeah... no.

hell in a handbasket i tell you... and you play counterstrike, you should know what sounds go with what guns, moron. You used AUG sounds for pistol, and shotgun sounds for what looks like a submachine gun.

Basically, I'd find the stupidity of the premise to be offensive if I wasn't so disgusted by the lack of effort here to begin with.

ChannelCat responds:

You have some Fu**ing Problems you know that? I made this movie quick, and second, I AM NOT TRYING TO MODEL IT AFTER A GAME!!!!!!! I WAS OUT OF SOUNDS AND DECIDED TO USE COUNTERSTRIKE!!!! - Jesus Christ guy

experimental films

my problem with experimental films like this is that while the graphics are usually top notch (which it is in this case), most of the time the content itself isn't very substantive. in fact, i find a lot of them to be deceits, since they seem to just put ominous or mysterious imagery with no reason to other than they think it looks weird.

[The Boy & The Magic Fish]

cute

the graphics were very slick, i can definitely see it as a book. the sounds were a little too fake and forced though, no subtlety. i would've preferred a little more cleverness on the fish's part in the end though.

[9/11/01]

I was there

While the prime suspect is indeed the Taliban and Osama Bin-Laden, it is still not certain that he is the culprit. The worst thing America can do right now is act violently in a state of shock.
And while this time does indeed echo the feelings of Pearl Harbor, I find the line "it feels like Pearl Harbor all over again" to be misleading. Noone here was there when it happened (almost 100% positive). And that attack was a hammer at our sides, this is a knife into our hearts.
I've seen the images, on TV, in pictures, and live. We are still recovering from it all, and our own personal denials. I would have prefered something more personal.
I live 15 miles away, and I saw the New York skyline, now forever changed, up in smoke. My father, who works in the UN, is still in the steel jungle, safe in a hotel, unable to come home. We wait.

[Hostage Situation]

Coolness

The effort really shows through, great job! If there was something I'd suggest you improve on, it's the actual animation. I wanna see those guys running and dodging!
