Blackharrier32's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[GGE - Episode 1]

I needed that!

It hasn't been the greatest of days for new submissions, then THIS came along and its preloader was able to make me laugh, good job!
Concept wasn't particularly new, nerdy games reviewer yelling at the top of his voice to compensate for his lack of...well, everything, including decent games... But the execution of the script was solid enough.
Art and animation probably won't win any awards, but this isn't an art competition, and you got the job done. Homemade FLA was interesting, though for the length of time needed to load it would want to be!
Audio was superb. "Preloader Song" put me in laughing mood, the OTT games reviewer was parody-point-perfect (nice one Shafty) and there was no noticeable extraneous recording noise, which we all know is something of a plague on Newgrounds at times.

All in all, very well done. Looking forward to future installments!

[Ray - Part 3 Introduction]

This piece speaks for itself...

...there's no need for a long review. Ray 3 looks like it will be amazing. Ray finally gets to be a fully legitimate character rather than just our presence in the game, the whole thing drips with class. Let's hope it shows up sometime because we'll all lose out if it doesn't.

[MGS - Cobra Unit Club]

One for the fans.

It's a pity this didn't make the MGS Flash Collab, it would have fitted in nicely there.
I liked the concept a lot, though I am a huge MGS fan so that's not a great surprise! It shouldn't be criticised for that though, it was made by a fan for the pleasure of fans, and everyone likes to see the Boss :) it was well-scripted as well, perfect cheesy marketing spiel.
Art and animation was very good, in keeping with the high standard set by most other MGS parodies on the site - very nice to look at if you can forget that image of The End :P
Audio was good, well chosen, well implemented. Voiceover was totally on the mark for that kind of sleaze and cheese feel.

All in all, very good. A little on the short side, which would have been fine in the collab, but it does reduce its ability to stand up on its own.

[How Bees Make Honey]

*Resists urge to make awful bee-related pun*

I liked this one a lot, more than I expected. Good animation, good audio, and cute subject matter. All you were missing was a play button rather than an autostart.

[TIH - Hugs]

Epic.

This is one of the few vids to get both a 5/5 vote and a 10/10 review score from me. There's pretty much nothing I disliked about it!
Concept and script was excellent. The whole idea of non-humans trying to profit from human affection was genius, and the dialogue worked well (only ever deliberately clunky :P)
Animation was...well, superb. Well illustrated, well animated, often flashy but never overly-so. I couldn't fault it.
Audio was great. Voice acting was both well-executed and well-implemented, and the music was well chosen too.

Enjoy your perfect score, you earned it. Looking forward to the future installments!

[How to Use Scissors]

5/5 - It's just that easy

I liked this quite a bit! You kept it simple, and the approach paid off. Plus, I quite like parodies of those old-timey instructional videos (ever since FF7: Random Battles Explained ^.^)
Animation was good, you got the sepia tone down nicely and the layout of the slides was true to the original. Simple animations, certainly, but the execution was fine and that counts for quite a lot.
Audio was...mixed. The background music was perfectly chosen and implemented, I wasn't so sure about the voiceover. While the voice acting was fine for what was required, the recording was very rough in a modern way (digital distortion, etc). It was the only thing that broke from the tone, but it wasn't quite a deal-breaker.

All in all, a very nice production. Keep it up!

[Within Frame]

Very pretty

Aesthetically, this is a masterpiece. The unified colour scheme looks awesome on it (I'm a big fan of those for "art" pieces) and the fluidity is lovely.
The audio is great. The piece you chose suits the video so perfectly and adds greatly to the ethereal, magical vibe.
The only issue I really had was the lack of a "play" button. Because of my habit of checking out other stuff while waiting for the buffer to finish, I'm not a fan of an autoplay feature. But given everything else, that's just nit-picking.
This was profoundly great, keep it up.

...and yes, it's always nice to see certain individuals in pointy white hoods get pwnd ^.^

[Gears of Awesome]

This series just doesn't have a bad entry...

The art was absolutely brilliant. For some reason people gave out about Egoraptor's animation in Metal Gear Awesome (like looking good was even the point!) but no-one can give out about how this looks. Part of me thinks that scene on the train was just to answer the critics, the illustration is great.
Audio was great, brilliant voiceovers and nice sound effects.
Script = hilarious. "Where's my wife???"
A little short and sweet, but then so is GOW, so that just netted you extra parody points ^.^
