TheBlackGhost's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Pico 09]

Awesome

My favorite movie of Pico Day. Smooth animation, great vocal work, and hilarious script. Question though: What is the name of that piano piece played during the beginning? Thanks.

[Lethal Injection]

Pretty good

I don't believe it was on the death penalty as some have previously said. I believe it was more on the nature of humans, particulary the horror and pain we inflict on each other. The man was a test subject, while the testers were part of an organization most likely working for the government, who were employed to develop a new effective killing vessel. Anti-war, anti-human mistreatment, that's my take on it. If you don't mind feel free to correct me, I took it for pretty face value, I didn't really detect any other underlying themes.

What was the name of the classical piano piece that was being played during the "dialogue" prodominatly?

notorious responds:

doesn't matter how you took it as long as you enjoyed it that's good. And yeah you have the plot element you described there basically completely right.

The song was 'Moonlight Sonata' by Beethoven

[Pallid Fingers 2]

I can't help it

I have to put you in my favorites. I've long been a fan of your work, ever since Trix Breakfast pt. 1. But really, it's your humor that is amazing, each of your flashes makes me laugh. I think I've reveiwed all of your movies, and I thought about adding you, but after this I can't help it.

The art was great. It was simplistic like the first Pallid Fingers, but it's improved even more, I like the color better then just the lines like the first one. The sound is clear, and nice use of music. It's the humor that really seperates it from the rest though. I watch this movie usually once every couple of days, I like it that much.

Keep up the good work brother.

rtil responds:

honored to be on your favorites list, sir and i'm happy to know you have constantly enjoyed my works and humor.
not many people comment on the art, glad you mentioned that. hope you can continue enjoying this for a long time, thanks for the review and encouragement.

[WadeFulp: Internet Badass]

Not Bad

It was good to see some recognition to City of God, one of my favorite movies and underappreciated. Everything else in the movie was pretty decent, graphics were fairly moderate but better then most, and the humor was good, good job.

f0d responds:

i loved city of god

wasn't exactly underrated... it won the best foreign film oscar

anyways, yeah its a violent film. but the techniques in it and the cinematography are fucking amazing. i like movies!

[Pallid Fingers]

Extremely Funny

I've long been a fan of this, but I'm taking the time to review it now. This is one of my favorite flashes on Newgrounds. The humor here is unfathomable, I laugh everytime I watch it, and I've gotten to the point where I can almost quote the entire movie. The graphics arn't exactly the best, but the simplistic style you took here adds to the humor so it's easy to see why you took the approach. Yet again like in all of your work, the sound, music, and dialouge is one of the key points in it, it's this that truly makes the flash. You are very quickly becoming one of my favorite artist, and I'm anticipating your further submissions.

rtil responds:

haha, that's great. it's good to see a review like this, especially when i know the viewer has watched it more than once, t means they actually do enjoy it! i'm making pallid fingers 2, so i hope you look forward to that. :)

[Little Fighter Alpha Ch.3]

Awesome

Very cool, by the way, what scene was that last boss music song from (when bat was fighting John) i remember it, but from what game and scene was it from?

MaxR responds:

It's from Final Fantasy IX, the battle with Kuja.

[What is a flash?]

Twas good

It was well written for one thing. The detail on the lock was pretty good, and some of the pictures you had in the back were pretty funny. My only real complaint about this was that it was way to hard to understand, i mean when i looked at the subtitles i knew what was going on, but if i went to look at the pics in the backround, i couldnt concentrate on what he was saying due to the computerized voice, and i soon found myself lost. It was pretty good though, keep it up.

JujubeLock responds:

yeah, I placed the humorous parts in the places where what he was saying wasn't that important to the argument. So you didn't miss much, sorry about that.
