jonthomson's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Magic Animal Babies]

Funny, bizarre spin-off

It's definitely not in the same vein as the RAB series, but it's still damn funny and slightly surreal in many ways. Well worth a home bar I say! Even if you don't like the RAB series, you'll probably enjoy this little diversion. I love it!

[Pistol]

Poor basic stuff

The animation of the gun firing wasn't bad at all - it's a shame that's all the movie is, with a CS sound effect thrown in as well. It repeats forever and is boring as hell. Not a movie I can recommend.

[Weed - Harmless? P2]

Best of the bunch

Better than the first episode, and probably edging out 2 1/2 as well, this pokes fun at dumb commercials in a rather funny way. The same usual, basic idea, great as usual, with decent music too. Over the top comic violence is always good for the ratings!

[Weed - Harmless? P1]

Simple funny formula

It's basic, but it works to some degree. Enjoyable, even if the cop knocking after he's knocked down the door was somewhat predictable. Personally I think 2 and a half was better, but it's still worth a look.

[Weed - Harmless? P2½]

Pretty decent comedy

Has a kind of deadpan humour style that I like - on the short side but funny throughout which is all that really matters. Good graphics, and nice comic violence. The stream it button didn't seem to work though.

[Forehead Shavecut]

The best in random insanity

The author comments are very accurate. This does make no sense whatsoever. And that's what is so funny about this. A fine collection of loosely connected comic scenes, coming at you so quickly you can't prepare yourself for the next crazy moment. Don't watch this expecting a work of art, watch expecting some fucked up shit. You'll all appreciate this more.

OK NG "parody"

Probably before all of the other movies that make fun of the amount of pop-ups, so there's some originality credit, but apart from that the movie wasn't that good at all. Graphics were shrunk and awkward to see, no sound that I could notice and it's not that funny. At least it gives you a chance to see the old NG design.

[Karma Ghost]

Great classic submission

What could be described as a "golden oldie" - a classic submission from a couple of years ago that still looks good today. Great concept, nice little beat in the background and I loved the drawing style, looked classy yet effortless at the same time. Fits a lot into the 3/4 of a meg, deceptively long yet never disinteresting. Good storyline and a nice end to the movie.

[The Void I]

Super clock action

Acting as somewhat of a precursor to the following episode, The Void is one of the best clock movies I've seen. Has atmosphere created by the great sounds and cool graphical effects, broken by Strawberry's deadpan Bing. More than worth a look whether you love or hate the clocks.
