Californiasbetter's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Castlemania]

A diamond in the rough

Ok my honest opinion is I loved it! I thought the heartfelt scene between Shadow and Creme was downright hilarious. Try using a piece of paper in front of the microphone when you record. It may or may not help with the scratchiness.

Also, the mouth movements were noticeably off quite a bit but I'm sure with some tweakage it could work.

I think the jokes worked very well. You have VERY good timing. I think others are so distracted by the little things that it makes the humor seem off but I loved it and trust me, I have no tolerance for lame jokes. Just keep working at this stuff! I'm sure you'll put out some great submissions in the future.

Uhh...I think you got the wrong movie..lol

[Bubble Tea]

Way TO Go!

At first when I watched the opening I thought "suckage" but then I actually watched the whole submission and I gotta say I loved it! I totally got the randomness factor because it was like just that "hanging around with a bunch of my buddies kinda feel" and not everyone can pull that off.

I suppose it's because the characters aren't intentionally playing to an audience. They're being themselves but their lives are just funny...unlike the chars from a few other series' that will not be unnamed.

In my opinion, Waterman blows and this type of humor is way more original. Family guy is cool though cause it's not a rip of itself...

And the other guy is right about bubble tea being boba tea but I wouldn't know about americans changing the name to bubble tea cause I sure see it hanging in a lot of asian quick tea shops but oh wells. I'm not here to start a fight about it. But I don't feel the previous comment is entirely accurate.

Again your submission rox. I hope you can keep up this kind of humor.

Victor-Orozco responds:

Let me just start off saying...THANKS FOR BEING OPEN-MINDED! Haha, Waterman is a great series actually. I like it. But thats your opinion, and I respect that! Family guy is awesome. One of my favorite tv toons. The name of the drink is Boba Tea but theres a place 3 blocks from my house thats called "Bubble Tea" (surprise surprise) and they give out those type of drinks. Once again, thanks for watching and for the awesome review!

It's simply amazing!...

That you're a clock and yet I have to tell you it's time to stop animating. Ok ok that was harsh becwause this submission was funny for about 1.2 minutes before I lost interest. The bathtub scene was very poorly done as far as synching voice to mouth movements but we all know it was put there for shock value so I can't totally complain there. I'm sure you've been personally involved in that experience several times before. I also believe that the main reason this piece did so well is due to the fact that most other clocks voted it up and yeah I would accept the possibility of 184 clocks polluting Newgrounds on a daily basis because they seem to be spawning at an exponential rate lately. If you're going to have a clique, set up a quality control system fellas otherwise you just look like a frat without the "cool", kind of like a chess club :p

SCClock responds:

Ok fuck face. You don't understand anything about the clock crew.
1. We don't have some secret club where we ask other clocks to vote movies high, I have voted 1 or 2 for some crappy clock movies.
Also I didn't get the bath scene from a personal experience but someone I use to be friends with did it....pretty sick huh. Thanks for your lecture.
