Loric's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Beauty is Humanity]

You made my day. I loved it.

This does not need to be reviewed - it needs to be seen.

[kegel: jazz in my ass]

Smooth.

Nice work. Very smooth.
I thought that it was trying a little too hard in places to be funny, but the Jazz in the background made it great. You just got to love this smooth, cool, nice, little tune.
And now for the praises: kegel is great, but without the dog he'd be nothing. The dog makes this outstanding.

A sequel, please? After all, he has two left.

To those who didn't watch it yet: Two what? Watch to find out. :)

[-KKND2 tribute-]

Sugoi!

Now here is a movie worth reviewing.
Although the music is a bit "cheesy", the movie is very good.
The animation is great, it has a good attention to detail. It might have not enough FPS for the people with bows (who shoots bows at metal robots? ;p ), but the way it's done covers for itself. I like the style of your drawing, it's minimalist approach and slight shading is pleasant to the eye.
The best thing about this movie are, perhaps, the sound effects. (Only gave it an 8 due to music) The synchronisation of them, and use, were really smooth.
To Author: I wish you make more of this kind of movie. I suggest creating your own original world, and making the movies longer. If you have the time, that is. ^_^

["Jesus Christ" promo]

Nice.

Pixelated graphics? Ok, that's fair enough. Any movie below 5Mb will be pixelated, but couldn't you just make the video smaller in resolution? Wouldn't that give it better clarity, keeping the quality of the picture an adequate one? Some of the words on the cross were just unreadable, and that's a shame, because I really tried to read them and, perhaps, understand the message (if there is one). I'd like to see the full quality/size video, as I like artistic clips. Please, do provide a link to it, if you have one.
Sound is not very clear. I think it could have been done better, as well. The choice of the song is a good one. At least I liked it.
It's a nice movie over all, it just has flaws, probably due to the file size limitations.

As we are on the subject of religion, I have a question to ask which I am wondering about for a long time: If God is so damn almighty, why doesn't he get rid of Lucifer (The Devil) at the snap of the finger?

Here is another thing I thought about: If you sin, God will send you to Hades; you, then, will experience pain and anguish in a "comfort" of blazing fires for eternity till your soul goes insane...but he loves you.
In effect, that is what the Bible says.

Also, did you know that Lucifer comes from Latin and it, basically, means: Light Bringer, or Bringing light.

Want another one? Ok, here is one more: If The Devil punishes all those people who are Bad (The Sinners), doesn't that make him Good?

All these kind of contradictions and lies within the Holy Bible made me disbelieve this whole fear driven masquerade. Yes, I am an Atheist.

I still liked the movie, though. Please do post the higher quality one somewhere.

Stroberider responds:

I’m glad you are one of the few viewers who actually understood and accepted the fact that any video that is somehow implemented into Flash is going to have a very large file size with low quality. And because NG won’t except anything over 5 MB, the compression is mandatory to make it a smaller file size, while making the true eminence of the animation to diminish greatly. Thank you so much for giving credit on that and not trying to take credit away from that profoundly over-looked fact. And to answer the question about making the resolution smaller, if I made it any smaller, that would defeat the whole purpose because the text would be so unreadable. The text is what made this piece so strong in concept. The only “message” that was in the cross was just the different titles and names of J.C.

Well, unfortunately, I do not have this piece linked to any other site or alternate source, but this guy who goes by the name “ForeverJason” e-mailed me wanting to know if I’d let him post some of my motion graphics animations on 4 different sites…www.theflasharchive.com, www.theflashgames.com, www.youfunny.com and www.2flashgames.com. Of course, he said that he would give me proper credit. So, when I respond back to him to see if he is reasonable about this, then I might post this one on either of those sites.

That makes me happy to know that there are still people who enjoy artistic animations. As far as the sound is concerned, it definitely isn’t as clear as the original version, which included a fully clear audio mp3 file. But, I ran into problems not only with file size, but the music would lose sync with the animation, making it look and sound delayed in timing.

I'll e-mail you what I know about the Christian religion since this isn't really the place to discuss it, nor is there enough bandwidth on Newgrounds for character space to type all of what I need to say. Please do not hesitate to e-mail me if you have any other questions about this topic. God bless!

[the bride of reanimator]

Addictive?

This is a nice little movie. The best thing about it, I thought, was the sound. Although, the choice in music could have been better, to create an eerie atmosphere, it still was done well.
Graphics are really smooth, stylish and serve the purpose very well. Especially the use of colors.
The only thing I didn't like about it was, nope...can't think of any.
Awaiting for the next part...

[Nuts To You : Foamy The Squirrel]

Errr...no.

Now, lets see here. Foamy, he's great. Yup, very much so. All the gags with a cynical view on the world are really funny. BUT! This sucked. What the hell was that all about? All the other films had some realism to it, that's why they were funny. Now this, I'd only recommend to a 14 year olds and lower (no offence). This is the only Foamy movie that is just childish and stupid. The violence in the movies doesn't bother me, it's only that this was done without any funny reason to it. It just wasn't...Foamy. The only movie you've done I really don't like, ever. Sorry, and please don't do anything like that again. I shall be ever grateful.

As for the graphics and sound: I still like 'em.

[Madness Avenger]

Extraordinary intellectual and creative.

This is one of the best movies I've seen on Newsgrounds. It has almost everything. Humor, style, violence. It's fast paced, no pissing around! You can see it was created by a semi-genius. If you don't mind a lot of "Red" and enjoy pure action packed movies then this is the film you MUST see.
I was going to say something about the animation and sound, but really, this is almost impecable.

To Author: I can only say "You have to create a sequel. For the love of God! You Must!"

[For Damon]

Nice

My vote is not going to be a pity one, but that movie deserves a thousand of them. Exactly because it has more depth than most. Nicely done, too.

[goku is the you?]

I need some vodka now.

Although everybody seems to have missed the point of this movie, coz the author said himself that this flash is gonna suck big time, the movie is actualy very bad anyway. The idea was good, I guess, but you could have done much better with it than this pile of excrement which you forced out after three nights of eating beans and cheese in a row. I really am going to have some vodka now, just to boost my mood, in certain hope of forgetting every fram of that movie. Have a nice day.

[INVASION preview]

Nice

Was that a flash? Really? If it goes like that you will overtake Silicon Graphics
