Scel's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[SS - The Flower of Life]

Holy shit.

This was great. The first comparison that jumps to mind is Extra Credits on The Escapist. This, though, discusses spirituality rather than games, and uses what more detailed pictures to get its point across. In short, it's a good video.

Going a step further, I love that you are choosing to examine metaphysics, physics, philosophy, spirituality, and reason all in the same place. It's a great premise for a series and I am fascinated.

There's not a whole lot to say after that which remains in the parameters of a "review", so I'll leave it on this note: Don't be concerned by those that choose to mock and ignore you. What you're doing is great, whether it's based on science or psuedoscience. Please do continue. I'd love to learn more. =)

[Madness: Activation]

Honestly..

I haven't liked probably the last 3 or 4 Madness episodes from Krinkles.
This, however, was good. VERY good. Not just kind of good, but overall just a fantastic take on the series. I'd like to see more of these. Please, by all means, make more.

[The Hair]

...?

I gave this a chance hoping it would be a bit longer and perhaps a bit funnier. It wasn't. It was too short, the animation was rushed, the pun was only mildly amusing, and the whole ordeal, small as it was, is forgettable.

Please take a little more time to really churn out something worth watching- especially considering this made front page for no apparent reason.

[Animating Boxes at 3am]

And they all look just the same...

I've always sort of heard the song this way- even when it sounded so happy and cute when Pete Seeger did it. When I tried to explain this view to people, they gave me funny looks and remained clueless. Now they get it. This clicks for them. Plus I didn't know the Decemberists did a version of this. It's horrific. I love it.

Focusing on your flash.. it's very basic until the end, when it gets so crisp and vicious my blood goes a little cold. It isn't a perfect animation, but it's got a fantastic sentiment and suits the song well. Great job. 5/5.

[Mulan Kinetic Typography]

Not too shabby at all

My only complaint is that I would have gone about this differently. But sadly I lack the supplies or software to make kinetic typography.. =(

You could always download the free 30-day trials of Adobe Software!

[Pokemon Orange]

I hope your dick is devoured by spiders.

This was awful and you should be ashamed to tarnish the name "Pokemon" with this tripe.

[Dot Dot Dot - Animated]

Absolutely fantastic.

I've always been a fan of kinetic typography, and this does not disappoint. Please do make more in the future!

[Tron: Lolgacy]

Did not see that coming.

Humorous and unexpected- though intensely immature. I'll give it a 9/10 and a 5/5- mostly for the fact I did not expect that...

[The Last Man on Earth]

Ignore the fuckwits

People will question this, badger it, abuse it, and just generally shit on this. But I appreciate and prefer this message over many of the noisy witless creations that people vomit onto the net. This has a very strong message that is often forgotten this time of year. The point is not the computer's mystery power source, nor the obscure tendencies of the English language, nor even the simplicity of the animation. The point is the fucking message and the fact that the only way this generation will listen is if it's shoved in our faces via a cartoon.

Thank you for making this animation, and thanks to TomaMoto for working with you. This was a pleasure to view and it gets full a 10/10 and 5/5 for having such a potent commentary to make.

[Dance of the Manwhore]

Huh

Really not sure what to make of this. It just sort of comes up, dick slaps me, and glares.
Much like its star, I guess.
So... I suppose I will give a 10/10 and a 5/5, just because I am totally entertained and utterly confused.
