Aliyen's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Where do clams come from]

I expected more.

There was a great style, nice visuals, and the music and sound effects were also a nice touch, but I expected there to be a better story to add to all that. The characters and "story" all felt too unoriginal and could have been executed way better to go along with such a nice style. I found the characters to be annoying, mostly. Maybe if you added in some voice acting? There are cartoons where no voice acting at all could work, but this just isn't one of them.

[My Childhood Pet]

Hah.

Funny. Feels like every-day sort of humor, with some fantasy mixed in. I liked the black guy's voice and how dull it sounded.

[Star Wars Transitions]

Hah, alright short film.

I just came back from seeing the new "Star Wars" film and I especially found this short very funny, since I felt the same way when I kept seeing those transitions! They are a bit defining, though, and are good for moving from one location to another, but Lucas definitely has a fetish for them, yeah.

Cartoon itself was alright. I didn't understand the purpose of the whole "Star Wars" intro parody, though. As short as the cartoon was, you could have just started from the actual cartoon itself. The ending was funny, when it showed all the different kinds of transitions. What could have made the cartoon better, though, is it if actually showed the transitions on screen while Lucas was pressing them. Overall good job.

JeremyLokken responds:

Thanks for the review! The intro is a tad bit long, considering how short it is. I do have a revised version with a wipe in it, but it's not up yet. Good points!

[Sonic: Bad Bubbles (VGDC)]

Hahaha.

Good stuff. Glad that you stopped doing those Sobe shorts. Didn't see the ending coming, either, making it funnier! Sprite work and animation is good and always. Keep up this kind of stuff!

[(2005) Hotdog Job: Part 1]

I'm surprised you're still not tired of these.

These became so boring about a year and a half ago. I'm so tired of these blue pieces of shit displaying the same exact words in every single cartoon, with you using something in your house for the backgrounds. How about a backyard or something? I'm so tired of just seeing them always being in your house and not going anywhere else.

Only funny part was the long "shhhh..." Everything else is basically the same stuff as your older cartoons. You really should try out something fresher. And get someone else to do a voice for once.

Knox responds:

You wanna see them go outside? Buy "klay world: off the table" when its out :P

The movie is about a group of them leaving the house to explore the real world...SHAMELESS SELF PROMOTION ROCK!

[MC Hawking: Music Video]

Good stuff.

I heard MC Hawking's "E = MC Hawking"song back in 2002 and thought it was great. Didn't think the guy would still have a following, but he does, apparently. The song was very good and funny and I like that this music video follows a certain comical storyline, too.

At first, I thought that it was stupid how the fundamentalists were made too subtle and didn't really have an exact religion to spread, but then I noticed that it was a good idea, since Hawking's logic and science go against any religion in general, not just one. Makes it all fair for everybody!

Overall a good music video.

[Xtreme Rock Paper Scissor]

Alright... Good for a short watch.

Not very entertaining, but still fun for a watch, since it was short and all. I think that it was a funny idea, but it could have been executed a lot better. (Especially the ending, since the soda spraying his eye went by WAY too quickly.)

Only complaints I have is that the graphics could have been a bit better. I don't really care about good graphics in cartoons, but I don't like stick figures either, or just plain white backgrounds. Also, I'd like some voice acting, but plain text can be okay sometimes.

Also, I thought that the author's comments were amusing. You get points for that.

So nice job.

[Las aventuras de Mr.Coo]

Pointless, but had nice animation.

Didn't really enjoy this. It only kept me up because of the nice animation, which I don't use as an excuse for poor ideas anyway. Felt like I saw it before, just like with a lot of the stuff on the portal. It was kind of amusing when the objects kept transforming, but other than that, just mostly boring. Nice job anyway.

[Zelda: Lean Link (VGDC)]

Alright for a short VGDC cartoon.

Recently, I've lost all interest in your shorter cartoons. Only your very early ones were the only good short ones, really. I'm not really asking for more epics like the "Rise of the Mushroom Kingdom" series, but I want at least something more full-filling like the "Mack Daddy Mario"series. This was alright, I guess. Better than that "Kid Icarus" shit.

Also, why the hell did you put an "extended" edition on your site, but not on Newgrounds? What's the point of even PUTTING it on Newgrounds if you know that people are just going to view the one on your site? Stop submitting your fucking cartoons if you're going to do that shit. Just put "more goodies" on both the Newgrounds and VGDC versions. Enough throwing any excuse around to whore out your fucking site that everybody who goes to Newgrounds already visits. Grow the fuck up already.
