jthrash's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[ACTION DOODS]

Loved how their action hero quips just got more and more sexual as they went on...

[Deep breathing (Claymation)]

Claymation has always creeped me out because, unlike drawings in 2D animation or CGi renders, claymation creatures are technically real and exist somewhere in this world...

[Dreamcast Collab]

Absolutely Brilliant! I also just like how the Chu Chu Rocket parody might have been the most profane and sexist of all the parodies!

elikapika responds:

I really enjoyed making it! I thought it'd be funny to take this cutesy innocent puzzle game and turn it into this COD lobby sort of thing, since you could play it online back in the day. I hope you enjoyed it too :P

[OP BATTLES COLLAB!!!!!]

Everything about this is stupid, so glad I watched this finally!

[Agent Calc]

I love that Agent Calc's balloon-like blue nose deflates the same time his confidence or ego deflates. I love the character designs. I love the implication of Agent Calc being around the same age as me with the flashback where he was a teenager with a One Piece shirt. I love that the villain reminds me of Spamton G. Spamton. I love how the credits sequence suddenly turned this into a spot-on parody of the intro to the legendary GoldenEye 007 (N64).

In short, I...love this.

[Solar Girl: She's fighting for you!]

Brilliant action sequence!

[Demo Reel 2024]

Incredible! You worked on a lot of the best stuff in the last 5 or so years! And in different art styles and different aspects of the 2D animation pipeline!

[Tired Of Being Alone]

This is basically Casper the Friendly Ghost. Great message about how, for better or worse, being kind to others is its own rewards (we likely won't get acknowledged for our good deeds, like the ghost here), yet we all deserve love and companionship regardless. It's interesting the ghost couldn't get what they wanted after literally bringing an old man back to life, but the ghost finally got some love in return by playing cars with the baby.

SnowyPunk responds:

Thank you! Now that you said it I realise it is basically Casper haha <3

[SONIC DOWNUNDER]

Sonic Downunder? Isn't that just Ty the Tasmanian Tiger? Or Kao the Kangaroo?

This has to be one of my favorite JoelyMoley animations in a while. The animation is so smooth (except when it's not smooth for comedic effect, of course), the sound effects are on-point, and it cracks me up every time I re-watch it on both YouTube and Newgrounds, especially the "She's gonna blow!!" part!

[Intelligent News Network (ft. Tomska)]

Why? Why is this so smoothly animated?? I was expecting this video to make me angry because it's a parody of TV news and I'm becoming increasingly convinced every time my mother turns on the TV that TV news is going to destroy democracy as we know it.

BUT NO. I'm just in awe of how smooth the animation and inbetweens are.
