ShawnDavidStruck's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[There She Is!! final step]

Amazing!

An excellent ending to the series. I loved how Nabi decided instead of flying to paradise, he was going to stay with Doki at HOME and try and make a better world where they lived. Excellent choice of both opening and main animation music, brilliant action sequences and a heartwarming ending. I am glad we got to share the journey with you, though I am a little sad that our time with Doki, Nabi and everyone has come to a close.

Also, this episode shows that Hana is the COOLEST, most badass characterin the series.

[The iPhone Shuffle]

The voice acting sold it for me.

The graphics were alright, but the excellent voice acting really put this commercial parody over the top for me. Great work!

[Nobadon & The Little Girl]

You had me hooked...

..until the stupid, gratitous use of the word "fag", which injected an ugly, sour note into what was a delightfully absurd romp.

[Metal Gear Crisis 1.1]

A solid effort...

... great use of authentic sound effects, site gags, and series meta-humor.

One glaring problem that really interefered with my enjoyment of the short, however, was the horrific grammar. If it was just once or twice, I could let it slide-- we all make mistakes.

But to make the same basic grade level mistakes, over and over was just grating to watch.

[FF: Warfare 7]

A solid six, mostly for the effort...

But how in the word could you spend so much time on the movie and then not take care of a simple, repeted mistake?

YOU ARE = YOU'RE

YOUR = POSSESIVE FORM OF "YOU"

[The Ring: Clock Style]

Impressive humor...

...the comedic timing was spot on, with enough jokes relating to the ring, as well as meta-clock humor and some good straight gags.

My favorite is FUClock's reaction in Day Four (I think) when Orange Clock asks "Aren't you supposed to be saving our lives?".

I also like the fact that you made the effort to make the text-to-speech program prnounce words properly, like n00b being prnounced "newb" and not "en-zero-zero-bee".

FUClock responds:

Thank you for your review. That's one of my favorite parts too.

[Final Fanstasy...Kinda]

Bland.

While you freely admit you were too lazy to animate the characters, could it have killed you to add some sort of indicator as to who was talking?

Also:

YOUR = POSSESIVE FORM OF YOU.
Example: Your text was riddled with the same spelling mistakes, over and over.

YOU'RE = CONTRATION OF A FORM OF THE VERB "TO BE", YOU ARE
Example: You're going to want to have someone check your spelling next time.

WHERE = LOCATION
Example: Where was your English teacher back in the second grade?

WERE = PAST FORM OF "WAS", USED WITH "THEY"
Example: Tifa and Cloud were upset; so naturally, they used several dozen exclamation points in text.

WE'RE = CONTRACTION OF "WE ARE"
Example: Said the collective users of NG, "So help us, but if we see one more repeated mess up of simple, remedial level English, we are going to come and beat you with a burlap bag filled with live, wet, yowling feral housecats!"

Here's some help for next time:

Okay, you have a little to much time on you're hands....

[Inside the Studio]

Excellent work, Bio!

I'll admit, I didn't have the whole picture when I did my voice work (I'm Tom Fulp, if j00 were wondering), but this is truly impressive. Plenty of in-jokes related not only to Hitchcock, but Newgrounds and the Clock Crew, too!

Keep up the good work, Bio! ^_^

[A Look: Metal Gear]

Solidly middle of the road.

I got a chuckle or two out of it. It was certainly a nice change of pace to see some interactivity in a flash movie besides "click here to play movie".

I really think you could cut down on the filesize by compressing that "Theme From Happy Days" wav at the end, or even eliminate it altogether.
