Manfredo's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Take This Pill]

Dark comedy at its best

Surreal, funny, beautifully written and not without a profound insight into the human condition, this work of art is the best pill of all against "melodram patheticism".

Keep them coming !

[Social Network Commercial]

I'm in 2 minds ...

... about this work :

0/10 for the animation, and that's what you'd get from me if it wasn't for the
10/10 for the educational content.

Identity fraud is a real problem these days and fraudsters DO use Facebook.
People shouldn't make their life easier by putting, for instance, their date of birth on the network ... or add their mom as a friend ... when date of birth and mother's maiden name are the 2 most common security questions from your bank !!!
Even with customised security setting like "friends only" you're not safe. Systems can be hacked or suffer glitches like the global profile security resetting on Facebook a couple of years ago.

So well done, your work should remain on NG

[SS - Keys of our Past]

A good insight ...

... into the conclusions drawn by New Age thinking from recent discoveries and new scientific puzzles ... again.
The animation is fluid and entertaining which, I have to admit, makes this exposé pleasurable to watch.
As for the content, well, let's just say it is mind opening ... of course there is always the risk that people take it as Gospel and see answers where there are only questions. But whether viewers make a religion out of it (I certainly won't !)or not is not really your problem ... so well done anyway.

[The Shark Show Thing]

As surreal as it gets ...

I wish cartoons had been like that when I was little : traumatic.
A shark and a red panda in love ... from laughter to tears, this cartoon has taken me through a whole range of emotions in about 40 seconds : that's quite a feat !

(the French for "the end" is "LA fin")

ho !!!

[A MOI (mine)]

Amusing

Isn't it one of the seagulls from Finding Nemo ?

[123]

Informative but too basic

Also, check your sources : GDP is not the overall market value of products but the overall added value. It means that you have to substract imports. This is not negligible in places like Europe and North America where trading balances are negative.
1st grade type info, but still, I like the style.

[The Speech]

Thanks for the tip

I have voted 0/5 on this submission just like all the others of the same kind since I strongly suspected them to be some sort of Family guy rip off products.

Newgrounds is about creating stuff so thank you for uncovering this "scam" for us.

Phantom responds:

I wouldn't call them a rip-off, but it is a pre-made service and as submissions, they are not appropriate, which makes me even sadder to see this has indeed passed.

[My Time - Dream Star]

It's OK

But the subtitles don't make any bit of sense.

[Pop's Lonely Day]

I sympathise

Very good for a clock crew piece. Nice musical choice as well.
Good luck in making more quality flash movies.

[Rise Of The Gunslinger]

Very good tribute ...

to Sergio Leone and all the spaghetti genre.

PS : Where's your credit to Ennio Morricone's music ?

oops ill add that in the description box
