Hemlok's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Angry Dog]

Pretty funny.

I haven't laughed so hard watching a flash in awhile. The graphics were great! I loved the style of your characters and the variety of characters you had. The backgrounds in this movie were outstanding! They were so detailed it was shocking. Nice style to this flash. It kinda felt like I was watching a more explicit episode of Seinfeld with more characters. I gave you a ten for sound because of the voice acting. Out of all of those characters everyone of those voices were perfect! Did you do all of the voices? If you did that would be really impressive. I gave you a four for violence because they wasn't a lot of it. When the main character jumped on that bear at the dinner table I would have liked to see some blood splatter on the wall or something. Or when the big bear ate that fish (who was my favorite character) it would have been nice to see some blood come out of him. Really funny! I laughed from beginning to end. The funniest par was at the end when the main character said "What the fuck are you looking at?" and just attacked that bear and right after the big bear ate that fish! That was hilarious but I felt bad for that fish! I'm suprised this flash only got weekly 5th place. I would have liked to see it get a better score. Good job makeing this flash I had a lot of fun watching it! I hope you make more episodes of this and eventually turn this into a series.

[Strawberry Goes Camping]

By far the best Clock movie yet!

I need to say that this is the only clock movie that I really enjoyed and had a lot of fun watching it. This is a great flash and you should be very proud of yourself. Now on to the review. The beginning was great! The music fit perfectly into it. The graphics were just like any other Clock movie but they were still great and very detailed. I loved the clocks walking by when Strawberry clock was driving his car outside. The creepy man with his eyes bulged and mouth wide open made me laugh and the Kermit the Frog Pube just topped it off. I loved to see all of those clocks walking by it was just great! Great style to this flash, this Clock movie actually had a point! The sound was just like all of the Clock movies but I like the voices anyway! The music that played through this flash was great! From the introduction to when one of the Clocks wanted to start a fire. Great AC/DC music with "Highway to Hell" as well. Not a lot of violence but this flash didn't really need any with all the humor going on. This is one of the funniest flash movies ever! I was laughing the whole time! It was just flat out hilarious! I was laughing from beginning to end. The best Clock movie on Newgrounds deserves a big fat ten! This flash is going in my favorites! Great job makeing this flash and I hope to see a lot more hilarious flashes from you!

[The Little Jamurai II]

Great action.

I loved the action in this flash very creative! The graphics were great! I loved the basic black and white style to it. The characters were in great detail and the surroundings were great as well. I also thought the weapons were amazing and looked very life like. I gave you ten for style because of the black and white colors. It fit very well in the story. What I also thought was very stylish was the blood spray when the samurai's got killed. It was very creative; I've never seen anyone use blood like that before great job! As far as sound goes I thought you had great voice acting. All of the characters voices fit perfectly. Although the gang leaders voice was a bit hard to understand. I have you a 9 for violence only because there wasn't a lot of it. You only had about a minute of action but it was amazing! I would have definately given you a ten for violence if you had more fighting going on. I gave you five for humor because I found it funny how people talked and how the wimpy samurai ran away. Once the movie was over and the credits were on the screen, I found how you showed clips of the flash during the credits was very professional how you did that. It was still black and white and ran very smoothly. Great job makeing this flash I enjoyed watching it very much! The only thing I can think of improveing is have a lot more action in your next flashes! Amazing flash you got here keep up the good work!

dreadslick responds:

Thanks for the well thought out criticism and praise. We're trying to bring a more cinematic feel to to our toons from now on. I hope we're acheiving it for you.

[Engineered]

Amazing!

I loved this flash! You guys should be very proud of your work! As far as the graphics go I found that the characters were very unique and I feel safe to say they were flawless, but the surroundings and backgrounds looked like they could use more work. I felt this flash had a great style to it. A nice story, even though it was confusing and hard to understand at times I still liked it. Since these are my types of stories I felt right at home! I didn't enjoy watching that robot killing the babaies that the father didn't want. I wish you made him store them somewere they could have been comfortable but I shouldn't be complaining, it's your flash. For the sound I understood how the father had a language that I didn't understand. I just wish you put sub-titles so I could understand what he was saying. I gave you a five for violence only because of the deaths of the babies. I should give you lower then that but I'm such a softy for babies. I gave you a one for humor because of the father when he gave his wife the thumbs up. I found that amusing. Even though I wished you did a lot of things differently I still think you guys have made a wonderful flash and I enjoyed it very much. Keep up the good work and I hope to see a lot more flashes from you guys!

[Blockhead: Episode 1]

I liked it.

This is a nice flash you've got here. The graphics were pretty good and had a creative style to it. The voices were great! One of the best voice acting flashes I've seen, did you do both of the voices? The characters were both very funny. You have Blockhead who is just a complete moron. Whats funnier then that? I liked the other character and how he is just like Carl from Aqua Teen Hunger Force. Things that I wished you could have done was actually have had a story going together with this. Blockhead is just trying to dial a phone number. It was funny but it could have been a lot funnier. The other thing I wish you had done was of course make it a lot longer. This flash was way to short to put a lot into it. I'm hopeing this is just an intro to an awesome series because this can definately be one. I know you have been around for a long time as a flash maker and I have heard of your work but this is sadly the first time I have seen one of your flashes. Now that I have seen one I know why you were King of the Portal in March! I'm looking forward to seeing all of your flashes and maybe putting another review in who knows? Great job on this flash it was very impressive! Keep up the good work and make your flashes longer!

The-Swain responds:

Both of the voices and all of the voices, yes, for every episode except the Time Squads. Every regular episode voice is me, but I don't let any other character sound like BH or the Con.

Anyway, I hope you like the rest of the series! So long as you remember that I had no idea I would be making as many episodes as I have when I sat down to do Ep.1, you'll understand why it didn't come out like the later episodes did.

[coffee break]

Man I love these flashes.

Horror has become my favorite type of flash (thanks to Salad Fingers) and this just makes horror a greater genre in my list. You graphcs were good and were very unique. I love how you drew these characters especially how their mouths were placed at the of their faces. You style was good as well but I did refer to Salad Fingers a lot in this because of the flashbacks and the complete randomness in this flash. Even though you don't know what the hell is going on and you don't know anything thats happening but you still love it! Thats when you know someone has made a good flash. As far as sound goes I liked it. The voice acting was great especially that woman on the floor just whispering help. Its funny how one word repeated a coupe of times can send a chill down someones spine. Violence was great and very detailed looking at the slit in the back f the womans head revealing a portion of her brain. Also when the robber shot that woman and the blood slid down the car door was very well done. The ending was very random and creepy just like Doki does in the endings of all his Salad Fingers. Now I know I keep refering to Salad Fingers a lot, but thats only because I love your flash and me refering to Salad Fingers is a huge compliment. Anyway great flash! This is going down in my list of favorite flashes! Keep up the good work.

[Pico vs. Convict]

Amazing!

This is definately the best Pico flash this year! You should be very proud of your work! I just wish you made that a lot longer then it was. The graphics were extremely well done! I love how all the characters moved smoothly. The backgrounds were awesome. From the doodles on the chalkboard to the purple sky, they were all amazing and very detailed. You had a great style to this flash; very creative! The music fit perfectly in this flash I loved it! I just wish there was some dialogue in this flash. The violence was very brutal and bloody! It was a thrill to watch the girl and the villain duke it out. By the way that villain was awesome! I liked those easter eggs that you had in this like the picture of Tom in Pico's locker. The ending of this flash was rather predictable but I still found it amusing. I hope you come out with the sequel soon because I just can't wait! The only things I want you to change in the next one is just to have some dialogue and make it a lot longer. Great job making this flash it was great! Keep up this amazing work that you do!
Hope you had a happy Pico Day!

[the PICO DAY anthem]

Great song!

This was a great flash! The graphics were great, they fit very well into the song. You should have more backgrounds then just the plain white one though. You had a great style with your music and your lyrics. I like how you used your own music thats why I gave you most of the style points. The song was great and very catchy. I love how the song was humorous as well. I'm suprised how this flash only got daily fourth place. Knowing how there were so monay great Pico flashes for Pico day I still think you deserved at least daily second place. You did a great job on this flash keep up the great work.
Hope you had a happy Pico day!

[bird day]

Well it was good animation

It wasn't that bad at all just a little tedious. You had a good concept but it was to long, you should have made the bird knock him off earlier or have the bird that was pesting him go faster. I liked your animation it was unique and the music was good for this flash but you should have made it a little louder. Nice backgrounds as well. I hope you dn't take my advice to seriously but might want to put them into consideration for your next flash. You did a nice job making this though, better then I can do!
3/5 wish I could give you higher but I think thats what you deserve.

[Salad Fingers Episode 7]

Welcome back Doki!

You do not know how long I've been waiting for this. All of your flashes are genius and extremely creepy! I'm also glad that I found this one to be quite longer than all your other ones. I love the graphics of the zombie amazing! The voice of salad fingers is great! I think he had some remodeling in his house after the 6th one am I right? Although I loved this flash I found it lacking compared to the other Salad Fingers, it wasn't as creepy and spine chilling as the others all though it was great! This one was wierd and to be honest with you, I didn't really understand it and its concept. The ending was as wierd as can be! I thought the person playing the piano would be the zombie but Salad Fingers just walks off the stage, why was she imagining this in the first place? Also when he counted the yards from were his house and were the tree was didn't make sense to me either, well I guess thats how a great mind works. Awesome job Doki your one of my favorite flash artists and I can't wait for the next one! Make the next one come out sooner! You'll get front page for sure!
