Mikento's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[(old vers)Dead Rain 5]

lovely jovely

I think that movie was bloody fantastic, it definetally deserves to be in the top 50. As for the shakey camera effect, I had it in one of my movies but it was used in moderation and sucked compared to yours, but anyway. The movie was great dude, I hope to see some more.

brilliant

I couldn't help but get a smile on my face at the end when coldplay came on, that was just a brilliant piece of work. I can't wait to see ur next one.

P.S. keep up with that same art style cuz it works really well.

review

Yerma: Yerma has the most to say in the play, this has made it easier than the others to find something in her speech that she uses a lot. Yerma always sounds needy, when she speaks to Juan she always brings to subject to how she ‘needs’ a baby “ Every year…just the two of us year after year.” . When she speaks to the Pagan woman she confides in the Pagan woman for advice, she ‘needs‘ her advice “ There‘s something I need to know…something you can tell me.” . When she speaks to Maria she is envious of Maria because she has a baby and Yerma does not, she speaks to Maria of how she ‘needs’ what Maria has, and she wants to know what it feels like “ But what do you feel?” . It’s extremely apparent with Victor when he tells Yerma that he is leaving the village and she obviously doesn’t want him to leave, she wants to know why he’s leaving “ Why are you really going? Everyone round here likes you.” Her unfulfilled need to have her child and her family is subsided every so now and then for her unfulfilled need for true love that she can only have for Victor. She expresses this whenever he is around through her speech. Yerma uses a lot of sayings to interoperate what she is feeling, “Rain loosens stones and makes the mustard grow” she uses the sayings when she seems to be in a desperate situation in a conversation.

Victor: Victor doesn’t actually have much to say and when he does speak he only uses small sentences. This clearly shows that Victor is a man of action rather than talking. He uses the song he sings to express how he wants Yerma to comfort him “Why do you sleep alone, shepherd? Why do you sleep alone?” It is obvious though, that Victor talks differently to Juan than he does to Yerma. Victor speaks to Juan in a very professional manner, there doesn’t seem to be any warmth or friendship between them at all “No, you always paid a fair price” , there does however, seem to be a level of respect for Juan that Victor displays.

Juan: Juan’s speech around Yerma depicts a certain level of aggravation. Because Yerma is always trying to aggravate Juan he seems to be on edge most of the time, his speech quite sharp and coarse. Juan likes the fact that Yerma stays at home, he tries to justify her not going out “The street is for people with nothing to do”. His speech is very commanding because he is used to commanding and ordering Yerma around “Why can’t you just shut up and accept things as they are?” . Juan never sings because he does not crave or desire anything. Another thing Juan does in his speech is play dumb, as though he doesn’t realise what Yerma is talking about when she tries to bring up something about children or a baby, or when she tells him that she loves him and how the house seems so empty. Juan acts like he doesn’t know how much its hurting Yerma that he doesn’t want to have a child, like it’s a blessing on them that they don’t have one “And what’s wrong with that? The Farm’s doing well, and no children costing money”.

Maria: When Maria talks with Yerma its easy to tell that they’re good friends

Pagan Woman: The Pagan woman speaks mainly to Yerma throughout the play. Because Yerma mainly asks questions to The Pagan Woman the pagan woman answers them, this makes the Pagan Woman seem wise and all knowing. The Pagan woman doesn’t want to have to answer all of Yerma’s questions, but she does want Yerma to learn some independence “ You’ve got your pride and I don’t want to meddle with anyone’s pride” . The Pagan Woman is an unconventional woman in the society then. She is very sexual and she does not confide in God or her religion, “ God! Never mind God.” Yerma confides in her because she supplies another solution though. The Pagan woman speaks to Yerma as though she was a young girl, this is because Yerma speaks to The Pagan Woman as though she were a teacher. Someone of great knowledge. “ Oh, what a peach! What a lovely creature you are!” The Pagan Woman’s speech differs when she speaks to The first old woman

[Shitrix trailer]

This should be a blue

While of course the movie wasn't brilliant or anything, the animation blew my socks off, that was some fine ass animation, did you use a graphics tablet. One problem I found was that, when the styles of drawing changed a lot, like when the people were standing still they were reall detailed, and when they were moving they didn't even have faces, but hell it was still damned good.

Promising

I thought that was really cool, the south park art style was done really well and it looked really good. I'll be lookin' out for that.

epilepsy

This movie almost gave me an epileptic fit, and I think I'm now going blind. Ive seen the actual cartoon with this song in, can you believe it was made by DISNEY!!! It was banned, but you can still download it off the internet, along with much much porn ;)

[Floor of Mist and Rain]

deja vu

This flash was quite good I liked it, it reminded me a lot of the flash movie i just made called mystical odysee. It looked quite interesting, I reckon you should make it into a series.
