Macaroni-Penguin's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[One Ring to Rule ThemAll3]

Nachos, AC/DC, and Hippy Elf-Chicks! :)

Holy crap - this was a long movie! It doesn't go anywhere, but neither does any episode of Seinfeld and no one's complaining about that. It's brilliant how all these characters just seem to live together in the same space and hang around worrying around their own personal problems. It's all the little touches that make this work like how the Balrog's fire is a "glandular" problem, or how the Nine Kings got high off of the rings. And to top it off, there's even a movie inside the movie. Kudos to you on a brilliant piece of satire on the lives of these classic characters.

[YAAFM 9: Michael Moore]

But he's right.

This cartoon is a little contradicting in it's depiction as Michael Moore as an idiot. Michael Moore was quoting for saying things like how the dumbest Canadian is smarter than the smartest American - and Michael Moore being American puts him in the equation as well. Michael Moore's already admitted to being an idiot with his quote, so sure, he belongs on the show. But, by the show's logic of using this as an argument against him, so does every other American.

I think pretty much every foreigner agrees with Moore, however - Bush isn't doing much to avoid making enemies with every country in the world. When the nukes/holy war/plagues hit US soil, every American is going to head to Canada where - guess what - Canada's only enemy happens to be the US. When it comes to "freedom" and "friendship," the US government really needs to start getting it's priorities straight because right now, they're just painting a big red target on their country.

[Grand Theft Boner]

EIGHTIES MUSIC!!!

This has gotta have the best soundtrack ever. You just sit there, listen to eighties music, and watch GTA screensavers pretty much. Nice work on the motorcycle chase, man.

[AHTM3 Trailer: Kill Billy]

This is too awesome.

Please ignore the previous reviewer who thinks "unloved" means you get to be on the top 50. This is the funniest cartoon I've seen in a while - and even better is the fact that you clearly have excellent Flash skills, judging from your fully animated characters, but still resort to slapping crap together. But it works. Much like Tarantino himself, you put together the best shows with the smallest budgets. And the poor image quality even helps enhance the overall experience. Just keep doing what you're doing and don't let any retard who engraved any cliche of "what's good" into their brain with a wood-burning kit tell you how to run your business.

Looking forward to the new movie!

[***MICHAELJFOXISONFIRE***]

A cinematic masterpiece of epic proportions.

It's rare to ever find any sequel that stands up to the greatness of the original. But you've proven many wrong by once again placing "Turd of the Week" with the same idea as the ones that got you "Turd of the Week" before.

What's the real joke behind this? Is it because Michael J. Fox is on fire? Is it because the creator is proud to have placed "Turd of the Week?" Is it because we keep voting these "Turd of the Week?" No one really knows.

All that's confirmed is this. All is silent. We're given a couple warning screens. Then we see Michael J. Fox. Then something happens. And then HE'S IN HELL!!!! The end. This subtle storytelling brings internet film to a whole new level through it's awesome power of symbolism and metaphors.

This belongs right up there - right between "The Godfather" and "The Shawshank Redemption." The performances, the cinematography, the lights, the music, the sound, and especially the greatest performance in Michael J.'s career - right next to "The Frighteners."

Could've used a scream, though. Good work, anyway!

[DJ Caluibur]

Dude

You should have thrown in more rnadom crap, man. Otherwise, this is the best cartoon I've seen all day. I particulary enjoyed the rainbow-colored pants and the fact that Cody was nowhere to be seen at the bottom of the school after be thrown off.

[(2003)Jacob II]

Well, here's another 20-year old...

I only discovered your material no more than a few days ago and you're already on my favorite artist list. I'm glad I came into the Portal when I did - I got to see the new cartoon fresh from the oven! You have a great style, Knox - you have a taste for intense violence, yet at the same time, NEVER resort to perverted jokes or profanity to carry on the humor. Keep up the great work - I'm eagerly awaiting the next Matrix.

Note on the Matrix: I noticed you probably have the only Matrix parodies on Newgrounds that don't involve anything action-related. Nice work on the originality! Hope you start on Reloaded someday!

Knox responds:

yeah im trying to make newgrounds history of making a full matrix parody series without using ONE FIGHT SCENE! =)

[Potter Puppet Pals!]

You are my personal hero.

Seriously. If you knew you personally, I would be your best friend forever and ever and be in your face every day. If we ever happen meeting upon the street, I will personally buy you a taco or something. Seriously.

Trapezoid responds:

Please mail me the taco.
