Ice Cream Man

There are many people out there that are complaining "hey how come no one releases movies anymore?" and "the board is almost dead" and the like. Well this movie was one movie that was actually released during this time period (actually back in January) and for some reason was missed by alot of people. This is sad in its own right considering instead of just whining and such people didn't even bother to watch this three minute treat given to us by Kyle Magocs and quite frankly it deserves more credit than has been given to it.

Now Ice Cream Man is by no means breaking any new ground. Plot-wise it's straighter than an arrow, with a twelve year old who has a personal vendetta against the ice cream man who seems to pass him even though he holds out his money. Scenery construction is also one step up from a Ching film. Animation wise it isn't all that great either except for some neat HMC effects near the end of the movie that's definitely worth a look. Dialogue...well there really isn't aside from the lyrics sung from the song being played throughout the movie. But even all these together make for something a little different. An actual effort.

To set things straight Kyle actually has done what few people have tried to in 3dmm. Ice Cream Man if you don't know already is actually a music video for a song entitled...Ice Cream Man (omfg you did NOT see that coming). The last one I can really think of is Andres' movie of Blink 182's 'What's My Age Again?'. It's actually quite cool to see the music go along with the movie cause it gives the action you are viewing some kind of meaning if you will. I think it worked quite well.

Not expecting much from this movie I was actually quite suprised. Kyle did better than I thought, even though the elements of the movie weren't up to snuff. All in all I see this music videoesque movie as at least an effort in this drought of movie's we've been having.
