Philosophadam's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Snorlax Vs Snorlax]

Haha!

The sound Snorlax made while dancing made my day. I lol'd.

Superb animation, funny content, silly twists on classic Pokémon. In the words of Professor Oak in Pokémon Snap, "Wonderful!"

10/10

[Art of Talking to Girls 1]

Haha!

That was a hilarious twist. You definitely had me going there.

I love how you played upon our stereotypes of the "coffeeshop intellectual" and totally subverted them for comedic effect. Amazingly done!

And "The Unbearable Lightness of Being" is an amazing book, a very fitting choice for an awesome flash. Keep up the great work!

COOPERsPLANET responds:

haha, yeah I read that in high school and it always seemed to stick with me.

[Pokemon Hunter]

Wow!

I believe that is easily the best Pokémon flash on newgrounds. The animation quality is incredibly smooth and fluidic, the combination of frame by frame and tweening is seamless, and the music is very fitting. I love the use of HP meters, which adds a lot to what is already a very stylish flash.

Congratulations, NCH; this is exceptional!

[Castle Repercussions - A]

Stunning!

I was a big fan of the original Castle series, and Castle Repercussions has taken something already amazing into new levels of professionality. The cinematography is amazing--lighting and framing effects are superb. The animation is smooth and all motions flow fluidly.

You've also managed to create moments of suspense in a stick film, which is incredible; at some points, I almost forgot I was watching a flash and not a full-fledged action movie!

Keep up the great work!

[Heroes of the Cold War]

Nice!

Smooth, sleek, professional, fluidic animation coupled with a very appropriate song choice make this flash really successful.

Will the finished game be posted on NG?

[MovieMakers]

Exceptional!

Clever jokes, smooth, detailed animation, and nice visual effects (such as the depth blur effects) make this flash a hit. I laughed at the wacky sense of humor and enjoyed the look and sounds of the movie.

I especially liked the scrolling montage that depicted the shooting of the film (nice inclusion of metacinema: film within film!).

The only constructive criticism I could offer would be to verify spelling (e.g. the spelling of "conveniently" on the movie theater sign). However, everything else was superbly executed, and overall, this was a really entertaining and successful animation. Keep up the great work!

[Sketched - Happy Birthday]

A whole new perspective...

Wow, this video sure puts things in perspective. My birthday was actually yesterday, so the memory of blowing out candles is still fresh in my mind. I feel bad for those poor candles whose lives I took yesterday. But I laughed hard when one candle desperately said to the other: "You're still burning bright!"

This was a great short. The animation was smooth and fluidic, the visual style was appropriate to the content, and the audio was perfect. It reminded me of movies like "Ant" and "A Bug's Life" in the way that it makes us look at human beings from a whole other perspective. We laugh and celebrate at birthday parties, but how monstrous and scary we look from the perspective of are hapless candles!

Keep up the great work!
