JPistol's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Nut Job (part 2)]

In short: Astounding

This. Was. ART. There's so much I can say about this true masterpiece. The excellent drawings and animation, the masterful achievement of being completely wordless, and of course, the fact that it was about squirrels fighting back against humanity and winning! (I love squirrels, by the way) I loved everything about this and to me, it was flawless. You are amazing at what you do and I am proud to say that your animation beats mine by a long shot.

[Fallen Angel Ep. 1 (Pt3)]

I really wish I could rate it higher

And I mean that from the heart, man. This is the greatest animation I've ever seen. It's so professionally done and it grips you from the first second to the credits. Even though I love this series and I definitely will favorite it, it just sickens me because I know that this is what the world is going to come to if we all don't stop trying to kill and blow up each other and just become a "brotherhood of man". Ah, good sensible John Lennon. He was the only one in the entire world with a true vision for peace and love among all humans. Too bad that'll never happen.

awesome

this movie really knocks me out, meaning it makes me enter an overwhelming state of peace. the song is purely beautiful and i might be the only one in my family who can really connect with the mesmerizing feel to it. but the animation really adds to the song's beauty. the song knocks you out, but the animation keeps you going. thank you for making this. you should make an ipod version of it so i can watch it repeatedly on those long road trips and feel peace the entire time. you are a talented artist, a great composer, and a magnificent storyteller. Kudos.

AKS9 responds:

JPistol thanks so much for your amazing review... reading this stuff is really touching. I can't believe it, it's like this stuff actually means something to people. This had a real-world effect, somewhere out there. I think overwhelming states of peace are very personal and you can't just pass the things that cause them to other people or family members like that...
There is an mp3 you can download of the song here on newgrounds, there's a link to the left of the movie description. The song is only 1:40m so I guess it won't serve you on your road-trips. I can make a custom version for you where after the intro the main song loops for 30 minutes :D
Thanks so much for your words. All the best!

['Explanation']

moves very smoothly

This is a very thought-provoking and nostalgic flash. By thought-provoking, I mean you never are sure where the mug is going to end up next, but wherever it is, once you become absorbed within the tone and style of the video, you know it'll be interesting. By nostalgic, I mean how it's claustrophobic soundtrack and stare-worthy environments almost make you feel a longing sensation. I can't explain it really, except with this: I get that feeling when I look at the poster of the big house on a hill with a garage with 5 really nice cars in it that has the headline, "Justification for higher education" across the top. It's not the slogan that really draws me in, nor is it the nice house or the nice cars. In fact, it's the sunset in the background. The whole, "Justification for higher education" thing is the only part of the picture that really turns me off, but the overall landscape and content in the picture make it my favorite photographic image. That's like this flash. To describe it more thoroughly, it's like an escape cartoon. Everything in this flash is so incredibly fascinating in it's own individual way and I'm glad this submission got front page. I always love flashes with smooth music synced in the background. You definitely have some magnificent talent. Don't stop doing what you do best.

hurhm, that's like the 'heavy' review i was looking for ;) , thanks!!

[Antarctic Antics]

that was cute

i appreciate all the hard work you put into this because it was all great and it made me laugh. nice work, dude.

[I miss you Daddy]

beautiful, just beautiful

That was an excellent film, man. I was tearing up at the beginning and by the end I was sobbing and tears were streaming down my face like a waterfall. I didn't lose anyone in the 9/11 attacks, but my father saw the whole thing from his office. What a dreadful time in this country's history. But again, this was phenomenal. Great job!

[Santa's Last Stop]

hilarious!

That was awesome, man! You were very creative with the insult words Santa said and I love the ending!

[Jitters]

nice, very inventive

i must say i really enjoyed this flash, sir. the beginning was fine for a start, and the middle was delightfully creepy, and it eventually built up to an ending that may be disappointing to the grim and soulless, but as for the rest of us normal human beings with nostalgic memories of fear exhibited by the main character, wrapped up very nicely. my one concern is that it didn't have much to do with christmas, except when you flashed "Merry Christmas" in the ending credits, but that doesn't belittle this fine submission in any way.

Twist responds:

Actually, the reason I had his paranoia brought on by heat was because I wanted the end to be a surprise. The water he gets is a christmas present, you can even see a tree behind him when he gets it.

[Fisherman?]

funny shit

hahah that was a very original storyline and it had an incredibly funny ending as well. i had to watch it twice to get it, tho. i guess i wasnt really paying attention the first time. i guess if i ever want head from a trout, thats what i need to do. once again, funny premise, great animation, and funny ending. it was all phenomenal, dude.

[ACML III: Bliss]

INCREDIBLE

The song was a little too whiny for my taste , but the animation was hands-down the best I've seen on this website. I can't imagine how much backbreaking work went into making this, even with others working on it with you, it's still quite a handful from what I saw. The imagery was hard-hitting and really represented the song and it's feel. I'm not going to give you any pointers because this is much better than anything I could ever do, so I'll just bow to the masters.
