Coop's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Stalingrad 1942]

Very Black Comedy

Wow, this is a neat way to portray the war in Stalingrad - sort of like Enemy at the Gates, but without Jude Law's awful acting.

I loved this piece, but it was a little too light on the blood and gore - flashing a red circle up on screen doesn't work for me in showing bloodshed. The corpses which fall to the floor look just the same as when they were alive, so maybe do something about that. Making it suitable for teens is alright, but if you add a little more violence, it's still not going to be as nasty as Madness or Bunnykill.

I'm just after a spot of realism, that's all. We don't want the kids thinking that war's great, because it isn't

Sgt-Mac responds:

I agree with you. This actually started with no blood, and with animation already done, adding bullet wounds would've been pain in the ass.
And by the way, Enemy at the Gates is a great movie.

[Jim and Pals Shorts: Ep 2]

Jackass!

Well, that was an amazingly short episode. A bit of homage to Jackass' "rocket skates" stunt they pulled a few years back.

No time to think about what the punchline could be, this is all about the delivery, which was exectued expertly.

Obviously, as you know I prefer to see longer animations which actually build up to the monumental punchline, but this worked just fine.

How long do we have to wait for the next episode?

Jimtopia responds:

Glad you enjoyed it, yeah, the point of this cartoon was to be short and funny, that's about it. My longer cartoons are the ones with storylines and whatnot. Anyway, thanks for reviewing, I should have some bigger stuff coming out soon.

[Sr. Pico]

Sound saves the day

Well, the animation is clearly rushed here. (We've been telling people about Pico Day for months, why were you not ready?!) I like the way you took the menu music from Queers of War, it did almost suit it.

When the bandit and Sr. Pico walk towards each other, half of Pico's face keep dissapearing, so that glitch needs fixing. I couldn't read what you had written after the flash, as it was drawn too badly. Maybe use the typeface instead.

Imacow responds:

Thanks, the bandit was suposed to be the enemy from Pico School (forgot his name). I tried to start on a Pico Day flash 2 months ago but realised how gay it was going to turn out so I deleted it. Then atthe last minute realised I should try and make one. The music is from the game Excitebike on the NES.

Yea I was aware that his face dissapeared I'll fix it in a little while.

[Pico's Time Tank]

Happy Pico Day!

What a (randomly) great piece of flash work this is. I never expected a plot like this for a Pico day flash, or any toher for that matter.

The graphics are excellent, with an amazing fight against Satan, which is a great demopnstration of how cutting edge this production is!

The humor is not to be outdone with "Pico does Pirates of the Carribean" a well worked, horribly gory piece with a lovely killer punchline (literally) at the bitter end.

Of course, the ending has a great twist, which doesn't stop the whole piece being absoultely brilliant. I'm looking forward to more flash from the both of you!

Thanks, Coop, for the review and the appreciation!

[Picoday 2007 Sun Parody]

New twist - old theme

Personally, I hate anything from these shitty little fads, like Sunshine crew, as they are appaling to watch for the most part.

You've found / made a nice piece of audio here, which really gives you the originality part of your work.

For me, the background was too dark - you could have made it yellow / orange, like the NG banner, which would have worked a lot better, but other than that, there isn't really much I'd change.

Seamonky responds:

The audio is awesome, I agree with that. I had to change the song because the sunshine song did get quite repetitive. The background was ok but you got your own opinion so I respect that. Thanks for the review Coop and here's your response! :D

[Roll Along]

Sounds bad... looks alright

You've got the beginnings of a great flash here. Firstly, I couldn't stand the audio. Not because it was a foreign song, but it took me half of the song to work out that it was foreign.

The animation is decent, although it does look ill-conceived and drawn with MS Paint. If you did draw this in flash, you really need to invest in a tablet, zoom in closer and take more time to draw, so you can give us a more detailed picture.

This does have a plot, which is nice, one of the redeeming points of your work. You've come through Star Day and have a decent scoring flash to show for it. Good work.

Ying-yong responds:

i don't see how the fact you couldn't understand it was foreign influenced your score but ok

thanks for the review
