SubNoctem's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Blue]

Not Bad

An interesting look into a man's experience with shrooms, and I must say, I really liked it. The twitching, the quick flashes of pain/background change, the random changes in environment and time. Very good animation and art style as well. The only thing I could find wrong was the sound would screw up sometimes, but maybe you meant it to be like that. Either way, fantastic work.

Mek1985 responds:

Ha, thanks. Yeah the sound was awfully distorted at some parts but it seemed to add to the story.

[Fairy Sorrow]

Beautiful

Supreme art style and animation really pushed this flash to the level I love to see. Fluent, detailed, and polished. A wonderful music selection from some of my favorite artists also added a special touch for me. I always take note on how people say things like, "fantasy is stupid, why don't they just pull out a gun and blow them away," or something along those lines. And here, finally, is the perfect answer displayed in a beautiful flash film. Wonderful work, Volo, I'll be checking out your previous works and those to come.

[Star Wars Gangsta Rap: SE]

Hilarious Parody

First I would like to say, amazing work on this flash. Fantastic graphics, animation, and surprisingly enough, the song. You've definatly got psuedo-rappin' talent. The movie was very well polished, a perfect hybrid of the "gansta-rap" and Star Wars worlds. But as for your comment; shut the hell up. Yeah it sucks that idiots don't vote on the movie for what it is, but no one is ever going to change that. And it seems that enough people have seen this movie for what it is, seeing as how you're second place in all of Newgrounds. That's quite a feat and I congradulate you. Hilarious flash, can't wait for the full version.

[Spy Vs Spy Ep.2]

Perfect Spy vs. Spy Style

You've truly captured what Spy vs. Spy is all about. Fast-pace, short, and humorous run-ins of the two enemies. Great choice of event with the Three Little Pigs, I could really see this being actual episode if the graphics and style were a bit different. But then I guess it wouldn't be yours. Well, I'm not complaining about it, great work.

Jszostak responds:

thanks! means alot

[The Linda Show : Atkins]

Another Sam T Classic

I especially loved this one. The average christian home with a lady that's obsessed with some of the most ridiculous things our world is dumb enough to accept, i.e. Bush, Atkin's Diet, and reality tv. You have the magnificent ability to show it-even more-humorously through great flash work. Your range of voices continues to impress, as well as all your animation and art, and I hope your flow of creative flash work never ends. Great work.

[Psycho Bunny]

Wonderful Work

Psycho Bunny has become one of my favorite NG characters as of now. This seemingly harmless bunny just wants to be left alone, to get rid of his nightmares and have a moment of peace. And even after he disposes of his terrorizers, he still cannot find it, and is just as traumitized as he was while they were alive; I loved it. Beautiful story, artwork, and though not my favorite music, it fit extremely well with the film. An all-around great movie and I'll be looking forward to more of your work.

[beyond comprehension]

Absolutly Beautiful

Your movie has displayed my own continuous, neverending thoughts. As I watched it, I felt as if you had delved into my mind to express what I could not. Showing infinity, the greatest, and at times, the worst thing ever sought to comprehend. The vast amount that we do not know is overwhelming, and dangerous to think about at times. A beautiful flash, you are definatly the kind of thoughtful person I could have endless conversations with, and would enjoy doing so. Wonderful work.

Gusto responds:

"The vast amount that we do not know is overwhelming, and dangerous to think about at times."

Well said, dangerous as it can be far beyond our reach of understanding which we do not like to accept.

Thank you dearly for the respectful review.

I'd love to converse about this matter.

Thanks :D

[Smile!]

Brilliant, as always

When I'm about to watch an Aleksander Wasilewski film, I bunker down and prepare myself for an incredibly deep film that I know will be thoughtful and intriging - this being no exception. The style was obviously different from your Aura movies, but a good change of pace. As I expected, the concept was brilliant. Taking the thought of those who force you to smile into a more literal sense. It happens everyday, perhaps they don't even realize that they're prodding that plastered grin out of you, but you know. So you just keep on smiling, facing the choice of pleasing them or experiencing a horrible aftermath. And unfourtunatly, sometimes you just can't do it, try as hard as you might; this is what the movie meant to me. And showing their robotic side just opened up another entire thought chain that many have pondered again and again. A truly cinematic and hard hitting experience. I apllaude you my friend.

[Final Fantasy A+]

An incredible parody

Not only was this the greatest Final Fantasy style flash ever, but an incredible and jaw dropping flash all together. There are just so many things to say about it. The Final Fantasy elements were perfect. Converting the style of attacks to those of the game, such as "Biology" being the Poison magic, or "Extra Credit" being Cure. The creatures were creative, I loved looking at homework and tests as enemies. You even incorporated Cid, and a Moogle, and Chocobos, which made it complete. The music was perfect, and I liked seeing the old school Final Fantasy menu style and intro. And of course your animation and art were phenominal. I just can't get over how amazing it was. I thank you for making this...Dare I say greatest flash ever?

[Brunch Of The Dead Ep.2]

Classic B-movie style

I was glad to see that this one started off pretty much where the last one ended, even though you didn't put the intro in this one, which could have fitted. I was a bit confused about where the hero got his exchangable hand, or why he ran back into the house that had swarming zombies around it, but going along with the b-movie style, I suppose it fit. That vibrating hand attachment was hilarious. Overall, I didn't enjoy this one as much as the first, but there was some good zombie (and human) killing action, which is always good. Nice work. And on a final note, you really need to work on your car drawings :)

Riotcomix-2006 responds:

I didn't put the intro for two reasons, I wanted to start off the episode right away and also I had barely any more room (file size wise) to fit it believe it or not. I came really close to the 5,000.0 KB limit that Newgrounds has, with a 4,989.0 Kbs.
I'm more than happy that you enjoyed the zombie death, and to explain the vibrating hand is simply this:
Man is right handed, Man loses his hand, Man replaces his right Hand with a robotic mechanism that can slide out a variety of any item he needs for himself, either being a fork, spoon, knife, gun, or even a little helper buddy for those lonely nights. I've had to explain the Vibrator scene to 4 people, haha, and I've always said "lonely nights"
CARS, yeah, I can draw anything onto paper EXCEPT for cars for some odd reason. I don't know why, I just can't draw cars. I can draw trucks, and thats what I drew in the movie. Glad you enjoyed Episode 2, not more than Episode 1, but you still liked it nonetheless. Episode 3 will be Episode 1 & 2 elements put into a fusion.
