JakBaronKing's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Blue Nova 067]

You must be studying anime religiously

Because that was a COOL Mecha Tribute!

One day you should knuckle down and make a full length feature something.

Hulalaoo responds:

I was studying microwaves

[Drugs, drugs, drugs!]

Now this is a much proper PSA than that 80's one.

Hell, you should see if you can get this to be spotted on Comedy Central or Adult Swim.

BillyNapalm responds:

I could only hope. :(

[The T 'Intro']

I've always liked this art-style.

I don't know the technical term for this particular art style but it's becoming ever more popular in the animation world these days.

Because of one of the characters, I'm assuming there's gonna be some funny jewish jokes here and there. As well as some 'inner-monolugue" being typical from noir-ish detective films?

It seems that Stamper is quite the versatile voice actor.

The musical score is beautiful.

AlmightyHans responds:

no inner monologue, but yes some jew jokes.

[Quest of the Manwhore]

Cysts really suck

But this doesn't suck.

Another amusingly dirty music video! I especially like the solo "Woahooowahoo"

MANWHORE'S AWESOME!

Sexual-Lobster responds:

thanks!

[Wilhelm Park]

Heh-that's an interesting twist to the whole genre

I mean...Tentacle Hentai has been widely accepted as a pop culture sensation in pornographic animation.

It's grotesque and obscene and leaves you with a bad feelin' in your gut.
....Unless your into that sorta thing - then have at it!

This is funny because it follows the tradition of what a typical situation would be but then ends with something very unexpected.

I'm curious to wonder what kinda world this Flash is taking place in?

They mentioned as if Vampires and Werewolves were real. Is this a promo for a mildly tantalizing comedic horror comic series?

Also....SuperMeat boy shirt.

redminus responds:

Hey Jak!
That's an excellent question and I'm still considering it, myself.... I have another story in the works that takes place in the same city, or at least surrounding area, but doesn't really reference this one directly. My question at the moment is, definitely, how far I want to push the "magical realism" of the whole thing. I'm still working on that for the time being but for the moment I can say for sure that weird supernatural occurrences will be the crux of the series.

As for their early dialogue, it was just awkward-joke-making-flirty-chat, they don't really BELIEVE in werewolves or zombies. WHICH IS TOO BAD BECAUSE THEY'RE REAL AMIRITE LOLOLOL

[Folding Cranes]

MAN THAT WAS COOL

And it is a great reflect on your skills as an animator.

Your fluid and neat!

You can be spontaneous and well organized.

You my friend, are All kinds of artists in one.

TheBoogley responds:

thanks man! all of the kinds? that's a whole lot of kinds :D

[Hilarious Cat Sleeping!!!]

heh heh, that's funny, good message.

Although that video didn't pull up when I did the exact word search. Someone needs to post that video. Tom Fulp should film his cats like a lonely cat lady.

You should post pictures of your trip or make a flash about it. We wanna hear about it.

SamGreen responds:

Haha not a great deal to report, just meeting the man behind the operation was great. Same for JohnnyUtah. :D

[Snowy VII In Space]

Meh, it wasn't the most engaging episode

It's almost like a face palm to my forehead because of it's nonsensical plot direction.

I really didn't like how the previous background explanations are changed per episode. I mean, yeah it served well for the previous ones but this was just too out-there.

I suppose for intended humor, this was meant to confuse and irritate the audience.

Aside from a weak plot device, the overall animation and voice acting was pretty decent. With the exception of the two APPLE twins who appear just a bit on the still side for animation.

I still look forward to the conclusion.

[Tootsie Roll Dysfunction]

This is some sick shit! hell'a funny, but too long

There's only so much toilet or physiological humor one can handle at once.

This was just a bit slur of nonsense. If you spaced it apart, even if it was twice as long the timing is key for getting people prepared for the humor.

Ever studied "Red & Stimpy". It is FAMOUS for this type of humor. But it is spaced apart not just to fill a 10 minute gap per episode.

But to prepare the audience for next visual joke. You gotta let your viewer rest up. Then have them laugh again.

That's my suggestion. Other than that the visuals and voice acting was spot on.

FatKidWitAJetPak responds:

Very helpful tip there! I will remember to use that in my next cartoon, which will be a bit less psychopathic. Thanks for that. :)

[A Convict Christmas]

They say people do bad things from time to time...

But that doesn't necessarily make one a bad person.

The extent of humanity can be reached to even the darkest of souls.

And that's my impression of this flash.

It was nice and humorous and you may not have intended it, but it may just get people to think deeper about "good will towards men".

Oney responds:

how touching :(
