LJCoffee's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[FGFT, Apple vs Strawberry]

Not bad but nothing original about it.

It wasn't bad - really - but you lost style points because SO many movies have been made in that same way... You're a good animator - and your graphic style is decent - just try to be the one who finds the next cool way to put it all together - BTW - don't mind me much - I'm just so sick of anything with a theme involving "fights" "fruits" "clocks" and school projects.... but that's just me...

Really though - you have skills , I'm looking forward to seeing how you'll use them next.

[Flash to the Future]

Points awarded for tedium...

You obviously worked very hard on this - the animation was very good - the sound couldv'e been better - as others have said - too repetitive - no voice - also - a bit too long considering that most people have seen the movie and probably don't want to sit through the whole thing - and others who haven't seen the original wouldn't really appreciate it anyway... Overall though very good job - you have skills - try the same style, graphics etc. with the addition of some voice if possible and your own story and you'll get a 10 every time...

Keep it up.

[The War on Terror]

Points given for taking a position

I may disagree with much of what you said , but I support your rights to make your ideas and opinions known. I'm all for free speech - I gave you a few points for taking a stance - doesn't really matter if I or anyone else agree - most people take a soft ball fuzzy line approach to politics and then after being too timid to make a defined statement they call it "a thinker"... Next time around try using a few more visual elements to support the text - good style for textual content though...

[Red Diamond Dragon Club]

Odd movie, but the author's got skills...

Twisted - The animation was good - great job on the lip sync. Very bizarre - funny in a slightly homophobically uncomfortable with the idea of scatophilia kind of way... awesome though - keep 'em coming...

[The Hold On Dream]

First movie... really?

If it actually is (one of) your first movies then you have amazing potential - try cleaning up your drawings a bit - they were a little too rough around the edges - if you clean them up you can decrease your file sizes quite a bit... maybe try optimizing the vectors - this can sometimes help alot and may even suit your style at higher settings with multiple passes... All around halfway decent submission though - keep it up!

spellbound55 responds:

thanks for the input, though i dont know anything about vectors or passes - ill try and figure it out for my next one though..

[SnakeII]

Not terrible - not fantastic ...

I think that if you developed the idea a bit more and made this animation a bit longer it would be alot better... The last reviewer said something like - "not?bad?game?" - game?? did I completely miss something here? - I looked (and once more as well) but I saw only a short animation... Oh well - like I said - nothing awesome about this but I've seen much worse...

NotSoFunny responds:

Did you not see the big blinking sign which saids "CLICK HERE FOR OTHER VERSION"???? Man, do I have to go over to your house and put my fat fingers on your monitor for you to see it!
Forget it, your a hopeless case it seems... :-(

[Chaos Games ep 2]

Ehh....

Nothing new... nuthin neu... at least I didn't vote to blam it ...

[Virtual Fever_]

and you chose to create a stick movie because???

Another stick movie... nothing special about it really... no story, plot or anything of interest. the animation wasn't terrible but it certainly wasn't awesome either. Try blazing your own trails once in a while - you might get lucky enough to stumble across the next cool little thing that a million other people will emulate poorly - like stick fight animations...

[Stevie and Zoya Part 2]

Keep it up!

Same as my review for part 1.

Great new set of swf's.

see you at the thugfest N.Y.

[Stevie and Zoya Part 1]

Great submission - cool style

The rasterized bitmaps worked well for this piece. Very different from the usual stick fight, 1,000 ways for a stick to die, pull my sticks finger and the new adventures of Mr. Stick pt. 1 movies that I keep seeing here...
Great style, go with it - a little punky - a little urbanesque - and a little Aeon Fluxish...

Keep it up!

aceconrad responds:

thanks...thryin to get trippy...y'know..
