Bass-Grenade's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

Moving Artwork

The story and the hidden imagery were lost on me due to the landscaping of this animated short. It was reminiscent of a Van Gogh painting coupled with the chosen voice of the main character. This was truly an epic turn on Firth's usual work bringing out his more artistic side.

There's really nothing more to say other than this is a perfect work of art. If it was done in any other format other than flash, a million questions would've been asked about the quality and texture. Since it is a flash animation, this is a flawless work of art under difficult circumstances.

Beautiful Execution

I can still remember the first time I saw this short. The overall feeling it left me with wasn't necessarily a feeling of sadness or some other type of depressive state. I felt this sense of rebellion as if I was some child who was beaten one too many times.

This is a very impressive piece of animation indeed. Although this idea has been done time and again, Wasilewski manages to make this all his own. The music adds to the atmosphere of course but the choice of visuals ultimately drive the point home. The simplistic surroundings and character design are pure genius. The robotic overlords seem to be cookie cutter images of each other but upon close inspection, you'll notice there are subtle differences in each one that represent the corporate regime. As the main character descends, the orgy ensues, giving the piece an eerie undertone.

All in all, a very impressive piece of work.

MY PEBBLES!!!

There were some pretty goddamn impressive flashes in here. I had to pause this bitch after watching the Fruity Pebbles parody especially after Fred's money shot on Snake. And of course, the mine sweeper and explosive diarrhea ones were instant classics. Nice work all around everybody!

[X-Men:Dark Phoenix Rising]

Clever Take on a Classic

I thought your animated shorts would be based off the new films that have been coming out recently but thank God you chose to do the real X-Men universe. Everything about this was really good: the voices, the dialogue, the character design. Excellent work on this one and your other flash animations on the X-Men.

[Madness HalfLife 2]

Potential for Greatness

This was just way too goddamn short. Everything about it was incredible except for that one tiny little detail. If time was put into this to make a detailed "Madness" tribute set in the "Half-Life 2" universe, that shit would make me hard. But this was just way....too.....short.

It was like seeing only one naked boob before the girl decides to get naked. If this author doesn't make a full length version of this, someone else will wise up and make one themselves.

[Meet the Spy]

Not Bad

The animation was a little rough around the edges but the rest of it was top notch! Aside from the fact that it wasn't computer generated, I thought I was watching a Valve endorsed TFC2 video. Really good stuff.

Amazing Creature Design

It's safe to say that Wojcik has a rabid imagination coupled with a gift for animation. Although there was no story, this was a real gift for the eyes. The entire piece was a whimsical but hellish romp through the mind of this unique artist. A fine animated short that depicts what might come about if Clive Barker and Tim Burton joined forces!

[Red Riding Hood]

Timeless Work

The artistry in this work was extremely well done as well as the choice of scenes. There have been several filmmakers that have attempted to modernize or improve the way fairy tales and fables like this one are told. Very few can make a full blown production with the punch that this flash animation had.

That all being said, perhaps it is time to remake this flash and smooth out the animation and audio. I love this piece and I look forward to seeing it remastered in the future.

[Left 4 Speed]

Zombies are the least of our worries...

This was even better than that completely insane take on Spongebob that was released not too long ago. After playing "Left 4 Dead" a great deal, I'd say the nail was not just hit on the head....it was completely smashed and blown apart. Excellent piece of demented shit once again!

[Spongebob Sickpants]

Complete Chaos

I loved practically every minute of this flash animation. It was maybe the most fucked up piece of shit I've seen on this site and that is saying a lot. Completely politically incorrect and contained way too many drug references for an internet video. Who gives a fuck though, right?
