Pikistikman's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Powerhouse 104]

It has been a while since I saw legit sitcom material on Newgounds...

[Romney Killed My Family]

I don't know whether to blam this or five it... Ah well. Natural selection takes it's course.

[Whatcha-Ma-Funk]

Wait, what?

A family friendly cartoon on Newgrounds that's genuinely funny? Something's not right here. Five stars, just for the originality, friendliness, and general hoo-hah.

[Tom's Tales Of Awesome]

So THIS is where asdfmovie came from...

[Drawn Together~]

It's SHIT! Oh, and there was a little bit of boiling going on. Don't know if that was intentional or not, because it felt out of place. Whatevs. More awesomeness from Zeurel, I suppose.

[Ultrasound]

I'm not going to lie. This guy sounds like Gorillaz. However, he sounds like Gorillaz in a good way, with all the hip-hop-dub crossover I've come to miss since Gorillaz faded into obscurity. That said, I would like to compliment just how well that this video captures the tone set by the song. On top of that, you also seem to have shoved small bits of Gorillaz INTO the video as well, without it seeming like you "stole" Hewlitt's ideas. All in all, very deserving of all five stars.

[Kickstarter Fandango]

Was almost a four, but then the sweet sweet references started pouring in. 4.5.

[We Just Exist]

Holy Hell, mate. Holy Hell.

This is awkward. I have no idea what the fuck to say. I mean, wow.

The animation looked crude and yet, splendid, as if from the mind of a young child.

The transitions were made perfectly, completely hiding their purpose as transitions.

The humor was out of place, verging on the border between tasteless and strange. And yet, never at any point did it seem to take away from the overall mood.

Am I even allowed to call this a video? This is a short film. A legitimate short film. Over-effects completely covered up any sign that this was amateur production. Do yourself a favor, please, and submit this to the Sundance Film Festival. It's this little thing they have in Utah every year that lets independent directors such as yourself gain worldwide critical attention they deserve, as well as the funding they need to make more.

I can not begin to explain the emotional connection that I felt towards this video. I don't know how you did it.

All things said, this was literally the most amazing thing that I've seen on Newgrounds. By the way, when the remake for Out Of This World (I believe they called it Another World overseas. No idea why, it was a domestic game) comes into inception, I feel you should be there to animate it. All of it.

I'm glad you picked up on this!

As for the sundance film festival comment.. I originally really wanted to submit it into festivals but all the entries for festivals are for 2013 and i didn't want to wait another year to release the film. I might try submitting it in the future but i think because it's already premiered online a lot of festivals wont accept it? I'm not quite sure.

Anyways thanks so much for all the kind things you said and taking the time to write this review.
Expect to see more films from Marcus Graham in the near future. I'm writing a feature length film.. funding it will be my biggest battle.

[Wikishits]

Oh my god this was funny. Wow. I have no idea what to critisize you on, though, as the reason that this is funny is impossible to explain. Still funny, though.
