Kolter's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Globe Spinning]

Great work on the animation but the joke was only mildly amusing at best. The joke was predictable so that removed the surprise factor and deducted funny points.
Additionally, the video was scientifically inaccurate. You cannot open the emergency exit during flight due to cabin pressure (Smith 2013), especially at that high an altitude. The interior pressure fixes the door into place with such a large amount of force that even a champion bodybuilder can't budge it open. In order to open the door you'd have to force the pilot to depressurise the cabin first before you can open the door. If anyone's wondering how skydivers can dive off planes, it's because the planes they leap off from are not pressurised.
I'm giving most of the points for the fluid animation, so good work on that. I hope your future animations are funnier.

[your art is shit]

Well-done animation and affecting narration with very appropriate background music. A compelling message too, though rather a little melodramatic. But still a very keen observation of the artist's mind and their constant struggle with their art not being "good enough". It's true enough that a lot of artists get thoughts like that. However, stating "your art is shit" like it applies to everything is fallacious.
You state it like a fact, but the only fact is that art is subjective. Even those amalgamations of other people's styles can be original; just because someone takes inspiration from another artist doesn't mean they're unoriginal and pretentious. Those previous artists had to take inspiration from something or someone else too. In fact, everything we make is essentially stolen from others - standing on the shoulders of giants if you will.
You can't count all art as being shit because art's quality cannot be quantified objectively. Each individual has their own experiences and will perceive art differently. That's the main point of art - art is not good because all the critics are raving about it; art is good because individuals are emotionally impacted by it and its existence enhances their life. That art will be shit to some but those individuals that appreciate it will think it's beautiful.
You're probably aware of this, and maybe this video wasn't meant to be taken from an objective standpoint but from the point of view of the artist with low self-esteem who feels the need to compare him/herself to other artists. In that case, good work on the "shit" art.

One part really rustled my jimmies.
00:29 "A Frankenstein on canvas"
People often mistakenly believe that the name Frankenstein refers to the monster in the story, but that name is actually attributed to Dr. Frankenstein - the scientist who brought the monster to life. The monster doesn't really have a name and is often just referred to as Frankenstein's monster.
Or maybe you are aware of that fact and "A Frankenstein on canvas" refers to the fact that the artist is emulating what Dr. Frankenstein did (Dr. Frankenstein collected body parts from corpses and combined them together to create his monster). Maybe you meant it in the way that people mean it when they say things like, "that's totally a Dali" or "That's a classic van Gogh" and so on. I'll assume that's the case and give you the benefit of the doubt.

Nice description.

"but every song's like gold teeth, grey goose, trippin' in the bathroom
blood stains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel room,
we don't care, we're driving cadillacs in our dreams.
but everybody's like cristal, maybach, diamonds on your timepiece.
jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash.
we don't care, we aren't caught up in your love affair."

[LUCKY DAY FOREVER]

Wonderfully dark. This is a fantastic, imaginative story. The dark mood that's established throughout the entire film is fitting. I wouldn't say too much about the flash because if I do it would spoil it. I'll recommend anyone to watch it.
I think it should be longer though, it feels like a not fully realized film at the moment. I'd say the ending was a bit abrupt and left me hanging. However, the film is great.

[Batman : The Droppings]

The main reason I'm giving this a 2.5/5 is the content. You definitely had fantastic graphics, and the drawings were very well done, however this wasn't complemented by the jokes, which fell a bit flat. If it had the proper mixture of content and graphics then it would warrant a five vote, but it doesn't. The content is lacking, there isn't much to the plot other than overused fart jokes and exaggerated voices. I just wish it wasn't so unnecessarily over-the-top.

Animation was superb, voice acting was on par, and graphics were great overall. This is pretty good for a 3D movie. The only problem was the script. It was very similar to the beginning sequences of Up wherein the protagonist meets a person of the opposite sex who appears to have similar interests as him. Even up to the awkwardness of the protagonist seems like it was derived from Up. The storyline could surely use some work and improvement, and a tinge of originality, instead of having the same girl-sees-interesting-boy-and-they-fa ll-in-love or whatever. The film is great on its own but it would be superb with a similarly good script.

[Savlonic : The Driver]

Lovely, very catchy, and very danceable 4/4 beat.
Reminds a bit of new wave. :)

[KONY2012]

Good animation, and the message is clear.
But it's a bit over-the-top, and the comedy felt a bit forced.
