Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Civilisation]

Freaky and cool

I was quite impressed by this if only because of the awesome animation. The best is when they show everybody panned out so we get a wide shot of the entire city. These have to be some of the most original Clock designs I have ever seen. I was waiting for a time when you would use audio from a Bill Murray movie (at least I think that's what you did). Was Ki10 supposed to be getting shot or something? While the plot was pretty hard to follow (if there even was one) it is good for any Clock Crew member.

[Take This]

No, they don't

It is always good to take part in self depredation, especially in an entire group! I thought the clocks were put in an organized manner, but they seemed to be completely randomly. I knew I saw the blue pineapple (whatever fruit that was) clock a few times. While little goes on, it actually does have some fairly decent animation. It is hard to like something that has so little appeal. It is still nice to make fun of yourself especially by making something so cheesy to reflect the hate of the crew.

['05 'o Clock]

Great work

This was a great flash because it was just so happy. It is extremely effective to show StrawberryClock at first out in the woods where no one seems to notice him, but he still salvages for himself. Apart from having good animation, the song is just so great to listen to. I think this is even the first time I saw someone use the "Music Video" for Genre, not that I ever look at that anyway. The message at the beginning was really neat too. This is how everybody wants to and should live their lives.

[Norway's kidney stone]

What a stone

The funniest part about this was how you worked so hard to make the kidney stone passing seem dignified. I am not that familiar with NorwayClock so it is nice to see him gets his own cartoon. The animation was good, especially with how the stone passed through his urethra. It was definitley appropriate for the Clock Crew, as not much happened. Of course, I doubt you really can add flashy stuff to a cartoon about someone passing a kidney stone. I sure hope I never have to deal with those.

[Love Imposters]

It was worth the wait!

This was really cool to watch because the idea of comets being people's faces was so funny. I guess I have a dirty mind, because I kept thinking he was saying "Strawberry C*nt". I love the ending where they simply collapse because their faces are too big. It was also cool to see that they lived on BiologicalClock. People are always going to make blatant ripoffs of something, no matter how cheesy or silly it may turn out. I especially like the repetitive talking and the overall satire.

[† DurianClock]

Not real

I just went over to DurianClock's profile and he made a news post this very year. It is still nice that you wanted to admire a friend, even if he is still alive. While there was not that much going on, what did go on was done pretty well. Stock footage of explosions will simply never go out of style. I appreciated the strong message that you gave and I hope you do cope well if you ever do happen to lose any friends or family. DurianClock is not that well know here, so it was nice to make a tribute to him.

[Ring Of Orange]

Weird, but good

I'm the first person to write a review for this since February 2006?! Anyway, this was a really nice cartoon because you just have no idea at all what is going to happen next and it is all quite suspenseful. The only flaw is that there are a couple of pauses that are too long between dialogue. It is hard to tell what is real or not, even the last scene! It was also nice to have the Clocks have regular voices instead of the Speaker phone kinds. The animation was really good too, especially with OrangeClock's eyes.

[Chrono Trigger Unglued 19]

Educational indeed

I am still amazed at how you guys increase everything with each new entry. I really have to give credit to all the great voice actors who put so much work into this. It was kind of weird how you only seemed to do that after awhile. Every character has his or her own depth that works in so well, and it seems like a great place for someone like me to get started. This probably had the most of any subject, like the funniest bits and the parts with the most action. Of course, the sprite work and animation gags are great too.

Thank you again for your kind words, I always try to give my all during production even if not much is actually happening at all during the epiode. If you want to find out more about possibly voicing for CTU, please contact me on ICQ at: 69132774

[School 13 - I H8 X-MAS]

Who could hate Christmas?

This episode was a lot of fun because it really focused on having a simple slice of life story. The animation is hilarious, especially how the main character's face goes crazy when he looks inside the box. I also enjoyed the shot of those strange people at the checkout counter. Not being able to prove you are under 18 is an amusing alibi as well. The animation was good, although I do think the main guy still kind of looks like a lizard. It was funny for him to say, "What the hell, what the heck?".

[48 Hours Goodbye]

I would never vote zero

While not as good as say, "I'm A Scat Man" this was still pretty entertaining. I really like just how random the entire thing is. I wish I had some idea as to what it was that blue clock said in the beginning of the cartoon with his shovel and all. The funniest part was probably when you could put your mouse over the BUTTS button and hear something funny. I just wish you would make more things like that! The animation is good and I am fairly surprised this has a low score (well, not that bad but should be higher).
