Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Blockhead: Episode 8]

What's a Newgrounds?

I am glad that this time you managed to have a Halloween focused episode actually released on Halloween! It was also great to see a new logo and a new intro. I am starting to notice that the animation is getting better all the time, even if the series was always focused more on humor. It is amazing how Blockhead is not even consistent in calling in "Ghostmas" or "Halloween". One of the funniest moments was when he said, "Neither am I!" (in the beginning). While he may have come off as just annoying as first, I now do think he should be in a mental hospital, like my brother currently is.

[Ng Mod Meat 2007]

Great story

I love the "Mortal Kombat" theme and of course all the other great elements. It is just great to see the biographies (well, brief descriptions) of so many mods on this website. As you are one of the most well known, it only fits that you would be here. It is stuff like this that makes me wish I was able to attend these things. I live in Florida, specifically Panama City, and there are not any comic cons or anything around here. If nothing else, it is great to see (or at least be reminded) of what the guys here look like.

[Meet Pomegranate Clock]

Yeah, pretty bad

I do not think I even knew what a "pomegranate" was, but now I know what it looks like at least. I can tell that you took some sound footage from the first "Toy Story" here. It would have worked out a lot better for you if you had submitted this on Clock Day for a much higher score. I admired the spirit, even if the message was nothing new. The animation was not bad, the main problem was that it was simply too short and had no story, really. I suggest that you make something more detailed, with a background too.

[Zelda Files: Chapter 6]

Not again, Link!

The best thing about this was probably how good the sprites were. Having become more familiar with your work, I know what to expect. One thing that was annoying was that scream that kept going whenever someone was mad or something. I think these comic book formats are pretty neat, and it seems like you should make a webcomic. My biggest complaint was that there was just not a strong emphasis on story or humor. I expect more action or at least a big punchline.

the next zelda files is gonna be animated so i hope thats gonna work :P

[BitterSweet]

Now that's demented

It is just fantastic to find new people come to the website and realize how much you can add to the table. This has some of the most unique animation I have ever seen in my life! It just looked so freaking professional and you honor this website by having it here! At first I thought he was going to eat the chocolate, but then he did not. And then he did in one of the best examples of cruel irony I have ever seen. We manage to get into his gingerbread head so much and realize how insane everything is around him.

[NG Museum - Tutorial]

Always informative

I personally do not have Flash Player myself, so I can not use these techniques to create something. However, it is great that you give so many newcomers a chance with this thing. While not the most detailed tutorial, it works well at giving you the basics and other things. I find it ironic that this currently has a higher score than the actual "Newgrounds Museum" submission. I was pretty weirded out to see that Pickle Woman (?) in the example artwork. It was also a nice touch to put in those "More" tabs.

[Sonic: Nazo Unleashed Pt2]

That Nazo

It is quite fascinating to realize that a character became so popular despite only appearing for like one second. I especially liked how well the stock voices synched well. I think this imitated "Dragonball Z" even more than the "Super Mario Bros Z" series. It helps that you know you to give the characters depth without the use of sprites. Nazo works great as a villian too, especially his distinctive voice. The effects are really the highlight, especially as you know how to show things like laser blasts.

[Tier]

Another great experiment

With someone as popular as you, it is great that you were experimenting with different types of submissions. It was great to see a music video from you, and it reminded me of stuff by Kol-Belov. The animation was very impressive in this. I especially liked the transitions when it went from the more detailed parts to the sort of action scenes with the action scenes. There is just so much detail and so much going on in the background. I have heard some stuff by Rammstein, but never this before.
