Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Breakaway]

Alright to watch

It was interesting to hear someone use the song "Break Away" and not have it be made by Kelly Clarkson. I think the animation is pretty good in this one. I liked how you were not trying to do anything that elaborate and just make a simple little music video. It is not the best of your work, maybe only because I do not think the song is that good. It definitley has heart and is trying to send a positive message to the audience. There are some weak points, such as the kid having purple outlines.

[Chips & Pete]

Getting better

I can see the animation is improving with each of the new cartoons you are putting up. I was pretty confused to this, as I had no idea what was really going on. I still liked it, because I think it really tried to give an authentic feeling of a standard fantasy story. The animation reminds me of the work by Chris Miller AKA Snakejohnson. I have to admit that Pete has a pretty funny design with that clock on his stomach. The voices were not bad either and I do think they fit the personalities well.

[Litter Bug]

And I love writing

It is important to note that aluminum is the most recyclable product out there, I believe. I have heard some people say that recycling is not that important, but even they can agree aluminum is good. This was a bit informative, but it would have been nicer if there were some statistics. Not to sound nerdy, but that is what I look for in things like these. It is nice that some people are talking about not littering and stuff. It just could have had more detail instead of just the blank background.

[B-group's Bums]

I can tell it is your first

It was nice to see something by you that was not a game but a full flash cartoon, but this one was not that great. The animation was as good as anything else you have worked on, though. The main problem is that I do not even understand what the punchline is supposed to be. I may not be judging this fairly because I have not seen the comic it was based on. For something so short, I just normally expect something more. At least it was a half decent effort to start on this website and I believe I am the 3,000th viewer!

[Ride Like The Wind]

Experiment like mad!

It was so cool how you worked on nearly nothing but stick figures until now. I think it is safe to say that this was great as something truly different to what you are used to. The best part is probably the CGI. It was just so gorgeous to see how it interacted with the regular flash effects. For some reason, the animation reminded me of the stuff by JAZZA, especially like his "Paladin" series or "The Composer". The race with all the different aliens reminded me of the pod race from "Star Wars: The Phantom Menace".

[Mastermind]

So it begins!

As "Blockhead" was one of your most successful series, it did seem pretty weird you would make another one. It shows that you can at least be good with different styles. I make it amazing that the animation manages to be so good. While the series is great for its humor, it is always impressive that animators just make it nice to look at. I can tell the Mastermind's voice is similar to Blockhead's conscience. A lot of the jokes are just so unpredictable, I mean I was not expecting to see a giant pair of breasts.

[Oh Oh Oh Sexy Vampire]

Good vampires

I think this is one of the best vampire flashes I have seen and I can not even think of any others right now. It helps that the music is simply flawless as always. I think this was one of your entries that focused a lot more on emotion as it dealt with a relationship, kind of. The action scenes are really good too and it was cool to see her vampire powers. When that thing exploded, I could not help but thinking that they both died. Whatever the intention truly was, it was great to look at and view.

[Hemisphere]

Fairly impressive

I could tell this was an early work as it was not the best that I have seen from you. It was still really cool with all the stuff going on, especially the animation. Some of the animation did look a little cheap, but the CGI parts really made up for it. The battle scenes were well done and they seemed to have everything you could want in a battle flash like this. I can finally say that I realize your CGI logo is very cool. While it is not the most original of stories, it still has enough good parts to recommend.

[I Own Time]

So TENT is your brother?

The pixellation got a bit annoying, but the CGI made up for it. In case anyone is wondering, here is what it said when it showed New Guy's profile.

Name: New Guy
Born: 1876ad Died: 4882ad
Big explanation that follows: Misc is a happy man with many people stabbing ideals. Once bred a sheep with ants then as a 56 year old child stole apples for a living. His father was an emu power-cart. He exists only now a a paperboy in disguize of another paperboy. Secreatly leading his double life his associates are unaware.

[EVA6]

Animutation!

I guess this was your shot at animutation or something like it at least. I love surrealism and it really makes sense you would be a big fan of "Neon Genesis Evangelion" even if the surrealism was not really until the end of the series. It was great to see parts of your game being used. This was aired on Christmas, so I hope you had a good and trippy Christmas! Some of my favorite images include your recreation of scenes from the series like Rei slapping Shinji and Shinji choking Asuka. It was perhaps more enjoyable than the hentai stuff you usually do.
