Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Weird Al's Best]

It ain't awful!

I like anything by Weird Al Yankovic, even if I do not know what he is parodying, as in this case. It was a good idea to have that lengthy description at the beginning. I have to admit that occasionally adding stuff in as it goes along is a cool way to procrastinate. The best part and the most insane was definitley when he was listing all those items. You know how to keep up with the fast pacedness of the actual song. There are just so many things being sprayed out of the lyrics, it goes well with the animation.

[Jerry]

The stage is set

This has become one of your most popular series on here, so it is great to see where it all started. These cartoons work because they really try to give a good slice of life style. There is no dialogue and we learn that this is indicative of Jerry's personality. If anything, it teaches you a great lesson about not having unprotected sex with strangers. While it does give a depressive tune at first, it is great that it gets better. I think the animation, as usual, is a major boost because it completely rejects being flashy.

[The Stranger Forest]

What a world!

I was not thinking so much about Adam Philips as I was thinking about HotDiggedyDemon. I guess the body frames and the heads just look so familiar. I was amazed at how well it used the ten minutes that it ran. There was just so much going on and you had no idea what direction or path it was going to take next. Not the most comprehensible, but certainly great in how imaginative it was. The beginning with the simple orange spider drawings really set the tone for better stuff.

[-Sugar sugar-]

My first from you!

I think this may in fact have been the first flash cartoon you guys made that I actually viewed myself. I like it because it goes back to the days of the actual Archies. They were profound for being one of the first animated bands, so you pay tribute to them with a pretty basic song. If there was one thing it could have improved on, it would have been more of a background. It does make it all the more effective when you have more effects. The animation is good, especially with how he is being hit in slow motion.

[Mario RPG: Rawest Forest]

Guess who?

I think this was one of the cartoons that really paved the way for your work here parodying video games. This was not even that much of a parody, as there were not that many gags. As I have of course seen your audio stuff, it was great to see a flash being put to something that good. I had never even heard of Mario RPG before I saw this! It is great that you got out of High School and have of course done so much since then. I am always a sucker for showing a character and then having multitudes of the character on a single screen.

[It's Freakin' Luigi]

The sketches are back!

While the gags are great, it is especially good to know that you put effort into the sprite work. In every outside location, there is something detailed in the background. Considering that this was back in the simplest of Mario graphics, that is impressive. My favorite scene is definitley the part where Luigi keeps getting hit with hammers. It was funny to see him dodge and then get hit again, because honestly, that is what I would have done. It was also fun to see Toad catch on fire and everyone laugh at the end.

[Eddsworld Zombeh Attack 3]

My brother's name is Mat

This was one of the most fun zombie things you did, because it has such a great spirit to it. It probably has the highest average score in reviews of anything you have done. I just loved all the random jokes in this, like the Molotov cocktail fantasy. The action scenes are good in their own rights. You know, Matt saying the whole thing was "cheesy" was actually a pretty cheesy joke in and of itself. You also did a good job of hiding their wounds at the end and Matt's randomness was to be expected.

[Dog Daze of Boredom]

That's a cute dog

It was a good idea to have a cartoon where everything was from Spike's point of view. This is significant because I think it is the only time when we get to hear Spike's thoughts. I think that this is exactly what a dog would be thinking as those things happened. While it did not have the best animation, you did a great job of making Spike cute. It was great to have some surreal parts like when Spike appeared to be flying with his tail. It was also great to just throw in random funny moments, like with the squirrel.

[1 - The Story of Khale]

Quite gorgeous

It might not be on par with something like the "Brackenwood" series, but still awesome in its own right. I like how it knows how to build itself up to a great journey. I keep thinking Khale looks like Beast Boy from "Teen Titans". There are tons of great things to see here, especially the unique designs of the wildlife. The music, as always, contributes to the peaceful and graceful theme of the cartoon. While it may lack plot, it does not matter because it is just so fun if you want to watch something casual.
