Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Zimmi EP 1]

Reminds me of Catoblepas

I like how you managed to make the things rhyme on accident (which I guess I can't thank you for). The strongest point is how good the animation is along with the character designs. I was expecting it to take a pretty dark turn as it went along but it handled it very well. What is kind of fascinating is that you manage to actually make it a bit light-hearted after that. It is not entirely dark humor as it actually has a pretty good story with it. I love how you mention the Playstation2 in your author's comments.

[Bath]

A world of pure imagination

This is great, because it really makes you think about when you were a kid and all of the stuff you just miss out on. It easily has the best quality of this song I have ever heard. The stick figures look a lot like those from "Cyanide And Happiness". Of course, the animation is very innovative and great in its own right. It just really shows that there will always be a part of you composed of pure imagination that makes you realize how great the world is. It is just a very happy thing to watch as it fills you with joy.

[Madness Experimentation]

PPP?

I guess you made a lot of stuff that never really got finished. I do hope you someday finish this, but it looks like it is absolutely fantastic! I admired the unique animation because it really made you think about what these Madness guys look like. They have no faces at all, so why not give them faces in the forms of masks? Even the main guy had the regular Madness outline on his face as he shot everything up. It is a great way to take a realistic look at a series that can come off as being cartoonish.

[SF Collab Reject]

The animation is fine

A lot of people are always looking for hidden meaning in stuff and there are sometimes just none at all. This is definitley an example. I do not even know what this has to do with "Street Fighter" other than that poop can be funny. As something is so short, it is hard to write a firm review for it, but I will at least try. It is too bad this did not make it into the collab, seeing as how you are a respected guy around here. In its rare form, it pretty much is absolute sh*t, which is also literal.

[Geoweasel Episode 18]

It gets better all the time!

I really enjoyed this one and think it is the best you have made (even though I have only seen two of your works). I think this one focuses more on gags which really work. I chuckled at the prescence of "Dwarf" being added to the planet "Pluto". The weirdest thing is that I actually was on the forums and I posted in this one topic about a guy who claimed there was a negative zero! It looks like you both got that joke at nearly the same time. I was expecting that joke about Iraq, but it was still funny.

[Larkmart - Interview]

Not with that shirt, you're not

I was hoping that this would be about a guy who was actually getting an interview for Larkmart. It was still pretty funny, especially with lines like his torpedo leaving the sub. I like how that guy looks like David Blaine and his arm can turn into a hot dog. I would know how difficult it can be to get a job in today's economy. I think this was one of the lesser entries, maybe because there could have been a bit more action. It was of course great how you referenced Newgrounds in the list of websites.

thanks for watching, ericho, and for taking the time to write up a review. in an upcoming episode, there's more action and more mayhem - so keep watching!

[Battle For Turf Control]

I do seldom see these

I was disappointed at first, but I thought this was going to be a game. While admittedly I was a bit bored with the dialogue, it did get better as the action came on. It certainly had the graphics and the style faithful to the "River City Ransom" series. The character designs are not that great, but that was probably part of the part. I like how the music is just so cheery while the action is more serious. The funniest thing about thing is that while some were called dorks, they all kind of look like dorks to me.

[MB's Weird Mysterys Ep. 2]

A bit too long

I am first being introduced to this series and it is interesting to know that it was based on a comic. I especially like how you made fun of the haters at first. I mean, I am a guy who has made over 3400 reviews and I have never even bought Flash Player to animate with! Speaking of which, I thought the animation was still decent. It took a completely different turn than what the intro showed me. I will say it was a bit hard to listen to some of the dialogue, especially when Megatron was in the bar.

[Battle in the Sky]

Very nice!

I could tell that you were heavily influenced by Vinnie Veritas. Anyway, this was great because it went in a completley different direction than what I thought it would! At first I thought it was just going to be a mundane flash about doing public service work or something. It really surprised me how it got into a giant space battle! I love the animation in this, especially the design of the red eyed tentacle monster appearing on top of the ship. Everyone here just seems to be really pleasant.

Pablo-M responds:

lolwut public service? haha
Thank you!

[Vince The Voodoo doll]

Very catchy

I love this song, because it seems like it is trying to imitate classic singing but with a non sequitor meaning to it. It seems like it has been awhile since I saw something of yours that was really good. I love the cartoony effects, especially with how the beginning and end is the same. The weird thing is that the robbers themselves kind of looked like voodoo dolls. Vince looked funny with that little cape around his neck. It is also cool how the Moon is so cartoonish and shows the end credit.
