Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[:: Caffeine Conspiracy ::]

Coffee?

I at first thought that "Star Shmucks" was meant to be an annoying name made up by Foamy. Then of course, I realized that was in fact the name of the actual Starbuck's parody. Anyway, I thought this was pretty good. Some people complain about how there should be more movement in your stuff, but I really like to look at things like hand gestures and how they change fitting the character's mood. In something like this, really loving it depends on whether or not you agree with Foamy. I don't know much about coffee, but I can at least be amused by any message you were trying to send.

[Call to moving company 2]

Prank call?

It's a bit difficult to judge a prank call submission to Newgrounds. No offense, but if you're just going to use plain audio, you should probably send this over to audio submissions. It doesn't look too attractive when it's really just one frame. Still, I should judge this of course more by the content and not any politics or whatever behind it. I was impressed how you kept talking about having sex with the chicken. I really had no idea where this was going or what it was even for but throwing in chickens is always a good idea.

[Press Start: Solicitors]

Pretty funny

I'm becoming more familiar and I'm learning it's more of a villian protagonist theme. Even if it isn't, the villians are certainly more intersting than the heroes. It was funny how everyone just came asking for stuff over and over. It was also funny how the main villian was able to simply yell all of the resolutions and crush the DMA guy. While not some of your best, it's good to see these characters interacting. The animation isn't that great, but as a comedy series, that probably wasn't what you were aiming for anyway.

[Moonlight]

Some of your best stuff!

I knew that with how prolific you were in making flashes that were so critically acclaimed, I'd have to love one of them. I felt that this had some of the best emotion and the best use of animation in your stuff. My favorite part was the topless (?) centaur with the mask and claws. The music is also very beautiful. You're a person who's shown that they can turn flash into a true work of art. I can see why this was one of the few flashes that won every single main award of the week.

[Astronomy Domine]

Very colorful

I was expecting something good, but not this good! This was a very impressive use of animation (I couldn't tell if this was CGI or something?) and I'd love to know your technique. I haven't heard the song before and I think it's good. This sort of reminded me of "Yellow Submarine" with all the trippy colors and the singing going on. It kept sounding like it was ended but it kept going on. With all the ridiculously cool color effects, I honestly couldn't tell which part is my favorite.

[-Sandwich-]

Great stuff

I've never heard of Parry Gripp before (a parody band?) but this was very nice. It has the absolutely adorable animation you have in your short stuff. I also just like the idea of a sandwich being a guy's best friend with all the bread and cheese and stuff. After awhile, the lyrics were just "Sandwich, sandwich" but it still managed to be good. Kudos for taking a simplistic idea and adding real charm to it. It's just the kind of thing a person could casually watch and enjoy, which I did.

[Thank you Josh McDaniels]

Who is Josh McDaniels?

It doesn't help that I am very unfamiliar with this sports affair with Josh McDaniels. It is nice to finally be able to review something made by you, one of the most prolific reviewers on the website yourself. I guess it was funny to see the guy's mouth get bigger and bigger. I know what it's like, being one of the best reviewers, but making some stuff nobody likes. I still haven't figured out how to download the flash thing at the beginning and it's sad if you don't know how to either. The music got annoying after being so loud.

[: Squirrel Songs 6 :]

Pretty funny

I think it was cool how this used Pil-Ze instead of the usual Foamy. I felt it was just funny to hear a different chipmunk like voice over and over. I didn't even notice the bows in Germaine's hair, is that by chance something new? It was nice how you tried to be socially relevant by talking about the health care crisis. I do, however, disagree with you on the subject of people taking too much medication. My family and I have experienced a ton of mental pain and medicine has always helped, although I can still get where you're coming from.

[counting bodies/neocon]

Wow, great stuff!

It's funny looking back and thinking that these things don't have relevance anymore as Bush isn't President. It's still a great flash to watch because of the political points it makes. I liked how the people on the TV looked so stupid to emphasize their corruptness. The best animation was probably the giant robot elephant. 1984 is one of my favorite books too and it set the same mood pretty well. It sort of updated it into a more futuristic with something more relevant to that time period.

[Family Values ep1 part1]

Not bad at all

While I didn't think this was funny, I admit that it had its good points, or at least its enjoyable points. The CGI was interesting, if only because it was funny in a really dumb way. I liked how the characters moved and how the skeleton reformed. The dialogue was a little hard to understand, but it wasn't terrible. I think that with more plot, better animation and voice work, this could be something really popular. I mean, it certainly is an idea I haven't seen on this site before.
