Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Tekno's Madness Tribute]

Very different

This is one of the best "Madness Combat" tributes I have ever seen, due to the fact that it is so radically different than the other ones. I think this is in fact the only one where the character's heads are actually drawn in the right proportion to their bodies. This could even be thought of as a preview for the third installment in the Madness series. Even the loading screen where you are literally followed around by the eyes of the guy is good. The different character designs are also great, like the one priest. It was lots of action, but did not focus so much on killing in itself, as there were only 25 deaths.

[A Mile a Minute Star Wars]

Awesome tribute

"Star Wars" is of course one of my favorite movies as well and this was a spot-on parody of it. I love the voices in this and especially with how whiny Luke sounds. It is not a gag dub like you might expect, but a full fledged cartoon that has its own animation and effects. I could just go on and on about how funny the jokes are in this. I think the funniest parts might be when the stormtrooper admitted he was stupid and gave up his pants. It is not just tedious pop culture references, but actual humor.

[NSC's Mario VS Sonic]

What a contest!

I think that this should have been the winner of the contest, as it is simply one of the best Mario Vs. Sonic things I have ever seen. I love how you can just say that you hate sprite movies and go to the part where Mario and Sonic die. The music is also fantastic and fast paced. I have no idea how a giant robots managed to get into this, but it is something I like a lot! I also like how there just seem to be a lot of things going on that all wrap up at the end. In terms of StrawberryClock, all he did was get hit by a gun, and I do not think that is that bad.

[Sonic: Uncut]

It is all great

I love this cartoon because it really does show the Sonic The Hedgehog characters in a slice of life story. The funniest part was probably when Tails said he was going to be a jerk from then on. The voices in this were done very well, and fit the characters and dialogue wonderfully. The animation is also nice, as it does not attempt to have a lot of action, just a lot of humor. It is also nice to see Knuckles and Shadow interact when they seldom do in the games. I just love the little Chaos that appear.

[DBZ in a Nutshell 2]

Egoraptor!

I had no idea that Egoraptor worked on this one, but it does not surprise me at all. In my opinion, this was much better than the original one, which was extremely popular in its own right. I think the funniest part might be when the bomb said the Universe was destroyed by anal retentive mothers around the world. At this point (I think?) Majin Buu had already killed everyone on Earth, so it would not matter if he took it over or not. There are just simply gags after gags after gags, and it is hard to even name a few. I do in fact really notice how everyone's dead at this point, of course.

[Immortal Warrior]

Daily Feature?!

Aww, dude, you still have Weekly 3rd Place, but I think you lost your DF award somehow. What matters is that you at least still have recognition for making something so great. It helps that the song is so great, any story that goes with it works. I would not compare this to something like Xiao Xiao as it is not a stick flash. You worked hard to put real depth into the animation and the action. I love how the red blood occasionally shows up against the black and white, kind of like in the Madness series.

[8 Bit D&D]

Am I getting laid?

While you did not create the audio, it still remains as perhaps the funniest cartoon released in 2003. I love how serious these people sound and how ridiculous the one drunk guy sounds. It is a great tribute to 8-bit Theater, if that is what you were aiming for. I can totally see these sort of things happening in real life. It is one reason why I will probably never get into Dungeons and Dragons, not that I would even have enough friends to work on it. The sprite animation is also great with the talking.

[All Your Base Meets CC]

The true All Your Base/Clock Crew flash

Many people have tried to combine various Newgrounds memes, but this is just one that takes the cake. It is a perfect tribute to two of the most popular things on Newgrounds. It has a lot more action than the typical AYB flash, because it actually has these guys moving along. I love the animation as well, and how these characters are just so smoothly drawn. I think this is perhaps one of the best drawings of Tricky The Clown I have seen too. The images shown are very creative and spontaneous.
