Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[two fight.... VA test too]

Voice acting?

If you want to do a sample for voice acting, you should really go to the audio portal and submit it there. For a VA test, you should probably have a lot more talk than just a few words and a scream. I could not tell what you were even trying to tell in the beginning. It was okay that you put that song at the end. I prefer that people just send VA tests as attachments to e-mails to the person who is making the flash. Unless of course, you are the flash maker, then I guess I can understand.

[Press Start: Shoplifter]

David Humphrey?

I am glad this great series is getting more publicity especially when you consider it got the original Shadow the Hedgehog voice to do it! I simply enjoyed watching this, as it takes the standard notion of a simple idea and imposes it on supernatural creatures. The voice work is nice of course for everybody. While the animation is cheesy, some of the transitions are pretty good. I think we can all relate to stupid machines like this that just don't work at the grocery store. It's a funny idea executed well.

MY FAVORITE CARTOON FROM NEWGROUNDS!!!!

This is the best non game submission I have ever seen through the thousands of flashes that I have reviewed. I was so disappointed that there were so few people who were submitting animutations to the portal. While it may not be considered an animutation in the strictest sense, a parody of an animutation is just as spectacular. This is the kind of thing you can watch hundreds of times and still find things about it. For example, I found out you could make a funny sound by clicking on Katie Holmes' breasts. All the animation and characters drawn are nearly flawless.

I will just never get over how Tom Cruise moves in this thing. His eyes and legs and the like move so cartoonishly, yet you still manage to keep that still frame image so brilliantly. The music is flawless and catchy as always, and even the end credits are great. It's great to see so many memes appear in an animutation for the first time. It's, uh, a bit too bad this wasn't posted on the real guy's account, but whatever. This is the longest review I have ever made on Newgrounds and it is worth every word to type!

[James and the Chief 2]

2014?

I suppose you are going on another of your miltiary trips, which I think is what happens to you. Anyway, this was fun to watch simply because it had all the great animation your cartoons have. It is pretty funny at how stupid these characters are about wanting to either open the box or blow the candles first. I think the funniest part was the guy who was being choked or held hostage or whatever. It is like something from a goofy buddy cop movie. I was a bit surprised that James did not recognize the yoyo at first.

[ClockDay with Michael Bay]

Two?

It seems as though the same people made submissions on the same day. I guess this was the one that had the explosions and action that you were talking about. I would have rated this higher if it was not so short and had more original things. I am well aware that Michael Bay makes things that explode and such, but it is getting a little overused. The clocks were a little crudely drawn and could be better. It is not something I would recommend, but is okay overall.

[Clockday09 Pancakes]

I could not help but like it

I have seen far worse stuff submitted on Clock Day 2009 (and other years) and this was good. What matters is that you really manage to make fun of yourself with this. I also like the theme of pancakes, simply because it has been so long since I have had pancakes. The characters are a little poorly drawn, but that was part of the joke. You definitley made a good enough cartoon for Clock Day. I hope you may in fact be able to make something like that described this year.

[Goo Got Talent 2]

JENGA!

I do not recall seeing the first entry in this series, but at least it seems like a great series to watch! I really like how Jimmy O'Muffins kept talking about potatoes. You would think that with his name he would do nothing but talk about muffins. Of course, the prawn guy was great as he kept talking about Jenga and other silly things. While the acts themselves weren't the best, it's the reaction the judges had that really saves this. Dang, do I love eating those Cadbury Creme eggs.

["Aeris Dies"]

Short, but sweet

I just had to watch this because of the fantastic animation I saw in the preview. I knew Rina-chan or someone like that was going to voice Aeris on this. It is just such an adorable voice that fits someone as delicate as Aeris! As I said, the animation was great and I just loved how the characters moved. It was also a surprise to see Sephiroth at the end. You have really managed to create your own style that gives depth to the animation even if it is just a short comedy thing.
