Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[WGJ4K: Twilight Princess]

Best so far

I really liked this one and I think it is in fact the best in the series, because it is the best example of satire. I loved how they just called it a "paper with words on it" or something. It took me awhile to understand the joke, as it did seem like an old game at first, which is why it would not work for the Wii. I actually remember reading that same book in school and I really liked it. No one seems to have respect for great literature anymore, but at least the stupid looking characters were funny. The Homestar Runner/Happy Tree Friends joke was very funny too.

[Interviews in Hell]

Really old?

Wow, for being really old, it does still have pretty impressive animation. What makes this important is that I believe this is the first cartoon you made that really took place in Hell. I am now quite used to seeing that logo with the demon flying at the beginning. I thought that guy was supposed to be the Devil himself, but it was really some other guy. I like how firmly and modestly he talks and how the best thing to do to not go to Hell is just to not be an a*shole. There is a lot of good humor in this.

[Balthor's Tales From Hell]

Congradulations!

This is your most popular submission on this website and it is fairly easy to understand why! I thought this was really cool and it had a lot of good jokes in it. I was not expecting for it to turn into a story as it seemed more along the lines of a short gag thing. The animation was pretty good in this one, considering the year it was made. It was kind of strange how I was expecting him to get what he wanted but he apparently got something worse. At least it ended with a pillow thrown by naked co-eds.

[Christ and AntiChrist 2]

Resurrect this!

The series has managed to improve, but it does not look like it intends to be one of your more popular series. It is funny that you have Ted Haggard on Christ's wall, as there was that infamous gay prostitute thing that happened. I now realize just how big their heads are. The animation is better, as I think it is a rare oppurtunity for you to use gore. This does seem like it should be longer and more of a punchline, but still good. I can recognize that guy on AntiChrist's wall as Anton LaVay the founder of the Church of Satan.

[Christ and AntiChrist 1]

Holy crap indeed!

I just think that it is pretty funny for someone to utilize that "Holy Crap!" phrase as a joke. I don't know why, but I was thinking this was going to be more of an action thing. I noticed how the blonde guy didn't look at all like Jesus who is when I think of when I think of "The Christ". I think that guy actually has one of the most unique voices that I have heard in a cartoon from you. The Holy Spirit does not appear much, so it is nice to see him (it?) being parodied. There really did need to be more jokes, though.

[Mr. Twitcho]

My left ball kinda hurts

This is another great cartoon from you, even though it did not have the great animation it used to. It was funny just to hear this guy think to himself over and over. A lot of us envision ourselves as this guy, who just keeps thinking the same negative things over and over. I think when it got fast, it could cause a seizure or something and I think they said "testing" while it was happening. I can just listen to the one liners all day and they can be funny in a number of scenarios. Like, "Is p*ss supposed to be that yellow?".

[Public Service Condom]

Pretty funny

I could tell that this did not promote abstinence, as there were a lot of ridiculous elements to it. I will say that this was one of your lesser entries, due to the animation. I look forward to seeing the exagerrated facial movements in your stuff, but this did not have any of that. Still, talking condoms are always funny, especially with his voice. It was also nice to see the STD names just flying on to the screen. Next time, I do recommend you have better animation and more action, although that is probably not what you were aiming for anyway.

[Televangelista]

Queef!

This is an underrated cartoon but at least it managed to win Daily 4th Place. I can really see the advancements in animation that you have put into your work. The lines on all of the characters are just so well made and they all flow together to make the picture. I was not offended by this much, as I have seen far worse. I liked how the televangelist's hair went up and how the angel Michael just disappeared. For of this silliness, it does have some philosophical points like when he turns into a mutant teddy bear.

[Gasalaska Makes a Friend]

I like the animation

I liked how this has a ridiculous laughtrack as a way of mocking the overuse of those things. It was cool with how the laughing stopped when the police officer was shot. I thought maybe you would use the laughing for dark humor, but you did not. I also thought he was going to shoot the bum, but instead he gave the gun to the bum. At first the carnage is not shown with the first murder, but you change by explictly showing it later. It is a pretty good example of showing variety in your work.
