Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Oscar Tribute Part 2]

A great tribute!

I first thought that this was going to be a tribute to the Oscar awards or something. I see tributes to things like Madness Combat and the Clock Crew, but this is something new. You had all the good action of the original series, and put in your own stuff. It was cool how you just seemed to throw in the colored guys. You had no idea what was going on, because you didn't know it was going to follow the original style so well. You even managed to put a storyline into this too.

[MEDI CALL ad parody]

A loop

It never gets old to make fun of that "I've fallen and I can't get up!" commercial. I was expecting this to be a satiration of the health care plan that people say is going to kill old people. While this may not be the most socially relevant, it's still funny. The funniest of the bunch is probably the guy who's butt is on fire. The animation wasn't terrible, but it does kind of seem like it could use some improvement. It was also funny as the guy just looked around with the dumb old people in the background.

[mr.frog]

Cute frog

That didn't have as much action or anything that a lot of other submissions had, but it was good. It works because the music is just so nice and it fits the atmosphere well. You really have no idea where it is going, especially with the picture of the frog boy being whipped. It helps that while the character doesn't have much depth, he's just drawn in a nice way. I was almost thinking this was another submission called "little frog". Frogs just seem to be popular enough on Newgrounds to get their own section.

[Happy Bloody Holidays]

It's pretty colorful

It seems like a lot of Christmas flashes have people dressed as Santa being shot. It's nice to know that you decide not to go and kill the actual Santa. Not that Santa is real anyway, so it doesn't really matter. It's also funny to see how a BB gun can kill a guy, but I'm not going to place logic in a Newgrounds cartoon. The animation was pretty nice, and it wasn't the most elaborate thing I have seen, but still nice. It's still bad it's way beyond Christmas, but let's hope you have a happy one in 2010.

["lights out"]

That was pretty nice

It's always interesting to take a look at what people have done, as you seem to be new to me. I really liked that flicker in and out "Replay" at the end. The animation was pretty good, but I should remember that this is a pretty old submission by today's standards. As for the song, I have never heard of a group called "Spermbirds" before. The music isn't great, but it does seem to be pretty good. It is neat that this was made in a mere 3 days, as it looks like it took longer.

[A tricky animation]

I like that clown!

This is one of the better Madness flashes, simply because it gives spotlight to the character Tricky The Clown more than anything else. For being such an important force in the series, you really don't get to see him kill many people. I loved the stock footage and references to the other Madness cartoons. It was funny to see the big guy there (he sure is becoming popular, you know). The stinger with the fire guy was just the icing on the cake. The animation was flawless and the things you could do were very funny as well.
