Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Orphan: Part 2]

The animation was perfect

I don't remember the first one, but this is a fantastic addition to the site simply because of how sweet the effects were! Everything just seems to be done wonderfully and it has a great original feeling to it! My only complaint is that I would have liked it if there was some dialogue, even if it was just the guy talking to himself. I loved the scene at the end with that monster in the background. I was expecting a big screamer or something like that at the end. It's a very interesting and well crafted cartoon.

[( Intruder Alert )]

You are dead

It's very strange as out of all the reviews I have written, I have never written one for somebody who is dead. I can't talk directly to the author or expect a response ever as it is impossible to get one. This was really too short and did not have much going for it. The animation isn't terrible, but I prefer the longer stuff made by Livecorpse. I'm glad he just left so much work behind for us to look at and review. The music was nice in that it was pretty eerie even though the flash itself was kind of pointless.

[LR: Prelude]

Now that was weird

Call me silly, but it was really funny when that girl acted so dumb about being beat up and blood everywhere. She didn't change emotion the entire time, even when killing people. As this is a prelude, I guess she's going to turn out to be a robot or alien or something. I could swear that's Rina-chan doing her voice. Of course, if you go on Newgrounds long enough, you tend to think every female voice is done by Rina-chan. The action and animation were done in a very nice style and it was quite unpredictable.

[Sky of Colour]

Way above 3!

Every now and then, it's nice to watch a cartoon that is entirely experimental. I've seen many a flash that had no plot, and while not one of my favorites, this was still done quite well. I just wish there had been more variety in it, as I couldn't tell when I was supposed to be done watching. I think the best part is when the black blobs come in. I have looked at many a sky and realised that it's a great source of inspiration. Don't be offended if you're atheist, but I like to say that God is the greatest painter.

[The Creation of High Art]

It was educational

I had no idea this was something that you submitted for a class, as it seemed to be more on the joke side at first, but that's just some assumption I have. I think you make some really good points about the standard ways we deal with art. Flash cartoons themselves could be considered forms of art with subjectable variety. The animation was pretty funny, especially the political jokes and the White House running. As a prolific reviewer, this is something I think about when I review so many things. There are high ranking people who deem it great, but what we think of it is a matter of opinion.

[Space Goat - Episode 1]

Pretty funny

I could tell this wasn't your own audio, but I was surprised to find the entire thing was from another source. I hope you had a great Clock Day as well. The animation in this wasn't that great, but the cheesiness was probably part of the joke. I loved how the episode ended so quickly, with Space Goat doing absolutely nothing. All of the aliens and things he encountered with seemed to serve no purpose. If someone did make a show like that, I think that is in fact the number of people that would be used to make it.

[NG: Pivot Collab 2]

I prefer flash

I have never even heard of this style before and after watching it, I know why flash is more preferred. I would still recommend this on the grounds that it has significance in showing us what you can do in this Pivot thing. There were only stick figures being used, so it wasn't expanded much. It was still nice to see how the characters moved and looked different on that small screen. I also liked the showcase thing you put in with everybody. The stick action and gore was still pretty loyal to its original feel.

[Bits of Love]

Pretty good attempt

I can tell that this is your first attempt at flash as the art looks pretty rough. I do like it how it appears to be a pretty original setting and it has some really good music. It got better towards the end where it seemed like it was asking more of a philosophical question. I think the biggest fault is the animation which could use some shading. I did like how the characters all seemed to have different skin colors. The idea was a little simple, but by expanding more on personality and depth, you could make it better.

[You Been Cloggin' Long?]

Needs a lot of work

I think it was pretty funny just to show those two little kids do nothing but dance all day. I was impressed by the authentic country style music that was being used. The biggest fault this flash has is that it just needs to be longer. This seems more like it could have been used as part of a collab, rather than something made on its own. I would suggest using this for something like a Dailytoon feature. It needs to have more of a punchline, if there was even supposed to be one.
