Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Cthoolou]

Great one!

I think this is my favorite submission from you that did not win a single award. I am surprised it did not, as it is a very intelligent look at gods or religion or whatever. I love how the conversation dwindled off into irrelevant things like H. P. Lovecraft works. Then, it managed to get into more philosophical things like religious wars. The designs are all quite interesting, even if there is not much action. It is funny to just see these guys try to figure out what is going on with everything.

[Arnie the Saviour]

George W. Bush looks so stupid

Being a YouTube Poop fan, I could tell that you were taking dialogue and showing it backwards. I loved how idiotic George W. Bush looked when he was just flying in the backgroud. You had a decent commentary in which you mentioned how much you liked politics. The funniest was the remark about the porn star, whom is named Mary Carey, BTW. It was nice to see satire of Arnold Schwarzeneggar running for a bit of nostalgia. You only got more stuff to make when Arnold actually won.

[A Satanic Message]

How satanic

It looks as though Satan has gone through some character design, as I notice he is quite different than the other appearances. It was a little unpleasant with how there was not much going on. Your Hell jokes are good, but I feel they need to be expressed in a more visual manner. Of course, with the stuff you described, that would probably be better off without showing. At least you use the same techniques and humor as in your other stuff. I liked how his head seemed to move from side to side.

[Charlie and Vinnie]

Very funny

I do not know why, but something about this cartoon just came off as really funny to me. I noticed that one of the takes was "69" and the take wasn't even about sexual stuff! I like how there is just no explanation given for this guy's split personality. I really should have known that Hell and the Devil would make an appearance in this. The way this guy just acts so angry and so stupid at the same time is so funny. Everything that was extremely cheesy about it made it hilarious.

[Simulated drunk]

Not terrible

I think this is perhaps another one of your lesser works due to the fact that not much happens at all. I understood that it was basically the same environment over and over. At first I was disappointed to find that you couldn't click on any of the things there to make him talk. It would be funny if it had happened, but it just seemed to be too generic. This was still an early work for you and you get better later on. I am going to turn 21 this year, so I hope I do not turn out like this guy at all really.

[malachi the telekinetic]

This was okay

It was a pretty mediocre flash to watch, as far as they go. What boosts it is that the animation is still as good as ever, and I really like Malachi's mouth and how his grin sort of fades off. There were certainly a lot of weird shows we used to watch, so it was interesting to mention that at the beginning. The main problem with this is that there is just no enough material to work with. It seemed kind of predictable, and I knew there would be exploding heads. Not that I have a problem with that, as I love exploding heads.

[nightmare :<>]

Quite unpredictable

Well, I have to admit that that was a pretty underwhelming climax, but I still have to give you points for being original. I had no idea that was going to happen and it was a pretty funny clip to use. What works is that you use the same awesome animation as usual. I noticed that one of the symbols above the screen was a pokeball. There area lot of surreal flashes going around. It was kind of neat to have a surreal flash that did not even seem to be open to surrealness as it ended so abruptly.

[A Tale of Horny Horror]

Very original

I have to admit that making the girls from "Girls Gone Wild" evil is an extremely original idea. This is weird because the creator, Joe Francis, was actually imprisoned in my home town, Panama City. I really enjoyed the animation that was used in this one. These GGW girls are pretty skilled looking, and they can do so many things with their boobs. You really manage to put depth into your character for what little time he existed. Big breasted women can never go wrong, except for now.

[Jesus and the Bunny]

I'm surprised it's this low

How ironic that I would watch this just around Easter, I was not even trying to do that! At first I thought that Jesus was supposed to be chocolate, as he certainly looked that way. It was pretty funny when everything exploded when you were about to mention Muhammad. It was funny how the different body fluids made up the Easter egg. Easter seems to have such weird traditions, so it would only be fitting everyone would have their own take on this. I am glad this at least got to be in the Easter collection.

[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.
