Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[States of mood]

I like it a lot!

At first, I wasn't expecting much as all, but with the image on the loading screen, I knew it would be something I liked! The animation was simply superb in this. I'm still sad that I don't understand anything that was sad despite taking Spanish class! At least I was able to apreciate the use of dark outlines. It works well as an angsty story, even if it was a bit hard to follow. You obviously have a lot of talent and I look forward to more of your stuff.

[Nothing Between]

Uh, weird

I guess this was supposed to be really philosophical, but I couldn't understand it really. I guess the effects were pretty good and I liked how you put those quotes at the bottom. Some of them were pretty interesting, if hard to follow through. I suggest that next time, you use music that isn't so annoying. I guess it turned out to be just fine for its length. I like your views, but you need to have more action and more philosphical points.

This wasn't "supposed" to be philosophical or anything else, really. The fact that you think I had intended for this to mean or be anything, though, says more about you and the effect it had on you than it does about my intentions.

[Do Not Feed The Alligator]

It works

Another flash that is brief but still manages to work well with its single punchline. I really liked the animation in this, especially with how the guy's lips were moving and he was crying. I couldn't even understand what that alligator was saying anyway. While I was kind of expecting it to attack him, I was surprised he didn't kill him. He just made him feeling sad or something like that. Alligators would be offended if someone threw ice cream on them, you know.

[Castlevania 2 ( GGT )]

Nicely done

Gosh, I'm such a nerd. I was looking at the captions the whole time and kept noticing how it didn't go along with what they were saying. Anyway, I enjoyed this. I guess it's just kind of weird to see the characters like that, you know with the removal of the dark outlines, but at least it has good action scenes. I don't know why Superman was there (he wasn't even a sprite) but the joke made up for it. I wasn't sure if you were doing a parody of Castlevania 2 or if this was the second in the series. I looked over and now I know this was the latter.

[How to Recognize Aliens]

Excellent short

I'm a big fan of your stuff and this was of course no exception. Sure, it was pretty short (as you yourself mention) but the way it delivers its punchline (or anti-humor) is absolutely flawless. The animation was always good as always. It was also funny to hear the Wilhelm scream yet again. It's funny to really deconstruct just how a joke works and how unfunny it can be in its delivery. I would totally think a guy like that was an alien.

[Phage THX trailer]

Good animation!

For a trailer, this was quite impressive. I'm not used to seeing CGI here on Newgrounds, and it's a real treat whenever I do see it. While there wasn't much going on, it's obvious you're good at this sort of thing. If you're planning on making this into a movie, or at least a movie on NG with full CGI, I'd be very interested to seeing it. It was cool and funny how that whatever-it-was changed into whatever. It's absurdity that makes this site great.

[Evil Cup Man (Trailer)]

Not too bad

For anyone wondering, the salt said, "Now More Salty", the flour said, "Just Add Water" and the box of fish said, "New - Boxed Fish". It's cool to look at an old flash that managed to be popular even when it didn't win any awards. At first I thought this was going to be about the kind of cup you wear when playing sports. Geez, has my mind become dirty from the Internet. At least I didn't think about teabags in that sense. I liked the animation and voice work, especially how the tea cup jumped up.
