Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Dance Off!]

Animation is great

It was a pretty weird thing to watch, but you made up for it for just being so cool. I didn't even know that was part of the entire song (meaning I thought they were separate songs). It just helps that the animation is so slick and everything fits together well. That one guy with the sharp teeth reminded me of Suigetsu from "Naruto". I especially like how the main character is just such a positive and likeable character. You only see him for about three minutes, but you get a great impression of him.

I love it!

I am so glad to be introduced to the style of your work, as it is simply flawless! What really stands this apart from a lot of other stuff is how great the animation is. It seems like someone trying to write a Gorillaz comic book or something. Speaking of music, it also did a great job of making appropriate music. I just loved the shading, character designs, and everything else that just made this thing so beautiful! It's an original style and everything about it is creative and completely unpredictable.

[Cooking (bocodamondo)]

It wasn't bad

It's nice of you to acknowledge in your description that this is an amateur work. That being known, you really could use work to brush up on the animation. The story wasn't terrible, but I felt it could have been a bit more creative and have more punchlines. I am quite impressed you managed to get so many Newgrounds celebrities to work for you! I guess it's nice so many people want to help someone who's raising in his fame. I would know a thing about that, and I hope you get better from here!

[I Love My Bed]

How soft

This is a pretty unique cartoon in that it doesn't try at any point to be fast paced. Thank you for introducing me to this song, as it does seem to be a pretty good song. I was thinking about my own bed as I watching this, and how important it is to me. The animation could've used some work, but it's such a pleasant atmosphere you tend to not notice. While it did use bears, it works nicely as a realistic representation of life. I thought it was just cute all around, especially with the kid bear.

[demoReel 2009]

It's very unique

I'm always a fan of demo reels, simply because it's a great way for us to look back on all the things we've done in the past year or so. I'm not a fan of yours, so I am not familiar with any of the animations/games used in this. There seems to be a lot of variety though, especially with that old guy game. It looks like some of your influences were people like Dan Paladin. I did indeed clap at the end just like I was told. Of course, you couldn't tell if I had, but it's a nice thought at least.

[Vete a la Versh 11]

Quite funny

I think this may in fact be the best thing you have made yet, because of the delivery. The best part was the punchline about becoming a business manager. I'm so glad I have become more and more familiar with your work so I can appreciate it more. I thought the girl holding the little white toy was cute. It works well as being metafictional, with the white guy talking about the story he's in. Now that I have gotten used to the Spanish, I can say I think the voice work is pretty good.

[BB gun fight]

It was unique

This is one of those cartoons where I couldn't really find anything particularly good or bad about it. You read my mind as I was wondering what that guy's ethnicity was. I think it's pretty interesting you at least somewhat based this on a true story. The animation was pretty rough; the best part was probably the cop's design. I would recommend making something like working on the color effects, which are a weak spot. It was a little hard to follow, meaning it could have had some funnier stuff.

[Megaman: The Return...]

Like, wow!

I honestly thought it was going to end with the "Continue" but it was only half done! It was kind of weird how Fawful was there on the loading screen, but not in the actual cartoon. It's interesting to see how epic a fight it was despite being a pretty small picture. I honestly had no clue what was going to happen next, especially with that weird dragon thing. It seemed as though Megaman just left one of the little girls screaming for help behind. I thought it was also pretty funny and random with the blocks suddenly appearing and disappearing.

[The Faces Of Newgrounds]

Lots of faces!

I really should have thought you would have the names of the people written down as they are shown instead of showing them at the end. I mean, it's hard to keep up with everybody there. It was of course nice to see all of the website's most popular users looking really silly. I admit it was really cool how you managed to get so many people to do this! As for the song, I haven't heard it before and it is a pretty good song. I just wish there could have been more action or something.

[tell us the SECRET!!!]

It was okay

I like this sort of, simply because it's so easy to look at. It's the kind of thing where you don't need to listen to the sound (although the sound is pretty funny). I noticed how the toilet doesn't seem to have a toilet tank on it. Toilet humor can be funny, but it would have been a lot nicer if it had been more than just a few frames. You still managed to make this probably the most fun I had with a loop this short. The characters are all drawn pretty authentically to the style of "Madness Combat".
