Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[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.

[Simple Truths]

It had its moments

This wasn't terrible, but it needed a lot to improve on. I thought the transition effects were pretty nice, and I liked that Team Fortress 2 dude at the end (forgot his name). The music was okay. I thought that "Kenneth" was some opponent of Barrack Obama, but I guess he's an associate of yours who may have passed away? If so, I'm sorry for the loss of this Kenneth person, as he may have been important in your life. It just needed more action.

Smidly responds:

I appreciate your review and will refrain from mentioning genitalia

[Stenchu Stealth Shinobi]

Parody?

At first I was thinking this was about Naruto because I just associate the term "Shinobi" with that. I also thought the guy was based off of Kakashi, but it was apparently a different thing altogether. But I digress. I was impressed by the animation, especially when he was jumping and slicing at the angle taken from the front. I'm not familiar with the source material, but this didn't strike me as being that much of a parody. In fact, I think you're better off just doing action animations.

Rikimaru-Azlar responds:

Thanks Ericho. I see your' point.

[The Devil of New Haven]

Quite impressive

It's a pity that I wasn't able to view this before (or on) Halloween, but I can at least appreciate it now for what it is. I really enjoyed this movie as I didn't know what turns it was going to take. The ending is what really won me over, as I seriously didn't see that coming. The animation was also great, especially the eyes and the scarecrow's, er, tentacles. The voice work wasn't too bad as well. I hope you had a good Halloween.

Marsume responds:

Awesome! Im glad I could make it so you didn't know what was gunna happen up until the very end.
Thanks for the review :)

[Mug Hug]

Nice coffee

Well, I was very much impressed by the animation in this, especially with how it may have only shown generic places, but still executed well! It's nice to know that everything worked out and the coffee mug got what it wanted. The music and voices were funny and at the same time emotional, fitting the theme. What exactly was that brown guy supposed to be? He looks like he may be a woodchuck or hedgehog or something. All in all, a very nice flash that I'm glad I saw.

[Kids These Days]

Hmm, not bad at all

I was hoping for something longer, but this still worked well with what it had. The animation was very nice, and of course you're always good at this. Was the dialogue taken from another source? I don't think that was in the song. But anyway, at least you had a good punchline about reaching out to the elderly, and mocking our youth (although I couldn't really tell if that was a satire about how people are mad at other people for liking the Jonas Brothers). It's nice it ended with old people bowel problems.

[Odysseus Am Legend.]

First try

While I didn't like this movie much, I will have to give you credit for it being your first try. There's the fact that you used that awesome music and showed an extended version of it that really won me over. Let me just say welcome to Newgrounds! There's a lot of room for improvement though. First, you need to make your work longer and have more action. Second, there should be a bit better animation like with more emphasis on color and it wouldn't be nice to throw in some voice work. I'm happy to join!

[WH40K Collab]

Wow!

I've been a huge fan of popular franchises, but one that kept appearing over and over again was this "Warhammer 40k". I hadn't seen any YouTube videos or really any popular Newgrounds stuff on it, but it kept appearing on the TVTropes website. It would just be so nice to see a collab about it. Thank you everyone, for fulfilling my dream! This is the first WH40K collab I have ever seen, and it's great to be introduced to (for me) a whole new setting and a huge cast of characters and jokes.

[Willy Wonka harsh reality]

Very funny

I like how you use the title "harsh reality" to really go into the deconstructive nature. I also loved the animation, especially how Charlie ran and looked so stupid. The use of audio was nicely done as well, especially that crazy "Candyman" stuff. It was also funny when he threw the candy bar. It was unexpected how originally it was just a fantasy and then you went for a pediphiliac joke. You really know how to keep a joke going as long as it needs to.
