Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[No Brainer]

Yeah, Explosm!

I have always been a fan of these Explosm cartoons even if I didn't find one that was good enough to favorite. It's a little hard to appreciate something so short with just one punchline. This is no way means it can't be executed well, as you have proven. I really like the animation, and I think you have made added a whole new dimension to stick figures (or guys with stick limbs at least). It was at its funniest when the dumb guy was driving and falling off the building. I thought "South Park" was the only place I would hear a character be called "Mr. Mackey".

[No Robbers]

Very funny stuff

The animation itself wasn't the best, but it definitley had its merits. Even though it was one punchline, it helps that the single punchline is so freaking funny. It reminds me of how people are saying we should make our gun laws flexible. If a shooter goes somewhere and it says, "No guns allowed" it probably isn't going to do much. It's nice how this analogy can be applied to other criminal related activity. I know this wasn't meant to be a political statement, but it was funny nonetheless.

[r0ots]

One of the best short things

I love how you say you intended this to have lousy animation so I wasn't expecting much. I just like the idea of a classic Newgrounds flash being shown in an actual theater, or a remake in these case. I was in fact thinking the same thing, at least about the red color of the "B". It's just so funny to see how something so simple that has become so popular still has many things that people can complain about. It's great as a saite on fandom in general.The end with the steak clock blowing a guy up made it worthwhile.

[Pico Grows a Moustache]

Nice head

Judging from the ridiculous title, I just had the feeling that this wasn't going to be very long. It was a pretty enjoyable thing to watch, if only for the art shift where Pico was made at Nene. I also thought it was cool to include that song at the end. An ordinary guy would've ended with Pico getting his head cut off. Showing the extra effort by having him throw his head (and I guess they both die) was very nice. While I'm way off, I can at least say Happy Pico Day and a Merry Christmas to you this season!

[GLaDos Badass]

Very stylistic

I wasn't expecting much as first, as the title just seemed so random. I am glad that you turned this into a pretty flashy song, even if it didn't seem to have any story or anything. I was especially impressed by the different things that showed up in this. While the song may not be the best, it makes up for that in animation. I like how this was just a flashy experimental film showing all the themes related to "Portal" you could make. I was waiting for that cake to come with the caption that it was a lie.

[WOW for reflections]

Quite interesting

At first I was expecting this to use your robot character from other stuff, but apparently I was wrong. Then I realized I was right, even though he wasn't the focus of the cartoon. I thought the guy looked a lot like someone from an Egoraptor thing. Anyway, this had some pretty good things in its own right. I like the designs, especially that of the big monster. I was a bit disappointed that this wasn't longer and it didn't have great action scenes, but it was not bad at all.

vezanmatics responds:

well thanks. it was for a small school contest (which explains the lack of a good action sequence) , but it got a lot further than i expected it to go and i thought it was worth posting.

[Ancient ChineseStorytime2]

Ancient Chinese secret, huh?

I was not impressed at how it was really only one image, but it was a colorful one. I guess this did have a lot of funny moments like mentioning the character was a Christian or something like that. It was also funny when he mentioned Confucius wasn't born yet either. I don't know that much about Chinese history, but it sounds like you did your research. If you did this with a better voice and with movement, I would have liked this better. It wasn't terrible; it just had many areas to improve on.

[Pencilmation 11]

Very different!

I was a little disappointed this didn't use more of the nature of drawing things everywhere, but it was great! It really helps that this is the entry with more variety and designs than anything else. It is like you are taking on a new art form and it seems to work well for you. I like it how you also tried to send a good political message. It might seem silly to be preachy, but at least you ended with the house about to be burned down (lol). You are really coming up with different ideas in this series.

[Cat Vader]

AWESOME!!!

It helps that I'm a huge fan of cats and "Star Wars" so combining the two would create something awesome! What I love is that it looks like something that could be made in 2000 with the animation. This isn't an insult; it is a demonstration on how you can something fantastic despite not having the flashiest effects. I just loved how the cat's voice sounded. I thought it was odd how Cat Vader was after a frog, as those are about the only kinds of animals cats won't eat. I have seen my cat go after geckos, so I wouldn't be surprised if they did go after frogs.

You have created something on standard with any other great cat video, if not the best one on Newgrounds. It is nothing but cuteness from start to finish and that is all it needs. I love the lines fit the cat and Star Wars themes.
