Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Family Values ep1 part1]

Not bad at all

While I didn't think this was funny, I admit that it had its good points, or at least its enjoyable points. The CGI was interesting, if only because it was funny in a really dumb way. I liked how the characters moved and how the skeleton reformed. The dialogue was a little hard to understand, but it wasn't terrible. I think that with more plot, better animation and voice work, this could be something really popular. I mean, it certainly is an idea I haven't seen on this site before.

[Wash, Seth and Dry]

Short, but good

I'm used to seeing stuff like zebras or video games from you, but this was alright. It is interesting to see the different tones you can set in your flashes. I was particularly impressed by the animation and felt it was something you really came up with on your own. I couldn't tell what this was going to be about because of the "Seth" title. I know of course realize it was about the Egyptian god, Seth. He just looks really cool waving his stick and all, even if it could have been longer.

[Press Start: Crossing]

Not bad

I was impressed at how you managed to keep the humor going for that long. It was especially funny to hear the dumb dragord guy talk in that stupid voice. The funniest part (or at least best) was probably when the "Portal" thing shot itself. The animation wasn't supposed to be great, as it's probably more in the "South Park" range. It was also cool when the ninja mentioned using the dragon aorta as a flute. That is one of the most original things I have ever seen!

[Charcoalmation]

Dumb?

I don't know why you would think this was dumb, as it was done really well! While it may not have had much of a story, the artwork was some of the best of that type I'd seen! I guess I was looking for something a bit more complicated with more guys around, you know? It may in fact be the first stop-motion animation I've seen that used charcoal before. The music was very nice and fitting as well. It was really cool to see everything flow together especially when it is presented on old contruction paper.

Captain responds:

Yeah the art was very simple and not really challenging, but that was the reason why i stuck to basically stick figures and squiggles. This was the first big animation project that I decided to tackle so I kept it easy to draw so I can really get a feel for it.

[problem to society]

Not terrible

Well, the animation wasn't anything particularly good or bad. I really couldn't understand the words at all and you really should find a way to reduce static. I'm guilty of this myself in my own YouTube videos, and I don't know how to reduce it anyway. I think that it really went on too long and I couldn't understand the plot anyway. Still, I guess you did put in a lot of effort into this. Next time, you should really put in more action and not just talk over and over.

JohnnySkul responds:

Yea, i found a way to make the qudio better but the thing was for ever 10 seconds for the audio was about 2 mega bites so i gotta find a way to do this. It really sucks bro.

[On The Moon (episode 17)]

Woah, the best yet!

At first I thought this was going to ignore the black hole problem the previous entry had, but it didn't! I also have to say that the knock-knock joke (or lack of) at the beginning was probably some of the funniest stuff you've ever made! The animation is very interesting as always. I honestly wasn't expecting to see cows, but dang it, it's a good idea to use cows to make something funny! The voice work was as nice as ever. It's some of your best non-sequitor stuff and proof that I'm a fan of your work.

[Mech Cops PSA II]

Woah, nice!

I wasn't quite sure what this was leading up to, but it was funny to see the conclusion. The animation was very impressive, especially the way the robots looked. Or should I say, how the guys looked when they put on their robot suits. It was actually kind of funny to see the lady get beat up. I also liked the music at the beginning and I could've sworn you were going to play that "Mr. Sandman, Bring Me A Treat" song. The sound effects throughout the entire thing were nice as well.

[Alfred's Playhouse Pt. 3]

AWESOME!!

Well, I didn't think it was physically possible, but you managed to make something I would give a 10 to! This is a huge improvement over the last entry and the best I've ever seen from you! As strange as this may sound, I'm actually understanding the story a lot more and what this whole thing is about. The animation is also spectacular, especially with how the characters move around. This works great as a David Lynch cartoon with dogs. The absurdity of it all transforms it into a true work of art!

[Advent of Sock]

Awesome stuff

That orange looked sort of like a tiger head. That thing was pretty cute in addition to being pretty psychotic as well. Anyway, the animation (it looked like stop-motion on textbook paper or some construction paper) was flawless as usual. It was cool to see the red lights turn into some neo-pagan symbol as made by the tiger head. The color was done very nicely as well as it gave everything a good amount of depth. I don't understand anything in this as usual, but that's just fine.

[Eddsworld Vs Cahj]

Great stuff!

4:26? I felt as though it was on a lot longer than that. Anyway, I was very impressed by this and while I have no idea who Cahj is (I assume they're another group of cartoonists like eddworld) this was awesome! It helped that you used the theme song from "Naruto", which is some truly awesome music. I was also impressed by the animation, especially with the characters fighting. I'm a big fan of eddsworld and although I can't remember the character's names, it was great to see them all. The toaster turning into a robot was cool too.

Lazyfeet responds:

Yeah, it's only the second episode of CAHJ so hopefully we'll become better known. I was inspired by the Naruto intro. It was absolutely badass.

Hehe. I want a transformer toaster. It's not fair!
