Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Sketched - Souvenirs]

Butter?

Well, I'm not the biggest fan of "Sketched" but I can at least say I'm glad to write my first review of a cartoon. I like this a lot, and I think you speak a lot of truth by saying people are obsessed with slogans. I have no clue what that "butter" thing means anyway, but I'd probably be interested in buying a T-shirt of it anyway. You really don't see a lot of stuff featuring talking souvenirs, so I praise you for originality. I go into those things all the time and I do in fact look more at the novelty items than clothes anyway. Heck, I would buy one of those things!

[Dr. Mario with Lyrics]

Great stuff!

At first I thought this was imitating Egoraptor, but this really did have a style of its own! Thanks for the warning about Wario's ass and Mario's nipples. That probably was the most unpleasant part of the cartoon. Anyway, I really liked how you used a green outline for Mario and you even used outlines that suited each of the individual characters. I'm not a fan of Dr. Mario, so I really don't understand the jokes much, but I can appreciate the catchy song at least. The body movements (especially the end) were done nicely too.

[SW GangstaRap: Chronicles]

YOU'RE BACK!!

I hadn't seen new stuff from you in a whopping four years! The Star Wars Gangsta Rap video was my favorite piece of work from you, and it's great to see a followup! I was especially impressed at how the body movements have improved. I liked how the character's hands moved, but I was disappointed to find out that this was only a preview.

I just saw the full version on the website, so now I can give a fuller review of it. I thought this was probably better than the original, as it featured a lot more characters and a lot more action of course. Why did you not submit the full version here?

Glad you liked it ;) But please read my author's comments for explanation. Thanks.

[Make Snacks not War]

Quite impressive

It was short, obviously, but it was supposed to be, because it was a shot at a TV commercial. I hope you won as this was well done. Sure, it was nowhere near on the level like stuff as "Tarboy" but it was pretty cute. I especially like the way the characters are animated, with their face and body expressions. It was also cool to hear that "Wahoo!" every time you touched the guy at the "Replay" screen. I am in fact a huge fan of Doritos.

[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.

ageReason responds:

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.
