Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[When Heroes Fall]

Better than I thought!

When I saw the loading screen, at first I thought it was going to be some artsy film about heroes in, say, WWII or something and how they fell. I was a bit disappointed to find out it was apparently just about stick figures and an eating contest. Then, I went back to being amazed at how well the story worked! You were definitly right, this was a great use of music. It really puts a lot of emotion into a story that might otherwise seem kind of silly. You came up with something pretty original and I congradulate you for that.

[LOST shorts #1]

Whatever

I thought this was pretty nicely done. At first, I thought the guy was talking in a different language, but then I was able to read the subtitles and (of course) understand what he was saying. "Lost" is one of my favorite shows and it's nice to make fun of its craziness. Seeing as how the island was on a ship, it was like "Lost in Space". Oh, wait a minute. There was already a show called "Lost in Space", which I don't think you were referencing anyway.

[Things Can Only Get Gayer]

Get down!

I really didn't find that as being particularly gay. While admittedly it could've been a lot longer, I just have to recommend this for the fantastic animation. You have given Newgrounds some of the most authentic and nicely done stuff out there. It also helps that I liked this song. Otacon himself was pretty funny in this, and the screen at the end was nice too. You're simply a guy who can't go wrong on this website or in anything else!

[Z]

Okay

I believe there's one for every letter of the alphabet and this may in fact be the last, seeing as how it's, well "Z". I really liked the loading screen. Zelda is drawn very well, and I was disappointed that we didn't see more of that in the actual movie. Still, the animation was goofy enough to be likeable. I especially like how you drew the fire. I guess you could say I'm a fan of the Clock Crew and it was nice at least to take a look into their history.

[the fart]

Farts?

I think that farts can be pretty funny, but this wasn't really a time. Yeah, I know this was in 2000, and flash was barely developed at that time, but it didn't really look like much effort was put into it. How ironic that this was made on September 11th, 2000. Anyway, I'm sure that with the modern things in flash, you could do much better if you work harder. The stick figures need to be better animated. It was also pretty short.

[Pencilmation #4]

Possibly your best yet!

I was very impressed by this! It's great to see how much you've improved after your previous animation! It helped that it was really nice to see the yellow paper for a change not to mention the blue ink by the pencil. I was also impressed at how this had much more of a story than a lot of the other ones. The gags were pretty funny as well. The best part was him taking control of the rain and lightning in the cloud.

[Pencilmation #3]

Not your best, but good

I've watched really all of your recent Pencilmation submissions, so it's only natural to go back to the earlier ones! I can tell that you've really improved over time. While these didn't have much of a story to begin with, I do see story later. The animation and style was very nice, and it had lots of funny moments. I think my favorite part would be the hands that hurt or helped a guy. I think the gag is, that they help or hurt a person every other time they're pushed.

[DE_dust2]

Great stuff!

I love how you say you don't want your videos on YouTube. That site really is taking away coverage from Newgrounds! Anyway, I was very impressed at the animation. It really came apart as being different than most stick flashes, especially with eyes and movement. The funniest part was probably the Britney Spears song parody. While I'm not your biggest fan (nor am I a fan of Counter Strike), I can definitley appreciate all of the work put into this.

[Making A Piranha Plant]

Great!

Upon first seeing the preview icon, I thought it was going to be stop-motion because of how realistic the plant looked. It's very cool how you started with that background and gradually showed how you did it. It would've been a bit better if you had actually shown some movement, but still something great. You obviously put a lot of effort and creativity into this project! Thanks for bringing it here to Newgrounds, as normally it's something you'd expect to see on YouTube. The choice of music was nice as well.
