Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[DAY JOB episode 2]

Wow, I really am growing to like this series. I loved seeing that live-action bit at the end. I liked seeing how down to earth it really was. You almost never get that kind of stuff here. The jokes really did go on and on here. I liked how the caller was supportive.

It still didn't work out, though. The voices were nice too. We can all sympathize with people like this guy. I'm glad I have a steady job. This will be a great series.

[Steve's Ultimate Crash Out]

Oh wow, this was awesome. I'm so amazed by how you used the clips so well. I have heard a lot about this movie. It only figures we'd get some stuff here about it. My favorite part was how I got to hear a lot of these audio clips in full context. Well, at least more context than I expected.

I've heard these being used in Spongebob parodies. For some reason, Tenacious D was just popular with these. Steve can indeed get crazy. This was just so appropriate. The animation fit so well too.

[NWAR: Cemetery Plot]

I was trying to keep up with the number of puns in this cartoon. I think I found 19. That's roughly three per minute. Some jokes weren't puns, they were just jokes. This was truly rapid fire comedy. It was like rapid fire from a gun. See, I'm trying too.

I could go on and on about all the jokes in this. It does bring up an interesting story. The story is still pretty well set up. I love how everyone just plays it straight. A straight line that's linear.

[Careful What You Fish For]

I had no idea it was going to go like that. I thought the wedding thing was happening in real time. I thought something really bad was going to happen to him. Well, he was really bored. Dang, I am starting to like muscular women. Her voice was hilarious.

This just had so much energy to it. It just seemed like it was the perfect length too. I'm glad he made it out okay. The emotions and facial expressions were so strong. I'd still be attracted to her.

[Shifting Sorcery]

I like the look of that succubus. Yes, it's because she's made to look hot. I really didn't think this was too good. I wanted more action. I do like how it's animated. It reminds me of those old games.

I don't even think I ever played them. I think the voices are pretty appropriate. It seems like a lot of characters in magical settings have "Worm" in their names. I kind of feel bad for that brick in the wall. You can tell he's lonely.

[An Overlord's Day - Technofeudalism 2040]

Wow, another cartoon like this. Yeah, it's the same as the last one. The loop works great, but I hate this format. It just looks annoying. I like how this guy looks naked. I can't see anything near his crotch, though.

I like those shoes and socks he has on. He seems to have a gold body. We don't see much Cyberpunk stuff here either. I like how he talks. It's goofy and full of energy.

vezanmatics responds:

He's a golden god with socks and crocs and invisible pp!!!

The vibe took a little refining as I was working on him, at first he was a little god-emperor Patrick Bateman until I realized he should come across as way more of a repulsive dork.

[A Serf's Day - Technofeudalism 2040]

Aww, that was quite clever indeed. The best part was how well it works as a loop. I will admit I don't like this format. I want the whole screen to be covered. Anyway, this had some good animation. I really do like the concept.

I think "Futurama" already did the ads in dreams thing too. I love that robotic design. Rather, that robotic spinal cord. It fits the tone of the cartoon. We should have more dystopian stuff here.

vezanmatics responds:

I always like seeing your reviews Ericho, I've never seen a lazy one. The mobile format thing was something I tried on for size bc I wanted to hit people with this right as they're scrolling on whatever app they can't put down. Reach the most amount of people in order to make them uncomfortable, see. It seemed to work too, I got a lot of people commenting that this motivated them to put away their phones for the day. So mission accomplished! I made art!

And yea the dream ads thing was inspired by an old Futurama joke that stuck with me bc it creeped me out, I guess many people haven't seen it.

[I HATE CINTIQS]

I liked this, but didn't think it was great. It was good to see this great animation. It did seem like the sound could have been better. It was too low. I still appreciate how it is kind of informative. I liked seeing those images in his head, especially the brain one.

Well, it figures the brain one would be in his head. Was that purple guy supposed to be Thanos? Maybe this could have used backgrounds. That wasn't really the point. This was still pretty interesting.

[Friday Night Funkin' [anim/edit idk]]

Wow, I have to admit that I wasn't expecting very much in this. The best part was how vintage it looked. It wasn't quite VHS quality. That's a new kind of old! I'm not really the biggest fan of the original game. This was a very authentic way of showing it.

It's weird how I like the imitations more than the game. It captures the spirit of the original more than the original did! I am glad this became so popular. I thought not much would happen in something so short. I'm glad I was wrong!
