Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[WHATS A GEM LICKER?]

I am learning these characters' names. Granted, that's only because I say them. They're talking about cobalts, right? Kimmy is still the funniest character. Or is her name Kemmy? Whatever, the animation is pretty good and it's really funny.

The goofy voices are what make this. You really do get the sense that these guys are casually talking. It's serious stuff, but they do about it in fairly light terms. The characters just seem so active. Kimmy probably gets the best lines with the golems at the end.

[Snow (Hey Oh)]

I found this to be pretty enjoyable. It wasn't one of my favorite music videos, but it was good. The best parts were the bits with the stick figures. I thought that was someone else doing that. That really doesn't seem like your animation style. Whatever, it was nice.

I guess I'm not that familiar with Red Hot Chili Peppers. This seems like a song I've never heard of before. I've never heard of a song titled "Snow" before. I suppose it was unique in that sense. You have experimented.

[Albi, the racist dragon]

Wow, this was better than I thought. I know I've heard the song done other times. I think there are other versions on this own website. I really wasn't expecting Albi to not be racist. I mean, this was subverting every other nice thing out there! I really did find that heartwarming.

The animation was quite good. The colors worked so well. Albi sounds like a good name. These guy's voices are quite nice. The length is great too.

[Toast! Episode 1]

Uh, I'm not sure what I just watched. I didn't mean that in a good way. I mean, why is there a piece of toast on a mouse trap? I don't think mice are attracted to toast. The animation wasn't bad. What was even the problem these two had?

Did the mouse ever die? It just needed a lot more of a plot. It also seemed too sort to have Scene Selection. Well, I guess it's your choice. It was just a weird choice for me.

[Battalion 7 - Theme Song]

This wasn't bad. I admit that I'm not into this series that much. I still wasn't bad. The lines and colors are quite nicely done. I am glad to get to know these characters. Granted, I'll probably never review a flash with them again. It's fine for what it should be.

These names are pretty distinct. "Radar" was a character from M*A*S*H. Is that an occupation in the army? I didn't watch that show at all. Your fans should like this.

[The Survivor]

I had no idea this would be yet another "Street Fighter" and "Mortal Kombat" crossover. It didn't seem like anything special at first. Even the coloring seemed off. It ended up being amazing! It was just nothing but nonstop action after the first talking parts. You show great choreography. I was afraid Akuma killed them all at first.

Well, he does kill most of them eventually. It's amazing how fast paced this is. It seems to end too quickly. Well, you'd go insane adding action to that. A great underappreciated cartoon!

[The Dead's Locomotion]

I found this to be just mediocre. The main problem was that the animation wasn't very good. It seemed to drag on. Were the actors to close to the microphone? The voice acting seemed rough too. There should have been shading.

I guess it was at least kind of different. The animation was its own style. It seemed to move too slow. I have seen a lot better. I always want to see stuff with zombies.

Yep this was pretty weak film of mine, I made it back in high-school and have gotten a lot better with flash since then.

[Game grumps: LADY MARIAA]

I don't recall watching Game Grumps. Well, I probably saw one or two of them on this website. Maybe it was just something related to them. I might have seen them elsewhere and just forgotten. The voices are so funny. I don't even mind not being a fan of Game Grumps.

It's just nice to see your slick animation. There's so much going on here too. There's just so much fun in this. Yes, it was worth it to see Lady Maria. I wish I knew who that was.

[Soma Holiday]

I don't know much about the Smashing Pumpkins. With that being said, I still loved this! It was easily the most serious thing you've ever done. As you're a prolific cartoonist, I'm glad you tried something new. I personally didn't love the song. I just love what you did with it.

It has a nice spiritual vibe to it. I really like the colors. The best parts are the little explosions. I was tired of your stuff looking the same. I did not recognize your style at first.

[Rush Howa]

This was just too weird. I mean, I've seen tons of weird stuff, but this just seemed pointless. It was trying to be too realistic. I didn't know what was going on. Why would there be water from an iron? Maybe to justify the guy on fire?

Do iron and fire rhyme? This just seemed to not have to do with anything. I guess it was a little unique. It just wasn't interesting. Uh, Happy Father's Day?
