Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Lazy Writing 9]

I really liked this, because I had no idea where it was going. It seems like you've made more than nine of these. I appreciate how it just goes on and on at the end. I knew he was going to show his wound. That's quite disgusting that they wanted to show him. Hobos aren't like homeless people.

They just change jobs. I would know because I come from a town that's all about hobos. I think my favorite part was when he acknowledged that there were already cameras there. Hidden shows will do any sick thing nowadays. The voices were spot on too.

[Mario tells the Truth]

I think I can understand why a c*ck would look like a mushroom. Anyway, I think this is great satire. What also helps is that the animation is so freaking gorgeous in this. I recognize the voice actor (you?) and it's hilarious. I love how it randomly flashes to some "real" parts. It isn't true that mushroom powerups were inspired by drugs.

It's cool how their shirts never change their design. It's nice how earnest Mario is. I even think it's funny how you mention water in the sky in the next Mario game. I guess it makes as much sense as anything else in the Mario world. This was fun to watch.

[Stickmen Fails!]

I couldn't find much humor in this. Really, I couldn't find much of anything in this. I think it looks like it was made years ago, which really hurt its quality. It just seemed like you were referencing old memes, like This is Sparta! Then again, there is a sequel coming out. The animation isn't impressive either.

The sounds and voicework weren't bad, I suppose. It does seem like you may have some trouble with the mike. I admit that it is somewhat unpredictable. It just doesn't lead up to any great payoff. Congradulations on getting such a high rating.

[Birthday 22]

I thought it was very interesting to get a glimpse into your personal life. I envy you. While it's true I have a job myself, I am not paying rent or anything and still living with my parents. My brother's even worse, but I don't think I'll get into personal details too much. The animation was as good as ever. I like how you randomly break into a rap.

It sort of fits your random cartoons. I think I can remember the other birthday cartoons you made. I myself am 24, and hope to be as successful as you in whatever way I can. One of your paintings looks like a swatiska. I doubt it, because of where you're from.

[Guards]

Woah, I had no clue this was going to be so awesome! It just seemed like typical stuff at first, but got better so quickly! I think the best thing about this is the ending. You just keep thinking that the guards are going to be punished. It actually makes more sense. Why wouldn't they just spear this guy?

I just love characters who are rebellious like that. The way everything was drawn was perfect too. I especially love the ostriches. I can see you going a long way with this series. It vaguely reminded me of Starbarians. It's something about how it has these two guys who just get away with everything.

[Newgrounds VAC 10 Awards!]

Okay, my main complaint with this is that it goes on too long. I think it's the longest thing I've ever watched on the website since this new format was made. I appreicate you wanting to pay tribute to so many talented people. It's just that there should have been more motion. I know it's not about animation, but it would have been more entertaining. The voices are of course wonderful.

My favorite presenter was of course RicePirate. Speaking of prolific people, why wasn't Rina-chan involved in any of this? I don't see TomAto either (or however you say his name). I couldn't remember most of these flashes. As I have reviewed so many, I thought I would.

JaShinYa responds:

Yeah the video was actually a very last minute decision so the artist really pushed it out as fast as she could. We're planning on doing this again for the next contest, but will have a lot more prep time and therefore better stuff! Rina and Tomamoto weren't asked to do this because they never were involved with the contests (at least not since I've been doing them). Ricepirate entered in VAC7 and is obviously a great talent and all around cool guy as well which is why he was in this. Thanks for the review and I hope you like it better next time around!

[Clockwork Gentleman]

The only complaint I have with this is that the CGI does look a bit bad at times. I still have to say this is an awesome cartoon. You really have no idea where it's going. I had no clue it was going to take such a dark turn given the title. Why would this guy give sentience to a robot body he would take over? I especially love the end where he just falls out like that.

I suspected that this would not end well. The robot's head kind of looked like C-3PO. I just freaking love spider legs. It's a kind of design that I've been fascinated with my entire life. I can see why this is on the front page before passing judgement.

Marcomatic responds:

I am sorry the CGI looks bad at times. I promise to make the 'CGI' gooder next time...
