Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Trials of Draigo]

I have heard so much about Warhammer 40K, but have seen very little of it. I've never even seen a single advertisement for it on TV, despite the fact that it's so popular. I didn't even recognize it as one until the credits. It was weird how there were so many strange names in this. Of course, in this game, that's the least of your problems. The animation was great.

I could barely even understand what the narrator was saying. That was probably part of the joke. I thought this would be hentai with the two aliens in the beginning. They look like female versions of Majin Buu. Rule 63 of course!

[Bringing you bullshit 2]

Here's another non sequitor Valentine's Day flash. I didn't think this was that good, but it was still decent. It reminds me of those "Phoenix Wright" things we used to have. I guess that might be because I was able to recognize what was going on in the second bit with the Spongebob reference. The animation was fairly decent. I thought she was seriously going to blow him.

Speaking of which, it makes you wonder why blow and suck mean the same thing? Anyway, this was a bit too short to enjoy that much. It might have worked better as part of a sketch. You do say it's just a series of shorts. It's fine for what it is.

[Bon Appetit]

This is one of the strangest submissions I've seen in awhile. I don't understand what its real goal is. It just has this girl go inside a monster's body and it turns out to be pointless. I will say that the animation is all around fantastic! There is so much gorgeous detail put into everything. This seems exactly like something you would see at a film festival. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if you submitted it for one.

It was really creative with how the monster's body was like a video game. The girl had to go down there to collect an item. You would think someone would already give up. At least that cone's edible! The lack of dialogue made it pretty appealing too.

[I've done a poo]

I thought this was going to be a sequel to "Butt Worms". It turned out to be something just as disgusting. I thought that maybe the father was going to say that he'd done a "vomit", with what he did in the toilet. I will admit that the animation isn't that good. I do think it's kind of gross to talk about poo. How could she have done so much poo?

I really shouldn't think so much about poo. I'm so glad she was put in an asylum at the end. If my daughter did that, I'd do the same. It does kind of go on a bit too long too. Of course, that may be because I don't watch to see that much poo. I think one of your other cartoons was showing on the TV.

[Que?]

I thought it just had a strange overall appearance. I couldn't really get that much into a final punchline or anything. I still have to give you credit for having some fantastic animation. Honestly, this may in fact be the best I've ever seen in a Valentine's Day cartoon! But yeah, I wish it had more to with the actual holiday. You definitley have potential, but it doesn't seem to be used well.

I'm glad it wasn't spoken in Spanish. It's been so long since I've taken a Spanish class everytime I hear the language I get embarassed that I can't understand it. This also happened to be my dad's birthday! I hope you had a good holiday too.

[Fight Fight Fight!!]

I just thought this was so cool! I think it was mostly because it reminds me so much of the classic Street Fighter games. I don't know about this contest you are talking about. There are so many of them on this website I lose track. The red guy looks like a reptile of some kind. I wouldn't expect a reptile to have a sixpack, but I'm not a herpetologist.

The animation moves so wonderfully fluid here. It's pretty much as good as anything else you've worked on. You remind me of golfinho, only not as disgusting. That is probably why I like you more. The work with the shadows is nice too.

TheBoogley responds:

Thanks again for your review, It's great to have your opinion on my work! :D
LoopdeLoop is an animation challenge site that I have been running for a while.

[We Played Nintendo]

I was wondering why this did not have the name "Shamoozal" on it. I thought it was just going to be a live-action sequence at first. I guess that probably wouldn't have worked out well for the website. Then again, the "Numa Numa Dance" was live-action. I thought this was a neat little tribute. It's too bad I never played these games as a kid.

I was more of a Mario guy. It was really cool to incorporate different styles for everything. You all these scenes by yourself? Impressive! I think my favorite was probably the Contra part, with the ghost and everything.

Shamoozal responds:

I almost didn't post this video because of the live action stuff, I wasn't sure if it was going to fly. And yes I handled everything in this video, all of the animated sequences and the live action stuff. Glad you liked it.

[Happy ClockDay 2012 F&S]

It was quite interesting to see what a Clock Day 2012 submission would be like that got a high score. Seriously, there wasn't that much this year. I couldn't help but think it was just a single image at the beginning. I tried to press some buttons to do something and it actually seemed to work. Of course, that was only coincidence. At least you guys got your own yearly page.

I did think the designs were pretty good. I just wish I could understand what the characters were saying. I guess it's fairly suiting for a Clock Day submission. You guys probably should work on higher quality stuff. This just doesn't seem to show effort.
