Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Saved by the Horn]

I think this is the longest cartoon you've ever made. I personally didn't find this THAT appealing, because it didn't have that many clever jokes. It did have some writing, so I'll give you that. The best part about this is probably when Mr. Belding (I think that's his name) was kidding about cutting off Zach's cooch. This show has had so many followers, it only makes sense people would make parodies. Yeah, they didn't have black people.

Of course, no show back then really did, now that I think about it. I do think it kind of went on a bit too long, because I couldn't find that many appealing things about it. The running gag with kidding wasn't bad. I'm not your biggest fan, your stuff is just so incomprehensible. You're like the Andy Kaufman of flash animation.

[Son, Ya Done]

I was for the most part entertained by this, even if it was completely ridiculous. Come to think of it, Tom Fulp really does like to front page stuff that completely insane. This wasn't so much a movie as an anti-movie. That is, it works well by how little art it has. The animation needs a lot more movement, but for the most part, the drawings are actually decent. The sounds don't sync up that well, but it's still fun to watch.

It mostly works because it's just insanity from beginning to end. It was kind of sad how that kid was simply shot at the end. At least the real life (?) version of himself was okay. I was thinking it would be more positive given the title. Those fathers.

[Kinect Rage]

Woah, that was one bizarre cartoon. For the most part, I guess I'm going to say I enjoyed it. It was just completely insane with how ridiculous it was. You said you couldn't draw and I guess that's technically true, but man, do these cheesy drawings sure make it look good! It still looks like there was a lot of effort put into the animation. The guy with the gray hair looks like Sephiroth.

It's just funny to see how stupid these morons look. It's hard to feel much sympathy when they get beat up, because it's so fun to watch them do that! I know little about the Kinect. I guess I'm glad I'm keeping up with recent video game technology. There could have been some better colors, but that was besides the point. The point is this was insane and good.

Yeah, have always like reading your reviews here on NG.

[I Eat Puppies]

I don't see why people don't like this that much. I admit myself that it's completely nonsensical, but that never stopped stuff like animutation being popular before. Admittedly, those are better, but this is still fairly nice. I thought something about eating puppies would be a lot gorier. Not that I am in anyway saying I wish it was gorier. This is good just the way it is.

I don't know if this was supposed to have any deep meaning or symbolism, but I doubt it. It reminds me of those Spongmonkeys. It's rare you see someone in modern times using that. It's nice how no two images appear the same. If they were the same, they're probably so ridiculous, I wouldn't even notice.

[IE7 for a Webdesigner]

I can understand why this won Underdog Of The Week. It is certainly a unique cartoon, but it makes little sense. It seems to be a polarizing contradiction in itself. On one hand, the animation isn't very good and the voices could be better. On the other hand, it does have pretty impressive graphics sometimes like when it shows the evil icon at the end. Congradulations on winning Movie Of The Year!

I had no clue you could win both the Underdog Of The Week and MOTY. Then again, this is a pretty crazy submission, it seems like it would make sense its results would be nonsensical. I don't even know which Internet Explorer I'm using. Eh, probably 7. This was a pretty weird cartoon, but worth watching.

[Geico Ad Parody]

You could have not made it an infinite loop, but it's still a nice cartoon. There have been so many Geico commercials out there, it only fits people would make fun of them. First, it was the Geico Gecko. Then it was the Cavemen. Then it was the money with the googley eyes. Now it's the guy who says, "Could switching to Geico really save you...?"

I'm glad to say that there have been commercials where the Geico gecko has been featured, if that's what you're talking about. He's easily the most popular of all the characters. That stupid Caveman sitcom pretty much killed off the cavemen. The animation in this could probably be better, but that might have been part of the point.

[Opium Cop]

This is one of the strangest things you've ever done. I guess it might be strange somehow because it wasn't THAT strange in terms of things you've done before. I guess it's hard to explain. I was just expecting more jokes and wanted more comedy. It also seemed a tad too short for my taste. Nonetheless, it still manages to deliver the goods as the animation and voices are as good as ever.

I felt sad for that guy when he got shot. It was weird to understand some of this, because I thought that when the scene cut to him in the bathroom, it was supposed to represent how he was hallucinating or something. At least it shows you can make all kinds of cartoons. I don't quite get the opium joke. You can smoke anything, so you should be able to smoke opium.

[Madness Huitation]

Woah, I was seriously not expecting that ending! I guess all the guy wanted to do was spread Christmas cheer after all! This reminds me of the guy who used to submit an Xmas thing every year related to Madness. It only lasted for like two years. It's always great to have people combine two great things in one submission. I appreciate how you really wanted to spread holiday cheer to everyone.

In case anyone's wondering, I believe the body count was sixteen. I guess I didn't rate it higher because I'm used to seeing a lot more people die in a Madness cartoon. This was, of course, made around Christmastime and we shouldn't have too many deaths. It was pretty weird with how the bodies disappeared. Oh well, this is a nice cartoon.
