Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Megaman - Rockin in paper]

I was very impressed by this submission! It's not often you see a lot of stop motion stuff here. It makes me glad that there are always people who are going to experiment with different kinds of styles. The best part was probably how you used different everyday objects to tell the story. It's just nice when there's a lot going on in a way that everyone can associate themselves with. The music is great too.

I never had the chance to play the Mega Man games when I was younger, so I'm glad to be introduced to it. I liked how Mega Man himself was a piece of paper and the obstacles were more solid. I can't say anything about improving on colors because it was just using real life objects. It's been awhile since I've heard him being referred to as "Rockman". Congradulations on maintaining this high score.

[Hank Hanky: Your Cat]

It's interesting to see all kinds of stuff you can work on. This was weird, because it had a lot of dialogue. I don't know if that's actual audio you used, but it probably is. Anyway, I actually used to have somewhat of a problem myself only now he just bites me, so I highly doubt he's trying to give me a high five. We had him declawed. I really just love cats too much to replace him with a dog.

The animation was really good too. I liked how everything seemed to be moving so fast and how there were rarely repeating movements. The live-action clips were also pretty cool. It's a weird little submission, but it's nice. I appreciate how it made more sense than some other weird stuff I've seen.

Yep, it's real people calling in and asking questions.

[TIMELESS (NATA '12)]

This was a really great cartoon and it worked because it was so emotional. The animation is still pretty high in terms of quality. I am glad you included a synopsis in the author comments. It certainly didn't make a lot of sense to me at first, but that's never stopped me from liking something before. I like how you really try to appeal to our place in the Universe and not just how science works. I think the stuff the scientist draws on the chalkboard are actual scientific equations.

Of course, I doubt they're about time travel. The music was just gorgeous in this. It's something like this that makes you realize you don't need to have dialogue because the music gives you all you need. It's an interesting and profound cartoon and it's great you're getting recognized for it. Hard to believe it took only a week to make!

[Stickman Can't Fight 2]

I thought this was good, but not good to the point where it has this high rating. What's good about this is how there are so many art styles. I wish there could have been more! This is a pretty nicely done cartoon, because you did little snippets of art shift here and there. The music was pretty good too. I must have gotten into some glitch because I kept hearing this commercial the first time I played it.

It worked fine when I refreshed it, of course. I like how everyone's a good sport in this. It probably doesn't make it any less painful for the players, though. I could see the fist on your face joke coming from a mile away. Good enough to recommend to stick fans.

thanks for the review. if you think that this one is good, check out the other ones! and please do recommend to stick fans ;)

[How Drugs Help]

I like how you creep us out by mentioning the mysterious stranger in the author comments. What I really liked about this was the animation as usual. You will simply never stop making amazing flashes like this. I felt this could have been wackier, though. I had no idea that drugs could make you literally travel back in time. Wouldn't your dad realize you have a son that looked just like the guy who raped you?

You'd probably be so confused you wouldn't figure it out. I believe that some kinds of drugs can help you. When you take them with other drugs, you never know what's going to happen. It's too bad you're a bit late for 420, as I noticed the clock. Good ol' marijuana.

[Game Facts: Battlefield 3]

This was another good entry in this series. It took me two refreshes to get it to work properly. I think there's some new kind of layout that this website is using that I'm having trouble getting used to. Anyway, the animation is great as always. I love how utterly stupid these guys are. I knew that they were going to like what they heard, even if it was a fart.

That has to be some kind of weird fetish to get off to that. The voicework is as good as ever. I appreciate you always coming up with new ways to mock the industry. I haven't played those games, so I'm not familiar with it. That does sound like a sound effect from a game like that.

[Bounty + Hunter]

I had trouble with this so I'm glad you gave me instructions on how to just restart the page. This was a fantastic cartoon. In fact, I think it might even be the best animated CGI cartoon I've ever seen on this website! This is the kind of stuff you would expect to see in a film festival. The fact that you honored us by showing it here is fantastic. The fact that there's no dialogue gives the characters more depth.

I was expecting him to get a kiss at the end. I like how he's sort of presented as more of a bumbling criminal who does the right thing in the end. The way the action is shown is of course completely flawless. It makes you wonder if most submissions are going to be CGI, like how most animated movies are nowadays. It isn't too flashy, it's just a great story being told. You deserve this high score.

[Super Slumber Party]

You don't have to worry about something being live-action, because it's been on this website before. The most noted example is of course the "Numa Numa Dance" thing. Wow, just wow. It's hard for me to even think of what to say to describe this. I thought it was going to be some weird porn thing with how it started. I am glad it wasn't. I didn't even understand the final punchline with how he was peeing on you.

I am so confused as to what this was even supposed to be about. At least it's something original, I'll give you credit for that. It just makes no sense whatsoever. Well, I guess it shows that you really can experiment with anything, so this was an interesting thing for you guys to do. I just don't think it turned out too well.
