Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Game Facts: Gears of War]

I have not played the Gears Of War game, but I still found this to be funny. I can see why some people are a tad mad at you about this. It's just that in terms of what makes a good game, I honestly don't think character development should be that big a deal. It's a game, not a movie. Of course, movies based on video games are mostly bad anyway. The animation was as fantastic as ever.

I do think that it's less confusing when you name something Gears Of War plus the number. I like how the voice is so gruff and stupid sounding in this. I should have expected there to be a penis of some kind involved in this. Not that you're known for it, we're all known for it! This is the Internet, after all.

[Past Madness]

It's unbelievable how people will never stop making unique Madness stuff. It's great to see the twist ending where it was Jebus all along. What I do find weird is where was the present version of Jebus? Well, MC never made much sense to begin with, so it doesn't need to. I liked how you showed the characters literally messing with the timeline. It does kind of make you wonder why he didn't just shoot Hank when he first saw him.

Oh, but then there wouldn't have been as much awesomeness. I love how Jebus has those cigarettes that burn people into skeletons. It isn't used that much, but it's a nice little touch. As usual, it's great you have so many people to thank for. I was amazed he survived being shot like seven times in the head.

[Pico's 420]

I didn't think this was that good, because it just seemed like it was people getting high and nothing else. Of course, when weed is so good, what else do you need? The animation was really good. It really made me realize how close Pico Day is to 420. That day this year had so many meanings. Apart from being the BP oil spill day, it's also Hitler's birthday and Earth Day this year.

It seemed like everyone is having a good time here. I like how insane and grotesque these characters look. I could have sworn that this was drawn by someone like W-P-S or MisterAardvark. I guess this style is more common than I thought. Happy Pico Day and happy 420!

[Splice of Life (NATA)]

Wow, there are definitley a lot of contests and stuff going on lately. It was a bit hard to follow, but it was still very watchable. I think the funniest thing about it was probably how it reminded me of those Red/Green/Blue collabs we used to have. I like to think of this as a throwback to those days. The animation was really good in this, with everything flowed so well. There were a lot of things going on.

I remember that scene from "Back To The Future 2" very well. I am glad you explained it all in the author's comments, because it was certainly hard for me to follow through. I like how the colors contrast with each other. This was fairly lengthy, I'm surprised. Congradulations on having the Daily Feature for Pico Day for something that didn't have Pico in it!

[Awesome Tribute]

Wow, and I thought this had nothing to do with Pico Day. This was a great cartoon because you got to showcase all that is glamorous about Egoraptor's Awesome Series. It's amazing how there's an endless number of video games you can parody! I think my favorite was probably the Final Fantasy part. It's great to see this world where all of these characters are just completely insane. It's of course, what you'd expect from an Awesome tribute.

And I mean "awesome" in both senses of the word. I like how everything flowed so wonderfully in such an awesome manner. I wonder how Pitt as an eggplant was able to get that far in the first place. It's as zany as ever and I love that in a cartoon. I do kind of wish the music at the end would stop.

[Scarlett Johansson Nudes]

Well, it doesn't seem like this was intended to be anything that great. I do appreciate the good animation. I have seen so many Pico stuff popping up, it was interesting to see something that wasn't related to it. The sounds weren't that great, but it's just too short. It just seems to work for a single joke which is admittedly funny in its own right. It just isn't enough for a full cartoon.

I guess in this case, calling it a "full" cartoon would be a bit of a stretch. It might have worked better as an Easter Egg in one of your cartoons. Of course, with the new formats we're using, it is in fact hard to make Easter Eggs like that. I guess I was just hoping for more recognizable characters. It's harmless by itself.

Eddache responds:

You're the reason I wasn't going to bother putting this up in the first place. It was just a YouTube toon but I thought I'd share it today.
"It's too short" is the dumbest review anyone can say. Things are as long as they need to be. There's no reason for this to be longer and there's no reason why more "short" cartoons can't go onto Newgrounds, aside from malcontent reviewers complaining "it's too short" like it's a bad thing.

[The Mustache]

You might want to trim off the last five seconds. Heh heh, trim, I didn't even realize that joke at first. Anyway, what I liked about this was how good the animation was. It was great to see everything look so ridiculously cartoonish. You'd think he'd just be able to grow his mustache back. Of course, if he did, then he wouldn't remember what made him like that in the first place.

I love how the viewer has no idea what's going to happen in this cartoon until the end. You should just now that Hitler's always going to appear, what with Godwin's Law and all. It makes me think we should have a Hitler page, if we don't already. Of course, if this appeared there, it would spoil the ending. Fairly short, but great for what it is.

[PP - Stonecutter]

I thought this was a very nice and powerful cartoon. It mostly helps that you really have no idea what's going to happen at the end. I was thinking that maybe he was going to wish he could turn into a chisel. It's so cool to see how this character realizes what he was the whole time. Hopefully, he will turn back into a stonecutter at one point. I find it weird how he can become something else just be wishing to.

Well, I'm probably just being nitpicky, this was a great cartoon. The animation is decent and the sounds are very nice. Oh yeah, I'm a big Winnie The Pooh fan and I heard that was how he got his origin or whatever. You have a very sweet voice. Kids should see this.

[The End - Minecraft [ML]]

Wow, it's been awhile since I've seen a really good scary submission. This fit the bill perfectly. It played out like a Creepypasta as a lot of those seem to take place in the Minecraft world. It's not often you see stuff as creepy as this. I thought that in the end the guy was going to turn into a dark creature like them, but while he was turned into a monster, not like the one they were. You really had no idea what was going to happen to him.

At first I thought he had maybe turned into a rock that was being mined. I should have seen the foreshadowing with the mention of the Creepers earlier. I guess we should try to take pity on them. The music is wonderfully haunting too. I can't believe that this is your first cartoon! It is fantastic and you should help spread the word with how good you are.
