Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Half Life pivot - by olix]

Don't judge by lack of sound alone

Okay, I'm going to admit right now that I am kind of frustrated by how this doesn't have any sound. It seems like you could simply place a popular high paced song over it to have more people enjoy it. I still found this to be enjoyable because the animation is actually really good in this. What's also funny is the random appearance by Gordon Freeman not as a stick figure. I guess the lack of sound makes it hard for you to figure out the story. It's still fun to watch.

I think my favorite would probably be the stick figures who have the white masks. Apart from said masks, they have the coolest weapons. Freeman looks great as a stick figure in this. The animation moves quite fluidly and gives off a nice sense of action. You really don't know what to expect from the random location of New Mexico in the beginning.

[The Obnoxious Orange]

Knife!

I rarely see any Annoying Orange parodies and I don't know why. While it is a joke in itself, it's fairly easy to make fun of. While this was a bit non-sequitor, what really made it was the fantastic animation. It was great to see a more deconstructive approach taken on the series. While it was already kind of dark, this really utilizes it. I had no idea that talking fruit could be so wonderfully drawn in Flash!

It was sweet to see the Orange die at the end. That little bugger had it coming. The funniest part was probably when the apple acknowledged the fact that the orange said his name and did nothing else. You'd think more of the saner characters in that series would point stuff out like that. Actually, Orange is really the only INsane one.

[The Mourning Leopard]

Another great cartoon

I was wondering how you could get as pitiful as a creature that died so quickly. You made this hilarious by making it being done from the view of a predator. Apart from the fact that the animation is great, this is something I wonder. People often give anthromorphic features to animals. If so, do these intelligent animals ever feel sorry for the animals they have killed? While it wasn't anthromorphic, it was definitley worth it here.

While there isn't that much in terms of shading, the coloring is fantastic. It really makes you feel sorry for a guy feeling sorry for what he's killed! I like how the leopard goes to evil to sad so quickly. The voice was great, because it gave a great sense of being part of a fake documentary. It's more enjoyable than "African Cats", not that that wasn't a good movie.

[Normal Cartoon Bunny Hell]

That's nuts!

Congradulations on making one of the most insane things I have ever encountered on this website! It's fantastic how everything just moves around in the most ridiculous ways. The real photos (or drawings) used were fantastic. Every second, these characters (or character) seem to be jiggling around like jelly. It truly sets up a creepy atmosphere. Well, I guess it wasn't supposed to be creepy seeing as how it was under "Drama".

Then again, it would probably fit better under "Experimental". I just love the fantastic bright colors used in this. Flashy colors that really bring out the essence of the cartoon is something I always look for. It was weird how you tried to have a story of some kind. I imagine anyone in that situation would go mad.

[Trick or Treat?]

True underdog

I wasn't quite listening to what the Joker guy was saying at the end. Of course, I could still get the idea that you gave away the ending to something. I don't know what you were talking about, nor would I probably ever play it, so I don't care. It's always great to see this fantastic animation. I didn't quite get the joke with Batman in the first half. He found out it was Halloween, so he went over to the house with a grappling hook, how is that a joke?

The best part was probably the Joker's trollface. It's nice to know you won some sort of award of this. Oh, I thought you were talking about working on Tom Fulp in the author comments. I hope you had a great Halloween as I had a nice one. I was a bit confused as to how the "Play" button was presented on the ad.

[Harder, Tiffany, Harder!!]

That was random

I have to give you credit for creating a cartoon where you have no freaking clue what's going to happen next. It's mostly because you don't even know what's going on right now! The best thing is probably when the man is revealed to have the body of a horse! It was easily the most insane and surreal part. It's hard to even call this funny, it was just so ridiculous, it's hard to say anything about it. It still was a great thing to watch.

I wasn't expecting it to make sense, but I'm glad it was cleared up that that never happened. And to think this character was scary enough without knowing he had breasts. The animation is fantastic in this and everything moves so wonderfully. This really emphasizes bright colors. I always look for that stuff in flashes.

Sexual-Lobster responds:

thanks, ericho!

[Desktop Stripper]

Now that's different!

Wow, this was neat because I had no idea what was going to happen next. The scary thing is that it actually did get kind of scary at the end. This is what happens when you have sex with a desktop icon. It was weird how it really did seem to get serious at the end with the music and the creepy spam. For the majority, it was just the usual wacky stuff. As always, the animation is great, especially how these characters move their lips.

It's funny how she appears as a stripper at first and then wears normal clothes. Your cheesy female voices are as funny as ever. You truly manage to make that final scene effective by showing parts of them being hanged. I thought you were going to make something goofier out of it. It actually ended on a rather serious note!

LazyMuffin responds:

I made this so people treat their desktop strippers better.
Thanks

[SWEET GRIM]

Wow!

This seems to be the highest rated Halloween flash I've seen this year! I think this will probably win any award you ask for. As for there was no dialogue, you told the story by having all that fantastic music being played. I was kind of expecting more of a climax, but it's definitley worth checking out. The best thing is probably how awesome the animation is. It's also great to see the kids dressed up as stuff popular on this website.

I just celebrated Halloween and I don't think I saw any costumes like that. Of course, I didn't give most of the candy out. I also like how you show the magician Madness flash in the credits. There just seems to be a lot of flashy stuff going on in this. It's cool that you made it like the Grim Reaper (or whoever it was) sympathetic.

[MLP: Rarity bath time]

Great!

I am generally not a person who is for simple moving pictures, but this is an exception! I think this may in fact be the best piece of MLP fanart I've ever seen! Of course, by "best", I mean the kind that comes to the closest to looking like the TV show looks. I love how some of the other pony characters appear in this. This is just what makes the show so awesome with its animation! I do kind of think this should go more in the Art Portal.

I love how you have a really soft melody to soothe the viewer as they are watching this great piece. A full fledged cartoon would be perfect. It's even great to see the drops of water on the ground! It's great to be introduced to someone so talented. This is pretty much everything that made MLPFIM so popular.

I didn't know we had an art portal, thanks!
