Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Sheriff McGyro]

Another weird submission

I sure have stumbled upon some pretty weird things lately. I think the strongest point about this was how good the animation was. The characters all look so three dimensional or rather, they don't. It's weird to see how this kid grew up to become insane, seeing everything turned into wood. I knew there would be a joke about getting splinters at the end. At first I thought the sherieff's name was a pun on McGuyver.

Upon closer inspection, it really isn't like that at all. The best thing about this was probably how authentic the Old West style felt. I was thinking you'd make something more graphic, but this makes it work better. The characters just seem to have really good emotion in this. I am glad to have viewed another one of your great cartoons.

cheers ericho.

["...is Done" ROBOTDAY2010]

That was freaky!

Wow, I certainly had no idea what to expect from something as ridiculous as this. The animation was really good, but what really made it was how bizarre it was. There were just all sorts of crazy things going on. I was thinking it was going to degenerate into a porn flash with all the hot women. I am glad it did not. I think the robot in this looks familiar, like he might have been used in the show "Ugly Americans" or something.

The music was quite funky and it was a beat that I could get used to. You truly had no idea what was going to happen next in this bizarre submission. The toast flying out was probably my favorite part. It's been so long since I saw a Robot Day flash I didn't even realize they had a custom logo. I thought it was the one for Pico Day at first.

[A Shiny Minecraft tale]

Great artwork!

This was a really cool submission because it had some really fine artwork! I am all too familiar with the "Minecraft" series. While I have always admired the way they are animated, this was a different kind of animation that really fit the tone! It's great to see so much detail put into everything that's still fairly block shaped. I was able to find some Easter Eggs, but not all the medals showed up. I realized this was because not all of them were medals.

In case you're wondering where the blue pick ax is, just click it when he first appears to fight the enemies. I didn't view this as much as comedy as I did action. It sounds like the "X-Files" theme song. It's so great that ZekeySpaceyLizard is still working with other people. I guess he quit doing stuff on his own, but he deserves some work here. That green dinosaur is cute.

[BONK!]

Very different

I am used to "Team Fortress 2" submissions being extremely goofy and non-sequitor. This was actually a nice exception. It seemed to have a lot more of a plot than most submissions. It helped that the animation was simply gorgeous and did the characters justice. I imagine that it's hard to capture the essence of a CGI character in 2D animation. TF2 was one of the few series that didn't have a popular entry that wasn't CGI.

It's great to knwo that you make all different kinds of flashes. I wasn't expecting anything to hapen with that sandwich at the end. Of course, you have to have that in for a little bit of humor. The sounds were great and everything was really high paced in this. You're the kind of artist who can work with all kinds of artwork.

Experimental indeed

The thing I found weird was that I was wondering was this wasn't an audio submission. Unless of course, these sounds are random and can't be contained. If so, then I tip my hat to you for making something interesting. As most experimental flashes go, it does great for what it's supposed to be. For people who want plot, well, this isn't the kind of submission you're going to want to see. This is probably the first time I got something that the creator said wasn't a movie or game.

There could have been some more music, but it's hard to critique this. It's like watching a video of a guy eating a burger for three minutes. I guess I can give you credit on it being unpredictable, or at least I think it was. It probably is worth checking out, simply because of how ridiculous it is. The colors, what little there are, are nicely done with shades.

[B in Arabic]

How'd you do it?

Congradulations on doing the Clock Crew good with this! I really can not say that it's good or bad, because it only has one thing in it that's appealing. I know nothing about how to write in Arabic. It's actually a fairly commonly used language, so I have seen it several times. The best thing about this is that it doesn't have anything bad in it. This is mostly because it really doesn't much except that one word.

I can't dislike this because you wanted to pay tribute to StrawberryClock. The Ed Wood of flash movies should get his respects. I can't really suggest for you to improve, because there is simply no way that you would want to. It looks like you had a good Clock Day from the high ratings this managed to get. It's been awhile since I've seen something from Clock Day 2006.

[Aaj 2: Testicle Trouble]

How, uh, ballsy

I'm so glad that I'm beginning to recognize Omahdon's voice. It's amazing how you guys have all become so prolific. It's been awhile since I watched the other episode, so it's nice to see how this series goes along. I think the only thing I didn't like was the animation, which needs work. I still felt for the characters, especially that catgirl. It must be nice to be in a relationship where you openly use BDSM or whatever.

Wait, if it was all a scam, then how come it worked on his balls? Whatever the reason, it's a fairly funny cartoon. It's weird how he was able to put the shampoo on his balls while still wearing pants. It was overall fairly random and unpredictable. Thank you for making it so that guy with the annoying voice was only there briefly.

Lots of good stuff

I just realized how funny it was how you called the final contributor in this "Endo". This was certainly a lot bigger than I thought it would be. It's too bad that all of the authors for this were not credited on the sides of the submission. This is still a great piece, particularly with how you do not know what to expect. I think its strongest point was probably how everyone did use a similar theme. It showed how we all use similar ideas differently.

You were the only person I seemed to recognize there. Some were better than others, and I think my favorite was probably the last one, again with Endo. It does my heart good to know you will simply never stop making these awesome flashes. Even the title screen is awesome, with how the parts shine. You might want to have a "Play All" option, though.
