Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Madness Fervency]

That was strange

This reminds me of the submission "Bytesize" with all the short cartoons the people made. That being said, this was actually very well done. I was a little disappointed at first there weren't many deaths, but it definitley got better. In case anyone is wondering, there are 33 deaths that I counted. There may have been a few I missed with the zombies at the end. It's nice to see the different variety of ideas you have.

The art was somewhat similar, but there were differences. I especially notice how in one "sketch", the characters look a lot thinner. It's fairly interesting to see how far you have come with numerous projects you just never finished. I bet you could make a great complete Madness submission. The music is quite awesome and unfamiliar to me.

Kind of odd

BTW, you have an awesome image for your profile with the Tricky thing. I think it's interesting how I thought that maybe that girl was supposed to be the cat itself. I guess it's nice to know it wasn't made for furries, I don't think. Your English was pretty bad in this, but that can't be helped. The animation could have been better, it seemed a little out of place sometimes. It was pretty confusing, like was the cat shot for some reason?

Then again, it is an experimental flash so I shouldn't try to look for a plot. While it didn't have flashy effects, at least it wasn't the worst. It seems pretty sad that a person would commit suicide just because her cat died. I suggest that, yes, you should brush up on your English skills and use some better coloring. The dimensions being represented could have been better.

[Madness Combat]

Here's where it all started!

It's always interesting to see how far you have come with this series. I realize that even back then, this had some really unique artwork. I was waiting so long for him to kill that annoying dancing guy, but it was worth the end. Not to mention this is also a really groovy tune to listen to. It's weird to see so much carnage without actual blood. Of course, you still have the green skin for the zombies. It's interesting to see how this one really had no plot.

I can somewhat tell that this wasn't intended to be a series, because it doesn't have much of anything to go with. I think this is the only entry in which Hank actually gets to live. He takes on so many different appearances later, it's hard to believe this is him. I think my favorite weapon would have to be the cannon. It was cool how it had a single red button, the only red used in this!

How surreal

This is a great cartoon because it's just about how important it is to sit down and relax. Granted, I'm not a marijuana user, but I could associate with this. I guess I'm laid back enough that I don't need weed to daydream well. I had no idea you were eventually going to show the genitals of the Bush administration. Of course, it wasn't technically theirs, but whatever. I think this probably is the kind of hallucination a person of that time would have.

I like how there's no explanation for anything that goes on here. Who is this cat and why is his owner (if that is his owner) dressed like a clown? The silliness started before the drugs, which is impressive. The animation is pretty well detailed and I like how it doesn't try to be too gimmicky. A Beatles song would of course be appropriate.

[OuterSpaced]

Dance!

It probably would have been better if it was not an infinite loop. It's still nice to see stuff like this around on this website. Live-action stuff isn't highly thought of, but it can still be great when you submit stuff relating to it that's good. The guy kind of looked like the yellow AOL guy from a submission here I can't remember. It just looks like you're really having fun with this. I'm not even sure what outerspacing means.

The music is pleasant and gives off a sense of trying to spread joy. It's stuff like this that gives you the image of an ordinary person submitting things. It could have had more to it, but it's still something I would probably recommend. You could make it longer with more things going on and more of a story. I'd like to see more interaction.

[Lazy Writing 2]

Too awesome

This is one of the sweetest things you have made, because you have no idea where it's heading. I was afraid the teacher was going to kill the boy thinking he was a frog. Well, he WAS a frog, or rather, he was a bunch of frogs. It's non-sequitor stuff like this that makes me love you so much. It's hilarious to think of how you'd have to even have to shoot a frog a lot of times to kill it. It was short, but worth every second.

I love the artwork in this and how ridiculous the characters look. This wasn't lazy writng if that's what you were trying to say, this was brilliant writing. The voice work is fantastic and you know just the perfect way to create tension and silliness in voices. You're truly a credit to all flash makers. Everything is just so ridiculous to the point where it can only get more absurd from the beginning. You will never stop being awesome, friend!

[GraFight V]

You're back!

I have no idea how you were able to create the Daily 2nd AND Daily Feature for the same day! While it could have had more colors, this is still a simply fantastic cartoon to watch. It's amazing how you manage to continually come up with original ideas and designs. The worst part of it was probably when it ended! I especially like the guy who uses all of those shards of glass to control everything. It's hard to make up or down of this cartoon.

While not as good as the Daily Feature, it still deserves to watch for its creativity. I like the purple shades that are used by that one character. It's especially cool to see these stick dudes run away with such formidable opponents! I also love how the one guy's face just rips apart to the blue stuff. You prove that stick figures will never die.
