Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[De Lazoarz Kollab 4]

Hey, I worked on something!

Well, I have to say that in terms of goofy submissions, this certainly takes the cake. The best part is how I myself have a role in this! I guess it's about time I made something, seeing as how I'm so prolific here! Then again, I did make something that got deleted and everyone hated it, and I actually think people hate this even more than that. The most annoying bit was easily the part by Joeloasticot (whichever one you are) as it went on too long with the sound.

My favorite was the one I made because I think it was the goofiest. There was just so much going on, you couldn't help but like some of it. A pity how this will probably give me a bad reputation, seeing as how the score is so low. You guys can call me back next time but we should probably be more organized in our collab. It's great to be a part of a collab, maybe I just be a voice next time?

[2 Guys & a Jigsaw Puzzle]

I get it

Okay, okay, I have to admit that you were pretty funny with how subtle you were being on everything. The best part is the animation. I swear that the guy on the left looks like some giant egg. The animation is easily the best part of this, especially with how you manuever the movements. It was fun to catch what was on the puzzle pieces. Now, for a more serious analysis, I think I disagree with what you're saying.

I think that what most people use as a defense for this is how religion caused the Middle Ages with little scienfitic advancement. This is completely untrue. If you question most modern historians, they'll agree that this has been discredited. Religion helped us through that thousand years more than anything. So yeah, it's hard to really love this, but it's still well done.

[[CD11] You Know the Drill]

I know it!

I couldn't quite make out the text that appeared in this, but I could get the joke. I have to admit that it is a pretty flashy design for Clock Day. What's also weird is how we really didn't seem to do that well with Clock Day this year. The Daily Feature winner this year had a score of like 3.95! It's great to know there are still people who use this day to put all their 5s out. That really is quite a nicely drawn drill you have there.

My biggest complaint is that it does seem to go on too long at the end. Well, that was obviously the point of it. I think this probably did fit under the "Informative" genre than any other that I can think of. I am actually not specifically familiar with that drill. Hopefully, it will be better on next year's Clock Day.

You know the drill

[RWD: Death]

Death can be funny!

I've been watching the RWD series for awhile and it's interesting to see where it goes. It helps that "Cooking Sama" is one of my all-time favorite flash submissions. It only fits that someone would make a variant featuring the opposite genders. I didn't quite know what was going to happen, but it was certainly fun to watch. The animation is as good as ever in your works. I especially like how the two people in the plane looked so different in terms of artwork.

It's always great to hear about you getting stuff done that you never quite got around to finishing. Hey, this is the year we killed Bin Laden and released Duke Nukem Forever! The music is also great because it gives off a really mysterious sense. I had no idea that something like toast could be so destructive. I like the black and white guy.

[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.
