Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Screwdriver's Clockday 09]

Same to you

This was a bit entertaining to watch because the animation was good. You also seemed to acknowledge the fact that there was nothing special planned for this. You even managed to get a higher number of views than most Clock Day flashes. I hate to say that the thing I did not like was the music used. This seemed to be different than the usual song. I guess it might be because I haven't heard it in a long time.

Everything does look quite lush with the animation. If you're going to make something brief, at least you decided to make it really cool looking. I hope you had a great Clock Day in 2009 as I am sure you did with this high score. There could have been more action music. I am surprised this did not depict anyone getting shot.

[StrawberryClock's Elevato]

Far from terrible

While not decent, this was admirable for a number of reasons. You even managed to reach OVER 9000 VIEWS and that's something a lot of Clock Day flashes never experience. The best thing was how you acknowledge the fact that you do not have something special planned for this day. With these short skits, you have at least done more than a lot of people I can think of. I am surprised you are not called WobuffetClock. It was just funny to see Wobuffet like that in this cartoon.

That reminds me of how I miss that guy from the latest pokemon anime. Anyway, the best one was probably the first because it had the most variety. That reminds me that my family members have been throwing up a lot lately. Let us hope everything works out for them. May that stock "The End" sound live on forever.

[Bunnykill 5 Part 1]

Unrelated?

Yeah, it's like those cartoons that have nothing to do with each other to a lack of continuity. Basically, these guys can do whatever they want and nothing sticks. This was a really fantastic entry in the series and originally I wasn't that turned on because it seemed to start slow. Boy oh boy, did that get made up for as it got a trillion times cooler as it went on! This is easily the longest thing you have ever worked on, clocking in at about 12 minutes! It makes me want to see a full length movie made by you!

The characters are as awesome as ever. The coolest weapon would have to be the gun that doubles as a sword. The light saber battles are always great to look at and while they are not stronger than swords, at least they are cooler. I like how there's so many things going on. One loose laser sword hits a guy in the head and makes him an even darker color. Don't worry, Snowball should be back eventually.

Mottis responds:

The thing that hit the enemy in the head was actually just an electric stun baton, unlike the swords that the ninjas were using. But yeah :)
thanks.

[Stainville Episode 1]

Stainville?

I have no idea what even the title of this cartoon means, but it's really really good! The coolest thing was how the animation was just so ridiculous. At first I wasn't sure if the guy's head was supposed to look like a penis or not. It became obvious in the next scene. The coolest part was when the kid threw the paper airplane and the principal's head blew up. Every single movement of these characters is just so exaggerated!

It's a little dim looking but definitley worth the time to check it out. While it does have a plot, I can understand why you put it in the experimental genre. There's all these monstrosities just running around destroying everything for no reason. You continue to have a great sense of style. Even the "Replay" button at the end was sweet!

[Titanic: The Untold Story]

No plot?

It was funny to see Salad Fingers among the vegetable crowd. He would have been too obsessed with the red water to care about fighting. I guess the tomato was struggling with himself because he's not technically a vegetable. Another cool thing was how good the animation was. This is still a billion times more intelligent than those two stupid cartoon movies they made about the Titanic. It's weird how the one guy choked on a potato.

I had idea that scene was when I was supposed to get into it! I love how this is in the informative genre. Finally, something that involves vegetables killing things when it has nothing to do with the Clock Crew! The music was interesting and everything was completely random but that works on this website! Were the couple at the beginning supposed to be Jack and Rose?

Merol responds:

A lot of people consider the tomato a vegetable, but he was struggling with himself because he saw his family die, which is now a bottle of ketchup, that's why he was all traumatized.

Nooo, there were a lot of couples in the Titanic!

THANKS A LOT!

[Alight]

I wish it was longer...

Dude, this is one of the best flashes submitted here I have seen in a long time. You totally deserve every single main award. The thing about this that was the coolest was how you had no idea what was going to happen next. Here I thought the biggest tragedy was that these two children wouldn't be able to touch each other. Speaking of touch, this was extremely touching the whole way through. The animation all around was flawless but the best was easily when the fortress appeared.

I am guessing the end was supposed to represent the creation of man? Whatever the meaning, it touched me on a spiritual level. It was also cool how the skeleton at the end kind of looked like the Terminator. It makes you stop and appreciate how much beauty there is in the world. Amazing how this turned out to be the first flash you ever submitted! You have proven yourself a complete master of flash!

[Mario Twins (official)]

Love how sweet this is

Dude, I had no idea that the entire audio was taken from Group X. Then again, I have heard their songs before and this definitley seems familiar. What really makes this is the animation. Everything is drawn in the silliest manner possible, especially the Mario characters. Even through this, they manage to look awesome because they're still stylistic. It's amazing how fun a song can be when it's just the same spoken words over and over.

The best example of good animation is when the explosions are happening near the flag. It's amazing how these guys were able to get all of the classic Mario songs in one collection! I had no idea toilet paper would randomly appear. The funniest part was probably in the beginning when they said how the characters looked so similar. Everything is in such a wonderful, silly manner.

[DFL!: King Prawn]

Bring this show back!

This is the kind of thing that's ageless because it's extremely helpful in itself. I am going to assume these are all valid instructions on how to cook shrimp. What was even better was how there was so much information given in the sides. It also helps that the main character is a nice guy in himself. He seems like the kind of octopus that would show up in a Pixar movie. The animation wasn't that good, but the information given is great.

The funniest parts where probably when Tako was screaming or changing his voice at any time. Hopefully, I'll be able to cook like this when I'm on my own! This is what the cereal box says. "When you want a fast, nutritious breakfeast, don't reach for bacon and eggs, don't go for old cereal, forget that bagel - reach for PRAWN TARTS! Breakfeast just got a whole lot fishier!".

[Ninjai Teaser Trailer]

Too awesome!

Dude, I am so disappointed that the rest of this series was not released on Newgrounds! Not only is this great for a trailer but great in its own right. The graphics are so good, especially given that it was made in 2001! I believed I have watched some of the episodes and they are quite fantastic. I even like the little voice at the end that says, "Ooh my my" or whatever it is. There's not much of a plot to take in with this trailer.

What's cool is that the animation and action is fantastic. I think the best part is probably when the one guy gets the purple strands around his arms. It really keeps you wondering what the series itself is going to be like. This doesn't give away any plot points at all, just shows how talented you are. I am glad at least this preview is on this website.
