Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Fling Fling episode 2]

Dog!

It is great to see something old that made it into the flash portal history! This was actually not your first submission so I am not sure why it is described as being your introduction. "The Jimmy Pee Program" was earlier and in my opinion, better. The coolest thing about this was the animation. It was an extremely random cartoon that had the funniest dumb voices to move it along. It is amazing that you managed to get professional work on Conan!

Even better is how you are still making cartoons today! Back to this submission, it was wonderfully drawn and the music was great too. I have no idea what is going on, but I know the goofiness just makes it irrestible! The best part is probably the end with the party. That part really shows how well you can animate and show emotions.

[EverGeek]

Realized something

I never realized that the "4" button said, "crunk" as I always thought it was "funk"! Anyway, I am sorry to say I only gave this a 3 anyway. This was still a fun submission because of how much emotion is put into the characters. It is great to also see where this series started so I can understand it a lot better. I loved how ticked off the girl gets when all her clothes go away and how it seems like she's trying to seduce the male character. The funniest part was when the boss yelled at them for it not being a cutscene.

I originally thought this was going to be a series about people who were trapped in a game. I guess it is more of a fourth wall breaking RPG tribute. There seemed to be something wrong with the voices. It just seemed as though there was something wrong with the microphones you were using. Still a fun series.

[A Child Vampire's Lament]

Happy belated Halloween

This is one of the best Halloween flash submissions I have ever seen on this website! The awesome thing was that the narrative was completely fantastic. It was also a truly original idea to feature this story relating to Moses and his people wandering out of the desert. You seldom hear about scripture in vampire stories. The animation was absolutely great and it reminded me of the stuff by Jhonen Vasquez. This seems like it could be made into some demented picture book!

There was just so much detail put into every word and you felt for the vampire child. I would probably feel the same way if I was turned into a vampire. The drawings are beautiful works of art and show you don't need color for something great. Seeing as how this seems to be your first submission, welcome to the site, friend! You may not have the most views but at least you got a great score and put in the Halloween 2010 section! The music is perfectly haunting as well.

[Halo Reach Fail]

Quite fun!

I guess I am so used to you making games that it's weird to see you making a movie! Anyway, this was really cool to watch because it had so much action and humor in it. I was seriously not expecting the Spartans to eventually lose. It all started with the guy's butt being eaten. I am able to get more of the jokes now simply because Halo has been referenced so many times on this website and popular culture. No, I have never played it before.

The Easter Eggs were really cool. I was in no way expecting a crossover punchline, especially with Dragonball Z. I guess when you think of DBZ Internet parodies, you just immediately think of "Dragonball Abridged". It reminded me of the stuff by Egoraptor. You have, of course, made a lot of great things in your own right.

[MusicBox]

I wish it was longer!

This was an awesome submission because it had so much great detail in it. I was thinking it might take a dark turn because of the color but the tone was consistentl light throughout the whole thing. The coolest part was not knowing what was going to show up next. You can even understand how every thing carefully fits in its compartment. I would love someone to make a real life version of this machine. It's funny how you never thought of a music box as a machine before.

I like how the red color contrasts with the black and white. I guess those shading effects just touched me on a spiritual level in some way. Of course, the animation all around is very good. Oh, and how could I forget that the tune itself was a great one to listen to? I certainly had no problems that it turned out to be an infinite loop.

[Mortal Kombat FAILtality]

You're back!

It's been awhile since I've hard form you and it's great to have you back! I had no idea there was a new Mortal Kombat game coming out that was simply called "Mortal Kombat". Anyway, the sprite work was really well done. I loved how you used stuff from the MUGEN game, that should show up more around here. It was also funny to see the characters who didn't make it in. I notice that although Raiden was the losing opponent sometimes, he didn't actually have his own part.

I also wish the "?" at the end would have been a cool Easter egg instead of just the credits. This is still great because it has been the longest time since a Mortal Kombat parody like this came about. "Mortal Kombat 3" was one of my favorite games when I was a kid. I think my favorite would have to be Shang Tsung. It's hard to keep track as there are simply so many!

[Spider-Ninja 2]

Neat!

I had fun trying to find out who would show up next in the cartoon. I could not tell who the big ninja was at first, but he turned out to be the Sandman. When Spider-Man put him in the jar, I could not help but think of Gaara from "Naruto". The best part was the animation and how the characters look so great. It seems like Marvel has done pretty much everything with Spider-Man, but I am not sure if he was a ninja. Seriously, he's been a zombie, an Indian, a Pilgrim, I could go on all day.

I guess his mythos has become so well known you can put him in almost anything. When he was flying around with his mask, I thought he kind of looked like Deadpool. The Green Goblin probably had the best villian design. It was really cool how this went out and created a world of its own. It sure takes a long time to load, though.

[VALV Halloween 2010]

It's me again!

You are just so amazingly successful on this website as everything you make gets high ratings! Anyway, this really worked because you tried a new style of animation. The kind you had was already great, but it's always nice to see people experimenting with new things. The best thing was probably the children. They just seemed so funny and smart for their ages. That story was so cheesy and I just had no idea at all what was going to happen next!

This is one where you make it up as you go along. It certainly fits the character of yourself (Darkar in this). It was also funny to see him/you go all crazy in the beginning as he looked like a werewolf or something. It is always nice with how you go through the trouble of putting English subtitles. The voices in Spanish are already good.

[Häschenkarnickel]

Smurfed!

I don't know why, but I kind of thought that cute with you using the trailer. It does still lack the things that are in a high quality flash. You should try to always remember to put a background in, although this was kind of funny in its own right. I seriously wished I knew what the trailer was for, and it told me! I could have sworn I heard the "Requiem For A Dream" music at first. I think this is the first time I ever saw the "B" colored blue.

I hope that in the next one, you have a lot of action or a Smurfs parody. Maybe you could see the Smurfs movie and be inspired. I might see it myself, if it gets good acclaim or box office response. Wait, this is 2011 right now and it's going to come out this summer! BTW, you can click the dot in the question mark to replay the flash.

[The Ballad of a Big Dummy]

Dummy?

I am not familiar with Red Foxx so I do not know if calling him a "dummy" is supposed to be a joke or something. Maybe it was part of his show? Anyway, it was weird with how you mentioned Santa Claus because I don't know how RF had anything to do with SC. Did you say that because of the "Red" in his name? Anyway, I was expecting you to reference the fact that people thought he was acting while he was dying. I guess it was nice to throw in that music, but it got a bit annoying.

What you need to work with is putting on a background. The whole thing came off as too silly and I could not find any jokes in it. I guess it was kind of something different to see on the website. I recall my brother saying, "dummeh" (spelled like that) so maybe he got it from Red Foxx. Too strange to really enjoy.
