Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Miss Dynamite 24]

Very funny

I think this has some of the best voicework and best animation as this series goes on. I especially like how Darkie sounds so childlike, yet is also an assassin. There are so many funny moments like Eva getting shocked over the furry exploding. The best part might be when Eva reacted to the drug by Darkie saying nice things to her. Of course, it was another great moment when she got back to normal. I actually went up on Wikipedia and looked up "Miss Dynamite" and I was depressed that your article had apparently been taken down.

Sirkowski responds:

That's why Eva was pissed off.

[[KK] This Is Not Hentai]

I have to disagree

The only good point was how you were honest in the title. You see a lot of lower rated flashes out there that are all about hentai in the title but have nothing to do with it. I just thought this did not send off a good message at all. If someone wants to be popular, they should probably want on things in both categories. I can think of a lot of good animated things here that are also very funny. If you guys wanted to mock the other people that much, you should have worked for better jokes here.

Got a few scars!

I do not think I have heard of you before, but this was truly great! Seeing as how the song was an audio submission here on Newgrounds, I now understand why I did not recognize it. This was just great to watch, because the animation is so great. It completey lacks in plot, as it is a demo reel, but everything just fits together so well. This is seriously something that a professional animator would be working on. It even seems as though you used a different program than Flash Player to make this.

JazLyte responds:

Nope, this is 100% flash :) Thanks for the great review, glad you enjoyed it.

[Gametalk EP 1]

Happy Clock Day, I guess

It is hard to hate this, because it seems as though you are trying to create something that is truly going to help people. I, as a prolific reviewer, have seen this and I would be introduced in doing a voice or at least appearing as a character. Other people have done that, but I have yet to do a voice. The layout was fairly ordinary and it defintley needs some tweaking. I guess this only sometimes happens, but I had trouble keeping up with what was being sad. It is an experimental thing, after all.

[..abandoned utopia..]

It was a nice picture

I guess you were nine minutes late, because Clock Day was on the 15th. Anyway, I did not see what this had to do with the Clock Crew much, as I do not think it did have anything to do with them. I mean, it is a really nice wallpaper. It just does not work well because it is a submission that is nothing but a single screen and some nice music. Oh wait, there is some rain falling. It just seems like this could work out to really be something cool and artsy, you just need to make it longer with a plot.

Punisher responds:

USELESS REVIEW [-]

also, you are wrong. This is perfect as it is, and is exactly what it needs to be.

[Palote]

Now that's insane

I really liked this video because it was really quite original all around! It almost seems like something someone like LazyMuffin or Tim Frommeyer would come up with. While it was extremely confusing, the artwork was simply gorgeous. You also had no idea what was going to happen next and did not really care. It might have used a bit more action, but it revelled in its own insanity so much I did not care about that either. The music is also really stylistic and it is great to see the action fit the grooves.

[Edbert and Otis ep. 6-10]

Not bad

This was a big improvement from the previous entry, even if it did not turn out all that great. I liked how consistent you were with the many running gags. Or rather, I liked it how you really knew how to add varieties to them so they did not get old. I think the funniest part would probably have to be when he did not get hit by the anvil, but then got hit by three anvils in a row! It is obvious classic cartoons inspired that sort of thing. It probably need improvement in terms of voice work and animation.

[Airplane Dream]

I wish my dreams were that cool

It is an easy way to come up with ideas for goofy things if you just recall what happened in your dream. Was your supervisor really a pterodactly in your dream? This could have been better if there had been some color to it. I wish I had dreams like this, as the most recent one I can recall is hearing my brother and mother argue. That stuff happens in real life all the time, so it wasn't even a supernatural dream. This was pretty fun to watch as it showed off your own creativity and sweet dreams!

[Banana Phone]

What?!

Call me swimming against the current, but I did not think this was as great as some people say. Granted, it was still enjoyable due to the good animation and interesting song. It is so weird how we never learn where this banana song comes from or why. The idea of a phone being like a banana is simply funny. There is no resolution and no reason for any of this to happen, but it still is a fairly unique idea. I especially like how you guys omitted the black lines around the characters and objects.

[Windows Noises]

How did you do this?

At first I thought you just used a webcam to show how you did this, but was it done in flash? I really have no idea what SNDREC32.EXE means. Whatever way you did it, it was certainly done in a very impressive way, given how great it turned out! You really went out of your way to try to tell a story using only sound files. Given the fact that this is six years old, I can only imagine what you could release with today's technology. It shows that you can do great things with just the basic sound programs you have.
