Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[BedClock Saves B]

Hard to hate

A lot of the stuff in this was just plain goofy, but it seemed to work out pretty well i its goofiness. My favorite part was when it showed the "End" thing. Those graphics were so good I wish you guys would have used them on the entire cartoon! Anyway, I noticed how the locks were still firing their guns even after they were killed. I would think StrawberryLock would appear or at least SBC would take on his form. It was very hard to understand, particularly with how SBC went back to being a clock.

I am going to take a guess and say that clock at the beginning was PizzaClock. One thing I've learned from you guys, you will never ever run out of new names for clock characters. The audio got annoying, especially with how I could not understand it in the beginning. Overall, it seemed to serve the Clock Crew well. I hope you had a great Clock Day.

[Sasuke shorts Part 3]

Very neat!

It just goes to show that people will simply never run out of ideas to show these characters off in funny scenarios. The coolest part was easily the beginning. It was hard to tell if this was supposed to be a comedy or not. It showed humorous things like Hidan and Asuma, but also showed serious things like Itachi beating up Sasuke. It was still fun to watch this and I could easily tell after awhile it was supposed to be more of a parody. The way the characters move and are designed is really well done too.

It was sweet with how you had no idea what was going to happen next. The zaniest once was probably when Rock Lee had a race with Sonic. It was so random how he just blew up at the end! I liked the cameo by Blockhead and the brief appearance of Sasuke in his demon form. The voices seemed to connect with the characters well too. I love how Kisame just glopes over Itachi.

I am happy to know that you liked it :D

[Blachnon & Flora EP 1]

Certainly decent

It seems like you were really working on making an experimental flash with this. I know it does not say that in the description but that is how I interrupted it. The only problem is that it is in fact fairly short with not that much point. I recognized the sound effect as being from that one bomb game with medals. This was certainly creative, as I had absolutely no idea what was going to show up next on the screen. The green main character kind of reminds me of Oogie Boogie.

It seems like you were vaguely going "Ghostbusters" with what his appearance was. I love how it transitions to a scene where the art is completely different. He did seem to really contrast with the background in the first half of the cartoon. It was nice to also know what he was thinking. It doesn't matter if a story makes any sense, as long as the animation is good.

thx :)

[Total Fucking Metal II]

Not terrible

I like how you (AbsintheClock) has Salvador Dali on your profile as this is something that would fit him perfectly! The layout of this was actually fairly decent, it just got repetitive. I suppose the song might eventually stop, but so far I am not sure. Oh yeah, I just found out it does in fact end it features a character from "Dexter's Labrotory". It is not the most rewarding thing, but I have definitley seen worse. The designs of the three playing guys are really original!

I like how they manage to show off a lot given their strange body frames. The one guy on the far right seemed especially good. It is just that you really need a lot more action if you want to make something that is geniunely good. I would love to see these guys move around in their environment. The ending was pretty unexpected, though.

[Adventures In Partying]

You had the decency...

...to describe everything you were saying in the author comments. That still, however, did not stop this from being fairly annoying. I have always learned that you need to have details show rather than tell if you truly want credit for it. It was also a bit annoying with how you waited so long to actually show us what the cartoon was! Yes, people, there is in fact a scene after he's done typing that shows some stuff he did. Even then, it's not that rewarding but it is something.

I wish the entire submission had simply been that and nothing else. Next time, please work on not repeating things you explicitly state in the author's comments. Congradulations on managing to have such a high rating on this. The most enjoyable part was probably hearing that good song at the end. Is this based on a true story?

[Valentine's Day Special]

How sadistic

It's great fun to look at some older stuff made by some of our favorite contributors. I hope you have a happy Valentine's Day or at least better than what this girl did. It's really creepy how he keeps that calm voice the entire time. I was expecting him to maybe not say what he was literally doing, but he did! That managed to make it all the more effective and truly shows how psychotic he is. This is a much more normal cartoon, in that everything can happen in real life making it more realistic and therefore more frightening.

In case anyone's wondering, here is what the sign in the background says. It's, "Work A Place Of Working You Must Work Now And Stop Reading This. Actually You Must Work Harder As A Punishment. So Sayeth I". I am not sure if I got the punctuaction right, but that is what the sign says. Your animation has always been good, too.

[Luigi's Wonderland]

Boogie wonderland!

My older brother was a big fan of disco when he was younger so this was great to hear. I don't think I even knew that the lyrics to that song were "Boogie Wonderland"! This was extremely random, but it's disco Luigi so everything works out in the end. I was expecting him to masturbate or something. Wow, I really have been on the Internet too long. The strongest part of this was probably the animation, especially given that this was not an action cartoon.

It was cool when those mushroom girls randomly started appearing. It was slow at first, because of how long he was watching the TV. I am so glad that was not the cartoon itself! This whole thing had that random humor that makes websites like this so good. It was great to see Luigi with sunglasses and a brown afro too.
