Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Mad Mad Mario 2]

Not as good as the first

...but it was still fun to watch mostly because the animation is so good. I believe that it does loop again with no sound after the first try. Anyway, it was again funny to hear Mario talk in that ridiculously angry voice constantly. I would like to point out that he does not actually hit his head on the blocks, if you watched the games closely, he actually punches them. I am glad you talked about where those things come from in the games. I also love the shoutout with Mario saying his catch phrase at the end!

[A paedophile story]

WOW

I loved how this entire thing seemed to be a perfect tribute to Spumco animation. It was amazing and unbelievable from start to finish, and I thought it was fantastic! For some reason, this appears to not be listed on the flashes you have submitted. Anyway, I thought it was going to be an infinite loop showing how pedophilia never stops, but it was actually fairly optimistic. Hopefully, we can end it in real life without giant rants mauling us to death. This is a wonderful piece of art done without dialogue.

[Zelda- Link and the Pig]

Better than I thought!

It took a short time to load, so I assumed it was just going to be something really short. It turned out to have great animation and a really funny story to it! Call me morbid, but the funniest part was probably how the pig kept crushing people with blood everywhere. The gay bracelet was also pretty funny and quite unexpected. I could have sworn I saw another flash with a similar premise, but it was definitley different than this. I thought the boy in the water was going to be crushed by the pig or frozen, but he was not and still died.

ArtistGamerGal responds:

Animating blood flying everywhere is pretty fun, call me sadistic but don't knock it 'til you try it!

[Scarecrows]

Wonderful animation!

This really looks like something that should be at a film festival as a short film as it is good. My only complaint is that it was weird how the crow was not flying away from the monster. This was still a very cute story because you could just notice how adorable it was. I like the great range of detail that was shown with the background and everything. I almost thought that weird monster at the beginning was supposed to be a scarecrow. BTW, the title onscreen in "Scarecrow", not "Scarecrows".

Kaloian responds:

scarecrow was take I think when this was put up and scarecrow makes more sense. You were right the first time as they are both scarecrows but it doesn't matter to me really as long as he reads as a scary monster threat thing and the crow doesn't fly away because he was the one hurt in the beginning, which is also why he lands there in the first place. I realize this is a bit vague and that is my failing in this film. Aw well, bigger and better things.

[Press Start: Lament]

Good as always

While not much action, this was a great episode of the series because there was just so much effort put into it. I love the way all of the villians are put together, and how I recognize them as being parodies of video game villians. It's especially funny to see how they interact and play off of each other. It is fantastic you were able to get celebrities who actually did voices on the video games to do this. I guess Egoraptor is now a voicing celebrity with his video game work. The funniest part was the Sagat parody.

[[2010] REBOOT 12]

Rina-chan again!

This was one of the strangest things I have ever seen on Newgrounds, at least in terms of a flash with a story! I guess I would understand it more if I saw all the previous parts. There were just so many things going on, it was hard to keep track! I had no idea who was supposed to be the good guy or the bad guy as everyone seemed corrupt or scared of someone else! However, this was great because the animation was absolutely flawless. Given its insanity, it's also great for a psychological study.

[Prostitute Mickey 3]

Great addition

It was great to see Donald Duck appearing and for that matter, Daffy Duck. These are some of my favorite things on Newgrounds, although I did think the cartoon was a bit too low. I love how pitiful Mickey sounds and how stupid Goofy sounds. Donald just looks hilarious with a voice box in a wheelchair missing his legs. When these characters swear, it's just funny in itself because really how the voices are funny. I laughed at the part where Mickey said that "Weekend At Bernie's II" was a bad movie.

[The Post-it Knight]

Very creative!

I thoroughly enjoyed this because it used a completely different kind of stop-motion. It took a little bit to get used to, but it was fantastic overall. I like how it was also a really standard fairy tale story, and it reminds me of that movie "Tangled "I saw last night. You obviously put a ton of effort into this and I am very glad. One highlight was how you made the knight smaller and smaller in the pictures to show him going off into the cave. It is a submission that gives you a true sense of wonder and awe.
