Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[CC - Making a Flash Movie]

Not terrible

I thought this was a fairly mediocre submission, and I have certainly seen a lot lazier stuff submitted for Clock Day. Well, you did miss Clock Day a bit, but you still managed to get a high score with it. I thought the animation in this was fairly good. Recursion is just something that I have always been fascinated by, so this did interest me a little. Next time, yeah, you probably should have more going on and make more of a punchline. It was a pretty good idea, just not executed in the best way.

Tails-Lock responds:

I had an idea for a movie this time, but I didn't have the time. I think I woke up pretty darn late on that day and as the submission date shows, I was 9 minutes late submitting it. I truly had no time to make anything better. I really wish I had made more effort though. I can't seem to get motivation to make a movie unless the deadline is like 3 or so hours away though and then I suddenly start flashing like mad.

[Pencilmation 15]

Best!

I think that this is the best entry in the entire "Pencilmation" series, because it is the most colorful (in both sense of the word). You tried to make something beyond your normal cartoons and really tried to make a world for the character to live in. The farting sheep was a very funny touch. You completely give your character depth, especially with his eyebrows. At the end, it seems like you finally gave the little guy a break.

...or not.

[SuperVillain V]

Good entry

This was not great, but it was still pretty fun to watch because it still uses the fantastic animation. Were these things all made stop-motion on construction paper because it certainly looks like that? The plot is good, especially with how Supervillian keeps finding new ways to kill people and generally terrorize. I especially like how it starts with a mundane setting. Another memorable scene was when the people were eaten by the sharks. I liked how the guy with the spike in his face just looked bored.

[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.
