Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[L4D: A matter of time]

Nice

While not your best work, this was still fun to watch because the animation was good. I would normally reveal in my comments what the newspaper said, but there was so much, I doubt I would have room. I was not sure if it was a music video or not at first. It was cool to see the design of the zombies, particulary at first. The story was pretty typical, but as a big zombie fan, those things work just fine for me. The best part was probably when that one zombie was punched at the end.

[Triangleclock n Greyclock]

Maybe the best?

I was never a fan of these kinds of cartoons myself, so you guys really nailed this one. The best part is how it completely suits a user named BizarroTomFulp. I mean, these shapes themselves are actually more detailed than most of the things used here anyway. It is completely true, a guy who is not a member of the staff could not get a award like a member would. It is great people point out how things work around here and the hypocrisy. I guess it is all in good fun, both this cartoon and the other submissions.

[Whats better than B?]

I knew it!

I just knew that the answer to that question was going to be the letter "C"! Of course, if you are going by letter grades, a better example would probably be "A". Then again, you guys did kind of subvert it by saying C was not really better than B. I guess we could go on all day debating over what letter is better. I hope you had a nice Clock Day and next time, could you please try to use the much more clear typing stuff for that? Again, even StrawberryClock's original "B" was like that, but maybe this did take more effort.

Alex-Cortes responds:

Actually you'd be surprised how long this took to make, since this was my actual first submission on NG. >_>

Meh, maybe next time I could try do something much better next time that doesn't have crummy quality. Still at the time when I submitted this the moment seemed right. Thanks for the review though.

[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.

AGG-ArtistGamerGal responds:

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