Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Dark Souls General]

Great stuff

I still think the best thing about this is the logo at the beginning. It's wonderfully well done. It's great that you can do so much good experimenting with such a nice set of animation for everything. I didn't quite get most of the jokes because I don't think I've played this game. This reminded me of the Awesome series. While not as good as that, it really worked because it was just so great to see so many jokes going on.

It was fairly long for a parody. It really feels like you put a lot of hard work and effort into it. While it was fairly hard to follow, there was defintley a nice amount of detail put into it. I also really liked how the voices worked so well. It gives you a great sense that there was tons of nice emotion put into this well done parody.

ScottFalco responds:

Hey thanks man! And yes I love my logo, it's one of my favorite pieces I've done. Glad you enjoyed the animation

[Love on the Cliff]

That was weird

Well, first the guy runs his son over the cliff and then they appear on the cliff? I guess I shouldn't try to make sense out of something comical like this. It actually looked like it was going to be something serious at first. I had no idea it was going to be about being gay. You should expect to see that on the Internet, of course. The music really set the mood off with how it was so pleasant while the humor was so dark.

That guy was so insane, I'm glad his pain lived on at the end. It seems like he was beating his son up and then fell off the cliff. This was a weird cartoon because the scenario was so mundane yet it got insane so quickly. I of course love it and the voices really show how funny it is. The animation, while not great, isn't bad.

CooliSushi responds:

Lol my humor is weird but thanks for the review :D

[Goodnight Sweet Prince]

Eh, what?

I was thinking there was going to be some twist ending, but there wasn't. In fact, I couldn't really understand the appeal of this that much. It was weird how the story was just everyone dying. Wow, this is one of the darkest things I've seen here and it seemed to serve little purpose. I do have to give you credit for creating some great animation. You rarely see black and white animation. The way the child cries is also good.

I especially think you have a great voice. You really do seem like you are telling a fairy tale, as the cartoon is itself about that. I guess if you're a fan of dark stuff, you have to give this a try! I was thinking it was going to be a reference to Michael Jackson given its title. I guess the moral is, it's better to not go to sleep than to die.

DieterTheuns responds:

Thanks for the review. The voice was codeblackhayate's though.

[The Cookie Seed]

Great!

I really have no idea about the previous installments of this series, but it's just great to see this. I think its strongest point is probably how the animation is so good. You really get the sense that you're in this adorable little world. I love the cute little blue raccoon. I really like how his dream came true. I was expecting a cartoon that had cute little animals in it wasn't going to be all that realistic, just heartwarming.

I like how it looks like it's a giant cookie in the beginning. You go on to see how cool this cartoon turns out to be. I also think the sounds are freaking adorable, particularly when the raccoon gets sad. It seems like you were influenced by Cuboy or Minecraft with how some of the trees are designed to be all cube looking. There are many nice styles used here.

inkbyte responds:

Wow, thanks for that amazing review! This is the type of attention to detail we gave to this cartoon and we wanted it to appeal to the senses (we're still working on the smell, it's a toughie)!

[Walking the Walk]

I bet it never ends

It's stuff like this that makes me proud to be a giant animation fan. The best thing about this is how each and every character has a different and specific design. It's amazing how the colors are so bright. Everyone just walks around in such a fantastically goofy fashion. The music is also pretty good and I really think the music's title is funny. I could just go on all day describing how awesome these guys look.

If you look closely, you'll find that some of them are not even animals. There's a bath tub and an airplane going around at one point. You even get to see some animals or creatures that appear to fully be created from your own imagination. While it has no plot, it certainly doesn't need one. The tone is fairly cheerful, if non-sequitor.

TheBoogley responds:

I never knew you were a giant! It all makes sense now :)

[Infinity Blad]

That's funny

I guess those guys have a lot of teen pregnancies in their lives or something? I am not familiar with this video game series, but certainly appreciate good humor. What also made this was how good the animation was. You normally wouldn't expect something to look so good when it's played for laughs. I especially love the facial expressions of the guy he is fighting. I am not familiar with this, so I do not know the characters' names.

The music was also nice and really set the mood. The only thing I didn't like was that it would have been cool to show the fight. Then again, that might have ruined the joke. It's great how you still have that nice voice. I can understand why you, RicePirate, are so prolific in nearly everything you do, given how popular you are.

RicePirate responds:

Thanks for the review :)

[Evil Dead Ejaculation]

Didn't get the joke

I think the original joke about raping yourself wasn't bad. What I didn't like about this was that there didn't seem to be any punchline. I was thinking you would make something with how you said the word "F*ck me" and Ash was just talking about raping himself. The guy looks like Napoleon Dynamite. Another weak element was that the animation was not good at all. I wish it was done in a more modern style.

The voices were not that bad, but this just didn't seem to amount to anything. I'm sure the intentions were good, but it didn't pay off well. I thought it was going to be a parody of the scene where the eyeball comes out of the woman's eye. That would have been material for something related to ejaculation. I guess that might have been too gross.

Psychopath responds:

It has two punchlines, "and even though I said no, I knew, that I wanted it." and "I know you didn't, but I wanted you to."

What do you mean by "I wish the animation were done with a more modern style"? There are two styles of animation in Flash; Motion Tweening and Frame by Frame, oh and fuck the former.

I know he looks like Napoleon Dynamite, I forgot what Theodore Raimi was supposed to look like. All I could remember was that he had glasses and red hair. Sadly, I will not be replacing the artwork anytime soon as Theodore Raimi is not as funny looking as Napoleon Dynamite.

I know the animation blows, that's because this was my first Flash movie, which is the reason why I'm the process of polishing it over.
