Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Pickilow the Plop 7-9]

I'll review each one again

It sounds like you were trying to imitate the name of the Dragonball Z character, Piccolo. Of course, he's named after an instrument anyway.

6/10 - Woah, Robo Tails looks awesome! While the effects were not much, at least there was some action going on. Now I can remember that the ghost's name is Puco.
5/10 - This one was just incomprehensible. I guess I should have read the beginning the text the whole way through.
3/10 - Sand? It looks more like urine. At least you had that awesome Sonic music.

BanglaBoy96 responds:

"Pickilow" is named after the instrument yes, I never watch DBZ so I didn't know of that.

*Puca, is the name of the ghost, It's Irish for "Ghost"

Unrine? that would have been a better idea ;D

Thanks for the review

[The Nyan Invasion]

Too cute!

I have heard of this Nyan Cat meme before but not here on Newgrounds. I simply could not hate something that has such an adorable appearance! This flash is actually done pretty well as the details are nice as he smashes through the soldiers. I have seen enough of these guys to notice how they die. It's so adorable to see this little guy cause so much destruction! The music was also great as well.

I do wish that there was some sound in it besides the music. I also did not like how it seemed to be too short! It's still good for a really quick laugh and it's nice to look at. I also like the goofy sound effects at the end and how the camera focuses on Nyan Cat. I am not the biggest fan of Pop Tarts, but if anyone could make me a fan, it would be this kitty.

OddboyAnim responds:

Thanks ^_^. my first real critique. Yeah, about the sound I was gonna add sound, but when ever I try, My flash starts crashing. so yeah. but thanks anyway.

[L'Amour de Rasputin]

Eh, I've seen better

This was interesting for a really short cartoon but there was not much else to recommend. I liked how you put it in the style of an old black and white thing. I think that was what movies were the time that Rasputin was alive himself. I could not quite understand the joke with the shaved beard. This seemed to be something Russian, but the words appeared to be done in French. Still, it was a bit unique.

I find it odd you would want this to be in the "Noir" section. Apart from the black and white usage, I didn't see how it was much of a noir. In fact, I don't even think there were many noirs that were also silent films. It was interesting how even the advertising in this was black and white! The animation was good, it just needed more action.

Battosai810 responds:

This was a surrealist piece, which is why it was in (Googled) French. The beard thing was just weird for the sake of weird; it was a long time ago so I don't know if there was any other reason.

I actually don't think most of Newgrounds' "sections" have been updated in years. I don't know if it's just something that got left by the wayside or what.

Sorry you didn't enjoy this cartoon too much; try watching some of my other, more conventional work. I'm better at making funny cartoons than surrealist ones!

[Twilight New Moon parody]

Edward!

I am not a guy who hates "Twilight" but I have to admit that was the least in the series. Anyway, what made this cool was just because of how amazingly silly it was! Every second of this submission there is something ridiculous going on. I love how you portrayed Bella as this whiny woman who went insane over everything. She had the funniest, stupidest voice ever and the animation was perfect. Every action the characters took was exaggerated to the perfect extent.

It does have a feel of dumbness in it, but it's so hilariously bad it's hard to dislike it. The best animation was probably whenever Edward had a rainbow on his skin. It was funny how Jacob seemed to have like sixty abs on his chest. Then again, I would not know the exact number of abs a person has. A zombie is really more necrophilia.

Veinom responds:

That was the best and longest comment I got in NG and utube! And you can use words in a great way, they made me smile XD
This movie doesnt touch everyone, it was made completely for myself and needs a special kind of audience to like it. Im glad it touched you and yes it was made to be silly and dumb, because that's how the movie was through my eyes :)
Jay did a great job doing the all the voices and little rainbows on Edward actually exists in the blueray version of twilight, just not so.. exaggerated!

[Teksi - Part One]

First project?

Dude, this was great for a first project! I am guessing that "teksi" is Japanese for taxi and it even sounds like it now that I really say it in my head. The coolest thing was just how slick this animation was. It's a great innovative style that is truly unique and your own. The only disappointing part was when it ended as I wanted to see more! It's nice that you are continuing to submit flashes.

I really liked seeing all the sketches you had in the credits. I wish we could have seen some of those characters in the actual cartoon! I bet this took so long to make you simply didn't have enough time for the second part. Everything in this just seemed so real and authentic. You are doing great and welcome to this site.

mascerrado responds:

Thank you very much!

[MisadventuresofSherlock]

Fairly funny

The main thing I did not like about this was how long it was. If you are going to make something with that length, please put more than some screenshots for the story. I guess it's better than having the same image for the entire time. What I really liked were the accents and how out of the ordinary it was for these characters to sound so vulgar. The funniest part was easily at the beginning when they were listing the drugs.

We have so many words for them we would make the eskimos jealous. I think these are actual pictures from the books as they seem quite authentic. It's nice to know people still do parodies of classic stuff. You really didn't know what was going to pop up next with this. I thought it would be over when Sherlock said they were done with the case!

StupidlyEPIC responds:

The screenshots are just pages out of the sherlock holmes book. I was looking through it and made some silly scenarios up from them. If there were more pictures RayG could have used, I'm sure he would have. Thanks for praising the voice acting though. I appreciate it.

[Leo & Satan IV]

Not bad at all

The creepiest part was probably when Satan licked his fingers in such a sexual way. You can never make something good by using the word "lubricant". The coolest thing about this was how it showed Leo escaping from Hell. Most of the time, characters just die and they come back to life with no explanation. You actually expanded on the explanation that you did have! It was great how Satan was freaking out over the video game because it was so realistic.

It's hard to say if Satan is supposed to be good in this. He doesn't seem evil most of the time, just, well, insane. Good thing Leo is already in Hell so he's not going to have to go back there as Satan squashed him. I love the T-shirt at the beginning. The socks line is probably the most memorable in the entire series and I liked the variety of music.

Oney responds:

thanks dude

[Pickilow Episode 10]

Fairly random

This was good on some levels because it did seem a little different than most of your stuff. Wow, you (BanglaBoy96) sure made a ton of submissions! Anyway, I did not see this as being offensive or anything so I'll give you that. I also did not turn the speakers up because it didn't seem like it was going to be anything that great. In fact, I think I heard it pretty straight. You could work a lot on animation as it was far from high quality.

It might have helped me if I saw the other episodes and I think I did see a couple others. It just seems like the character Pickilow doesn't have many good qualities. Some of the designs (especially the green guy) are kind of funny. It looks like you have done good work for yourself for making an entire season. Better animation often works.

BanglaBoy96 responds:

Thanks! :) I'll try harder in future!

[LAWYER UP!]

One of your best

This was interesting because it seemed to be the first one in the series that did not take place in their living quarters. This allows them to interact with a lot more characters. I was hoping he would say, "This ice cream gives me a headache" after being hit by the saw. I love how random everything is. It's like the saw cut created a giant pimple on his head that oozed out pus. While pus is not the best thing it did wrap this up nicely. Yeah, his head does kind of look like a penis.

It was weird how you paired up an Italian guy and a black guy. I guess it makes no less sense than any other odd pairing up. It was great how all of you voice actors worked hard to put distinction into the character's voices. It's not until halfway through that you understand the title. I actually like this intro as much as the old one.

DestructoBox responds:

I think our only other fully NON apartment based episode is "Bum Nuts." We love doing episodes outside of the apartment, but they definitely take longer to make. We try to add new scenery occasionally so that we can save time on SOME re use materials. Bigger episodes like this are definitely rewarding once they're done though.

Thanks for the review!

[Quest of the Manwhore]

Very messed up!

This has to be the most surreal thing you have ever submitted to this website! Seeing as how I love surrealism, I have no choice but to fall in love with this. Okay, I definitley do not mean I am falling in love with the manwhore. This was great because there were so many references. There was RaptorJesus, then there was a reference to the song "California Girls" and it's pretty dang disturbing how Fernando looks at you. You just have no idea what is going to happen next.

I believe it is an infinite loop, but it's actually fairly long for an infinite loop. It's the kind of one where you can keep on watching like the stuff by Weebl. His voice is wonderfully deep and fits his total insanity. The visual effects were great, particulary the scenes with the rainbows. At least he doesn't have crabs anymore.

Sexual-Lobster responds:

thanks v much ericho, glad you liked it!
