Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Chrono Trigger Unglued 19]

Educational indeed

I am still amazed at how you guys increase everything with each new entry. I really have to give credit to all the great voice actors who put so much work into this. It was kind of weird how you only seemed to do that after awhile. Every character has his or her own depth that works in so well, and it seems like a great place for someone like me to get started. This probably had the most of any subject, like the funniest bits and the parts with the most action. Of course, the sprite work and animation gags are great too.

Clovis15 responds:

Thank you again for your kind words, I always try to give my all during production even if not much is actually happening at all during the epiode. If you want to find out more about possibly voicing for CTU, please contact me on ICQ at: 69132774

[VeggieClock Collection 1]

Second one was better

It is disappointing not to see any variety in these submissions. I doubt this was intended to be the last CabbageClock movie, as there was not only another one made, but this even had the "1" in the title. Unless you were trying to make a joke like Mel Brooks' "The History Of The World, Part I". I am sure that song is apparently throwing a piggy on a hill. The drawings of you guys need to improve too. I can at least tell this was just a goofy Clock submission not intended to be all that good.

CabbageClock responds:

You are a goofy clock submission.

[VeggieClock Collection 2]

That was quite weird

I had no idea what that "Scarface" thing at the beginning had to do with "Scarface". Then again, I have never actually seen that movie or really any of the movies (or game) that were parodied here. I wish that they were not all the exact same thing. Everyone just talked a little and then went to live on the sun where they eventually died. The one with the cutest design was "Final Fantasy VII" which you guys dressed as Aeris and Cloud. I think the song said, "I'm gonna throw a piggy on the hill".

RadishClock responds:

Your analysis is 100% correct.

[Chrono Trigger Unglued 17]

Vast!

It takes awhile for the action to get going, but it is worth the wait! I especially love the little card game thing you have in the middle of it as it is just so fun. It was interesting to hear the guy at the beginning because most people probably have not seen the other entries. The graphics in this are really good and it is nice to add in some humor. This is pretty much the "Super Mario Bros. Z" of "Chrono Trigger". Sure, it does not have the most views, but at least it does well with the ratings.

Clovis15 responds:

This review contains quite possibly the nicest thing anyone has ever said about Chrono Trigger Unglued, it is an unbelievably immense honor to have my adopted work mentioned in the same sentence as Super Mario Bros Z.

[Little Fighter Alpha Ch.9]

Definitley the best

While it is disappointing the next one is taking so long, at least you left us with this. It easily has the best fight scenes and the best animation. I have always admired this animation because it seems like a weird combination between regular flash animation and sprites. It is really just a hard thing to put into words. I could sense some "Dragonball Z" influence in here, not that this made it any less good. Speaking of which, I could not help but be reminded of Nappa by the strong bald guys.

MaxR responds:

Thanks, I try to make the next chapter better than the last. Whch unfortunately was why Ch10 was such a delay. I redid the whole intro fight twice before changing software and reworking the fight there. There definitely is DBZ influence in this series, but so was the original game (Little Fighter 2) where this game is from I think.

[Big Boss Mini-Movie Mania]

Naked?

I really could not understand the appeal of this cartoon at all, because it just had so little going on. I did not know why you called Snake naked when he is obviously not. I also thought it was strange to have it titled like this when Big Boss was not even in this at all. I guess I was looking more for a sort of minigame with it being about a boss. Next time, you should also work on your animation skills, which need improvement. It was simply too short and did not even work out to a good punchline.

Binyom responds:

Go away and play Metal Gear Solid 3 now. Prick.

[Weight of the World]

Good for the most part

It is weird how I am a fan of Evanescence, but I have never heard this song before. I thought it was kind of funny how the woman seemed to be just falling down and had a dumb expression on her face. It did get better because it had a more graceful tone once she gained her wings. The animation is still very good by most standards. I would definitley fight for a woman who was wearing see through clothes like that blatantly in her underwear. The theme was not the most original, but it was executed well.

GhoulRa responds:

Thank you for the review. Be sure to check out "Lacrymosa."

[Did You Hear That? vol 2]

Great stuff!

It is amazing to find out how many things you can do with just the same audio file. It is especially interesting to note that the source audio is pretty random and silly in itself. I think my favorite would have to be turtleco. It was also great to see work by some people I recognized, such as LazyMuffin who is as absurd as ever. Every cartoon was different and stylistic in its own right. I am just so glad you guys still managed to mix the styles together in such common ground as a clip without even any dialogue (though it probably would have been less creative if you had included dialogue).

Graeme responds:

I love reading reviews like this. From someone who truely appreciated the collab, and what we were trying to accomplish with it! Thanks for that!
Also, I asked everyone to not use any dialouge because that directs the storyline far too much

[The Hard Goodbye - CC]

Overall good

I know little about "Sin City" so it is a bit difficult to understand some of the jokes. Overall, it was enjoyable especially with how it knew how to be silly and serious at times. I knew that was going to happen to StrangeClock after what SteakClock said. While I do not fully understand the thing, I can still appreciate the nice animation. It seems like it was trying to give a really deep message, but maybe it was not. SteakClock seems to be giving a great performance, if that is even possible for a cartoon character.

biblo responds:

He's a seasoned thespian

[ClockDay Is Saved]

Neat-o!

Having just gotten back from seeing "Pirahnas 3D" I can now fully apprecaite something that truly revels in its utter insanity. I loved how one of the clocks appeared to be high at the end which was what caused all this in the first place. How did LeekClock recover from the gunshot wound so fast? The animation was cool in this and I laughed at the scene where SirClock sees his world high. His name makes you think of something dignfied so it is great fun to see him shoot people up, or clocks up. Happy Clock Day, SirClock!

Creatus responds:

Thank you, thank you! Yes there is indeed irony that goes along with the persona that was formed for SirClock. He is a junkie who wears a suit.
