Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[A Fable II Experience 2]

I had no idea it was an actual game

This was tons of fun to watch and it kind of reminded me of the "Larry" series by JAZZA. This was great because it was called a "short" so I thought it was just going to be that joke in the beginning. It is always great to see a person put more effort into something. I especially like how the deadpan hero talks so much and defeats every problem easily. People should make more cartoons where the hero simply shoots the villian like that. The animation was good and I found it to be funnier than the first one.

WhiteLightning responds:

Goal reached, I can die peacefully now :)

[Oney's Birffday Bash]

Happy birffday!

The first thing with "Leo & Satan" was great because it looks like you guys borrowed the exact sprites from him! It was so great to see a flash celebrating someone's birthday the day it came out. You (Oney) are one of the most loved people on this website, so this only fits. I liked the game at the middle where you keep having to put penises in your mouth. It seems like people should be making more tributes/parodies of "Leo & Satan" given how good and popular it is. I also liked the one where his brain exploded.

psychicpebbles responds:

haha thanks :D

[ZF Request: Ruby's Fight]

Good start

This was pretty good because you did deliver exactly what you said you would in the author's comments. However, this main fault was that it was too short to enjoy thoroughly. It does really seem like something that would be in the "Five Swords Adventures" series but not that much. The fact this character is called either Red or Ruby keeps reminding me of the pokemon games. This is a nice action scene and it should be in your cartoons. I also like how you guys also keep that classic Zelda music.

peltos responds:

i thought exactly the same thing. it does sound like a pokemon game XD
and thx for the comment

[Zelda Files:Hidden Files1]

Quite good

I liked this because it has some of the best animation you guys have worked on so far. The funniest part was definitley when Navi slept with Link and she made that squeaky little voice trying to get Link to come back for her. I like the use of voices, although the text on the bottom works fine too. I imagine Link would have gotten around some with all those girls he hangs out with. You also seemed to make Link appear in character pretty well. I am not sure if this is going to be an ongoing story or not.

peltos responds:

this one and the next 2 hidden files have no meaning or a continued story.
these are just some animations we want to make because its almost 2011

[DigitalPrison]

For medal points!

I liked this cartoon because I think all of the people were on the bus at some point. It feels as though you were trying to imitate the older animation but it still managed to be good. I liked the message you were sending as well. My only complaint was that I was a bit disappointed it seemed to end like that. I would have loved to see it go on further so we could talk more about isolationism and the consequences of our actions. The only guy I can't find is Jesus, and I do know it can be hard to find Jesus in your life.

wynand responds:

Haha very metaphorical person aren't you =) I'm glad you liked it =). Well he could have put his iviewer back on and become isolated from society once more, or he could abandon his iviewer completely and be happy.

The ending isn't important, since the choice is yours to make. But as long as your thinking about it, my job is done =)

Thanks for watching =)

[[CD10] How About I..]

That's gross

I have to wish you a happy Clock Day even though this did not have anything to do with Clock Day (as far as I know). The best part about this was probably the parrot. It was a little cute to just see him rocking his head back and forth and back and forth over and over. Why would anyone want to slap sh*t? I find that would get your hands dirty. Next time, I suggest that you put in a background as I believed this lacked one (or at least it didn't have any color) but nonetheless it was pretty faithful to the style of the Clock Crew.

Punisher responds:

Rate this review as useless. [-]
You are an idiot.

[Goremaster II]

Very good

I KNEW that guy was going to be Mario from the beginning. Come on, what other popular culture icon eats mushrooms like that? This was really cool and a great way to be introduced to this series, as it could be enjoyed by a person like me who was unfamiliar with it. It was cool how you made an art shift with Princess Peach and Luigi. The battles themselves were really epic and stuff. Geez, I hate to imagine what would happen if you used a plunger with that much force on an actual toilet.

CaptainHicks responds:

Kaboom!

[ZF - Halloween Special]

Not bad

While I am not the biggest fan of your work, this was pretty fun to watch. A pity I had to catch it after Halloween, but maybe you can make an earlier Thanksgiving one. The end was pretty weird, as I do not think a skeleton can rape anyone as it has no penis? The strongest point of this was the sprite work as everything was as authentic as most other Zelda flashes. I thought it was funny for him to dress as Zelda because Zelda is the title character after all. The music was pretty good in this too.

peltos responds:

thx for the detailed explanation and for the compliments

[The Clown Prince Part1]

The animation was good

It was interesting to see how the series started out and it looks like it started out pretty good. At first, I was unable to see anything, so I thought maybe the flash had been removed. Luckily, I reopened it and saw it. The animation is really stylistic but it does look like it could have been made at a smaller picture for better image resolution. The sound did not seem to sync up well for me, so you should probably get that looked at. It was a bit hard to follow with the story, but it did seem like an original concept.

JetLong responds:

cheers, yes i dont know why flash does this to me, the sound is totally in sync on my computer but when i export it onto newgrounds it screws up! happened my other submissions too, wasnt happy.

[Un Millier de Bouteilles]

4.40?

Congradulations on getting such a high score on your first submission here, friend! You obviously have talent as I was very impressed by the style of this cartoon. It seemed like something you would see at a film festival. While a bit too short, it was great you did this for your class and I am sure you got the utmost credit for it! It was hard to tell what message the cartoon was trying to send to me. Was it about isolationism or maybe I should just appreciate it for exploring a person's fantasy.

Suncomes responds:

I'm always so surprised to see new comments on this post. Thanks!

Your right for the message. It's mostly about the fact that we're always a bit isolated, even in a big crowd. It was roughly my own understanding of "Message in a bottle" from The Police.

Also, thanks for the festival thing. This part of your comment touched me, really.
Hope you'll go see Rosie, my other one. Also, don't miss my next flash, wich should be posted during the following month.

Have a good day!
