Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Flimbo's Cake]

Is a lie!

It is nice how you admit that this was not intended to be anything special. I can certainly tell that this was only made in a day as the animation really needs work. The main problem with this is that there is just no final joke or ironic punchline. I do not know about this "Flimbo" if he is supposed to be a recurring character. Cakes are always delicious, but the main problem is that there is nothing out of the ordinary here. I did like the color effects so next time work on having more of a story or at least a joke.

eat-at-joes-guy responds:

This was primarily a college project, introducing us to flash. This explains why it's not story heavy, but there's enough here to be something watchable. Thanks for the review.

[what is this i dont even]

I don't know either!

I thought this was a game at first because there just seemed to be so little that was happening at all. What can I say? It was in fact a really creative cartoon and I can understand why it being front paged surprised even you. I mean, it definitley has a lot of surrealism for something with really no point at all. There is not much else to say as really nothing happened except the things that I told you. Oh wait, it was very unexpected and very weird to have David Spade being credited with everything at the end.

[Glotion Sickness]

Now that is surreal

I liked this one but I think it was not quite as good as some other ones. I think the best part is how just freaking amazing and trippy everything is! The animation is as great as ever and is simply so good I can never stop saying good things about it. Another cool part was the silly graphics that were used in the commercial. I think you could have used some more punchlines but it still worked pretty well. It was at least a great way to show how creative you could get in a comedy series like this.

DestructoBox responds:

We wanted to try something a little different this time ;)

[Manta Ray Chase]

First review!

It is amazing how you managed to have such a high score without even getting a single review! Anyway, the best parts about this was that there were a lot of parts that were pretty funny. I was expecting the manta ray to use the shark skeleton as his new one, as he lost his old skeleton. The funniest part was probably when the skeleton swam away. The animation in this was decent, but the weakest part was how it was not that special. I suggest having a more unique style and some more action.

iceimp responds:

yeah I have no idea how it got no review really I don't think anyone really considered reviewing it because I believe it was submitted on a NG holiday.
Anyway I have to admit I enjoyed making this cartoon more then I do watching it.
I had a short time period to create it in class so I was limited and also wish I had added more (or had touched up on it) since the whole background was rendered to be played in a video game. Anyway thanks for the review. I think im quitting the Paint brush tool though I really don't have a steady hand.

[Maximillion Bagsworth]

Quite great!

I was really impressed at how good the animation was in this and how original it was. It could have used some more jokes, but still pretty funny. I love it how Bagsworth's mustache just jumps up and down whenever he talks, even when it is not part of his face. His monocle reminded me of another cartoon here "Unforgotten Realms" and made me think about how that cartoon also featured two monocles. And wouldn't you know it, this has the same thing! The animation is great and so is the voice work.

CaseyAnimates responds:

Thanks Ericho, glad ya' liked, old bean!
Keep it up with the reviews, man!

[Billy Mays The Birth]

Went on a bit too long

I thought it was weird how it kept going on after he was born because of the title. The "birth" of course refers a lot more to when he first became a salesman and stuff. I think the best thing was how good the voice acting was. I seriously thought you were using stock footage of Billy Mays' voice until he started talking about the umbilical cord and everything. Another funny part was how the narrator said everything so silly. While it was a little hard to follow and could have been shorter, still good.

thejuiceizloose responds:

Don, the voice of Billy can be pretty spot on with many of his impressions and he took to Billy Mays with relative ease. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[Saigo No Shigoto]

One of your best!

I am quite surprised this does not have a higher score as it is truly great! I could of course tell that you were heavily influenced by "TheFinal Task" one of our classics. While this may not get that popular, it is definitley worth checking out because of the great animation. I would have been satisifed if it had simply stopped with the first fight! The artwork was beautiful, especially the fight scenes with how the blood got on the sword and everything. It has everything you could want in a ninja cartoon.

XtremelyVenomous responds:

i noticed u've been watching my work. thanks for ur support. i'll admit.. this isnt my greatest work. it was in fact rushed. but even if a few viewers still appreciate what i do, newgrounds isnt the place it once was.

[Larkmart - Interview]

Not with that shirt, you're not

I was hoping that this would be about a guy who was actually getting an interview for Larkmart. It was still pretty funny, especially with lines like his torpedo leaving the sub. I like how that guy looks like David Blaine and his arm can turn into a hot dog. I would know how difficult it can be to get a job in today's economy. I think this was one of the lesser entries, maybe because there could have been a bit more action. It was of course great how you referenced Newgrounds in the list of websites.

aasimpy responds:

thanks for watching, ericho, and for taking the time to write up a review. in an upcoming episode, there's more action and more mayhem - so keep watching!
