Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Pleasure Island 3]

300 Walruses!

The animation and voice work is as impressive as ever. I do kind of feel this was not one of the best entries, as I was kind of turned off (no pun intended) by the guys making out. It helps that I am a huge fan of zaniness and that is what this entire thing is. The funniest part was probably when the scientist was explaining how the monster was created. I was expecting a "Shoop Da Whoop" joke when he was firing his laser. It is interesting to have a three part story in this ridiculous series.

Sexual-Lobster responds:

i have no idea what shoop da whoop is, i just think lasers are cool.

[Zelda Files: Chapter 6]

Not again, Link!

The best thing about this was probably how good the sprites were. Having become more familiar with your work, I know what to expect. One thing that was annoying was that scream that kept going whenever someone was mad or something. I think these comic book formats are pretty neat, and it seems like you should make a webcomic. My biggest complaint was that there was just not a strong emphasis on story or humor. I expect more action or at least a big punchline.

peltos responds:

the next zelda files is gonna be animated so i hope thats gonna work :P

[Resident Hall Evil]

Music removed?

It is always interesting to see live-action stuff on Newgrounds given how rare it is. My problem with this is that I did not understand how it was supposed to be about Resident Evil at all. I mean, I saw it in the background but I do not recall seeing any zombies or anything. It was weird to see you guys talk but without your mouths moving. The best part about this is probably the acting. The characters seem to know what they are doing; they are just not placed in the best scenarios to play it out.

Fro responds:

Yes the author comments say I had to remove the music because it brought it over 20 MB.

You've obviously never played Resident Evil 1 because the whole scene was basically a parody from a section of the game. And the characters don't have their mouth moves because that's how it is in the game.

[HOUSE M.D. observes you]

Nice tribute

I am reminding of the next Clock Day coming as you obviously submitted this on Clock Day. I was kind of impressed at how groovy the music was along with the really nice effects. I do not watch "House", so I really have no idea what this joke is, if there even is any. I could have sworn I saw a car drive by, but then it never came by again. This has to got to be an infinite loop, so I must have, I don't know, done something wrong. It does not look like it took much work to make, but okay for a loop.

Punisher responds:

That was actually a car driving in your house.
everything ok?

[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.

Short-Factor responds:

[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!
