Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[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!

[Battle in the Sky]

Very nice!

I could tell that you were heavily influenced by Vinnie Veritas. Anyway, this was great because it went in a completley different direction than what I thought it would! At first I thought it was just going to be a mundane flash about doing public service work or something. It really surprised me how it got into a giant space battle! I love the animation in this, especially the design of the red eyed tentacle monster appearing on top of the ship. Everyone here just seems to be really pleasant.

Pablo-M responds:

lolwut public service? haha
Thank you!

[Spider Powers 6]

You're a d*ck, Willy

It is so funny to see Pedobear in a flash animation, although I did not even know there was more than one "Pedobear". The weirdest thing is how he did not even attack the guy who mentioned the six year old boy. This was completely unexpected and considering this is a series about spider powers, that is saying something. The animation is great as always. The notion of stick figures randomly transforming into women, spider people or pedophile bears is always funny. I always wanted to hear the voice of a Pedobear.

just2pale responds:

Thank you for the review..

And yes the bear now has a voice.

[Geoweasel Episode 16]

Pretty funny

I keep seeing these flashes on Newgrounds, so I figured I should check one of them out. It was a good way to be introduced to the series, even if it did go on a bit too long. It was still funny how the head even acknowledged that. The best part was the beginning when the guy made up the plan and then got hit with a blue bat by the transsexual (or whatever). The animation is really goofy, it looks like some characters eyes are their nostrils! All in all, it had typical humor found in a cartoon like this.

Geoweasel responds:

This episode actually was done with the intent of making it a reintroduction to the series, so it's great that you saw this one first, haha. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for the honest review!

[Box Lunch]

Destructobox!

As a short, I think this kind of was one of your lesser entries. It was still fun to watch simply because the graphics are so good with everything being shaped like a box but still having depth to it. I especially like how you put a live-action scene in it for the grilled cheese sandwich. That guy's joke at the beginning about the d*ck turning into a vagina was funny. I am kind of glad you did not just stop there with that single joke. It was an interesting twist ending, as you generally do not see those in shorts.

DestructoBox responds:

Thanks for the review! This was our first short when we switched to the new graphics/animation format. I definitely feel we've worked out some (not all) of the kinks since then. We're definitely trying to improve as we go ;)

[Casual Battle]

Fairly decent

I obviously see a ton of stick flashes, so it was a bit hard to find anything that unique. I will say that the best part of it was probably how it started after it seemed to end. The animation looked a little amateur, but it was still not bad. I especially like the purple gas that emits from the guy. The choice of music was also fine and I did kind of like the transitions when it started again. Not much else to say about this, but it does seem as though you are off to a fine start here in Flash.

CUCCOOLEGEND responds:

Thanks for the review, if I ever do another stick flash I'll probably try my hand at the classic "100 v.s. 1" fight. Thanks again.
