Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Death's Dayjob]

Cute

I guess I never thought that a literal dead baby comedy would ever come off as cute, but this was nice. I guess the delivery of jokes was not the best, but the punchline was well worth it. This flash's strongest point is how good the animation is. I really like how the characters and the backgrounds are drawn. It is among the most unique styles that I have ever seen in a cartoon, and I wish I knew how you did the animation on this. This is my 21st birthday and it was great to see this on this very special day.

Glad you thought so highly of it, and happy 21st.

[EEnE Z Episode 9]

That was something

This is one of the craziest submissions I have seen in a long time! I was amazed at how ridiculous the designs seemed to be and how everyone just seemed to have different android names. Granted, that is because I have not seen the other entries in the series. While the dialogue needed some work, it was definitley worth seeing for how creative it was. I am not a fan of "Ed, Edd 'n Eddy" but I think this really did the characters justice. The designs came off as weird at first, but I got used to them quickly.

SSJ5G responds:

Lol, with a crossover between EEnE and DBZ, it's really hard to keep everyone in-character, but the fact I managed it is proof enough any crossover can be attempted with the right situation, and the right story. As for the sprites themselves, I had to edit about 80% of the sprites you see. There is only one that qualifies as a shameless recolor in this submission, but, oh well. The rest of them had to be edited to fit the characters.

[Living With OCD]

YES!!

I love this cartoon simply because I have a brother who has bad OCD and I know just what you are going through (or what the guy in the movie is going through). My brother is always closing doors over and over and can never get anything done. He is so bad he is afraid to even brush his teeth or take a shower in fear of his OCD. It is a truly horrible tragedy that has begotten our family for nearly a decade now!! The good news is that he is on medication as he should be, but we are not finding the right kind for him. I love you for just raising awareness of this serious issue.

As for the flash itself, it was good and the music was good and everything, although it could have used color. Gosh, I was just thinking about my brother with his OCD right before I watched this!

albiokay responds:

im sorry to hear about your brother :[
i wish you and your family the best of luck
as for the flash, i was going for a simple, minimalist, black and white style, so i didn't want to use any color.
that, and i only had a week to make this :P
thanks for the kind words though :]

[GYSA]

Zombies are always good

I was so focused on the action that was going on with the zombie killings and everything, I was not even listening to the song! I find it funny how the thing that was able to cause him the most damage was that cat. I do not even know if that was supposed to be a zombie cat. Judging from the title, you have no idea what the cartoon is going to be about. I loved watching this even though I am not at all familiar with the music involved. It was weird how he threw the zombie head in the microwave when he did not even need to.

Imp-beast responds:

LOL glad you liked our lil show lol. Our organizer wanted graituous lol
and I gave it to her XD. thats actualy her evil cat I put in lol

[I Love Farcry 2!!!]

Needs improvement

It was interesting to have really good CGI being used in a Newgrounds submission. However, this just had so little going on and it did not even have sound. The best thing about this is that it looks like the guy on the ground is jacking off or something. I think these submissions would be more suitable for other websites. I like how his gun just seems to be moving around for no reason. Next time, work on length and at least try to put in a cheesy song or something.

Maverlyn responds:

for some reason the sound didn't work in this submission, i added the macaroni song :)

[links side quest]

Not English?

It does not matter what nationality you are, as long as you worked to create something decent. I think the funniest part of this was when Link found out he needed that rupee. I like how it just seems to end on a completley different note. I think this is a better format than when the images gradually come in (or at least the speech bubbles). As I can view this now, I think it may have worked better as a webcomic. Of course, this has such an ongoing story it probably is best to present it in this form.

peltos responds:

this one i made before i worked with greatwh1teshark
then i just liked to make a page whenever i was bored and let them show to some of my friends. i think i worked on it for a year... but i made a page every 2 weeks so i didnt do much about it. it ended on a difrend note because i watch a lot of animation and from that i get my ideas so everytime i was working on it, it became a little bit difrent every time. and at some point i decided to put it all together and put it on newgrounds :P

[Not Another Sprite Fight]

Not another indeed

You really have tried to create a sprite movie that is cool and unique in its own way. I love how you have such a variety of characters in this. I mean, at least to me, Ristar is a good character but I really tend to see him little in flashes so it is good to see him get publicity. People like Luigi have limited dialogue but they still seem to be pretty talkative. It is all around unpredictable as you do not use a single series or even a company. I think that Pikachu is the best guy here because he has the most impressive design.

Short-Factor responds:

A complex, thought out review for a movie I consider lame. Thanks for taking the time.
