Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[People of Punk-o-matic 2]

38 minutes?!

This was quite different than the other entries in that it really had nothing to do with music. I can still tell that a lot of effort was put into this by the sheer number of voice actors. The animation in this is simply fantastic, although it would have been better if there was more action. I guess this kind of thing isn't my style, but it's definitley something I would recommend. Some of the conversations are pretty funny, even though they have little organization. I think the most memorable character is either the bum or the old lady. I knew Rina-chan would voice the slutty looking girl.

Evil-Dog responds:

yeah if it wasn't just in-game story stuff, I would have made it more animated, lip movements and more movements defintily :)

[WaterLoop!]

Not bad

I was thinking that this was just going to be a single loop that was more like a joke flash, but I was pleasantly surprised. As I know some stuff about science, I could understand where you were going. I think my favorite part was when the flames turned Walter into steam and he sort of rose up like a ghost. It was pretty innovative, especially when he turned into bird poop. My complaint is that it does look like the animation used in this is a bit too simple. You put in a great choice of music too.

Veinom responds:

Everything is animated, even the backgrounds. Nothing remains static for more than a few frames the most, so Im not sure what you mean that the animation is simple. In my opinion a simple animation would be to use tween to move arms and legs, which I havent

[Hook Line and Sinker]

Very cute!

This is definitley the record for longest time spent without submitting anything to Newgrounds! It has been exactly 8 years and 7 months since you last submitted your "Karma" flash here! At first the record holder was OTWIC, then AlanMidas, and now you! Anyway as for the flash itself it was great to watch even though I thought it might be a game at first. I was really amazed at how how fish moved; they had such a three dimensional aspect to them. The plot was very simple, but very enjoyable.

billyblob responds:

Hello Ericho,
Take that OTWIC, and AlanMidas.. HA! Yeah, I don't know what my problem was. NewGrounds is the best. Thank you for the nice comments.

[Banned Easter Egg Advert]

Goo goo goo!

When I first found the title, I thought it was going to be something made by TheWeebl as he uses Cadbury Creme eggs. That reminds me, I did not get a single Cadbury Creme egg for Easter this year. Anyway, this was a good flash. The goo was a little predictable but what is really nice is how well the effects were. The live-action chocolate eggs are used with animated, um, "goo". The funniest part was probably when it turned into BDSM and I wonder why the one egg never took off his whole wrapper.

NotSafeForWork responds:

He's shy :3

[jumping turtles]

Beautiful

This reminded me of the stuff made by the other stop-motion guy that uses drawings. It was interesting with how you could not explicitly see the former sketches, but could see their outlines. This was great fun, simply because it was so simple. It did not make any effort to be flashy or have a lot of crazy stuff going on, it's just bare bones beauty. Sure, it could have been a little more detailed, but there was obviously a lot of work put into this. The "Turtle" ending was also funny and unexpected.

turtleco responds:

the barfing turtleco was my favorite part

[Mortal Kombat People II]

Very impressive idea!

I was impressed at how well the live-action stuff flowed, as I did not even know it was going to be live-action at first! The moves performed by your friends were very authentic to the feel of "Mortal Kombat". At first, I thought that guy was actually being called a "noob" but then I remember that's his real name! The actors really put a lot of hard work into this. I think my favorite part would be the beginning when it showed everybody you could play as. Not to mention it has a really unexpected beginning where it's like the game plays for you.

DiegoNOX responds:

I was the Reptile... really is hard work to act this... the green detail was always falling, this made us to record again!

Thank you for support

=)

[A.E. Chronics BETA | Ch.0 - Pt.1]

Great stuff

I was eager to find out you were making flash that was brand new in every aspect. I did look on to your website and see more of this stuff, but this animation really reminded me of that one Zelda cartoon. In fact, you probably did work on that and this is an alternate account. Anyway, the voicing was just perfect in this one, seeing as how there were not that many voices at all. I like how you could see the static on the character's body and the background. There seems to be a lot of mystery surrounding this.

WHOOKOS responds:

You're right. I did in fact make that Zelda cartoon before its giant delay.

[Sanford and Clock]

Lucky guy

Why was I not able to get a Newgrounds submission with such a high score on Clock Day? Oh well, I guess I should have not advertised it on my front page as I am one of the most prolific reviewers on the website. Anyway, this was okay. I just simply could not hate this, as it was interesting to see someone pay tribute to "Sanford and Son", which seems to be forgotten on this website. At least the loop with the Asian kid killing himself over and over was really cool. Penguins are cool, too.

ChandlerThompson responds:

Penguins are cool, Stanley Cup champs!
