Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Madness E Collab: 5]

I was very impressed by this! I always love huge collabs such as this. I am glad to say Happy Madness Day 2016! We don't have as many of them here, but we still have some great ones! My favorite one is MAN_TICORE. I wish that guy was credited on the side!

They were all pretty unique. Chaos had a great one too. You guys really did try to make the characters unique. It's hard to do that when they're all literally faceless. I wish the original series would come back. Kelzad's was very creative too!

GabrielBarsch responds:

well...we did credited him on the side, but he didnt accepted yet
btw thanks for your feedback

oh wait, now he did, MANtikora

[Motion Portrait: Orient]

Um, I admit to being confused as to why this is so liked. I mean, it's just a picture. It's a good picture, but a picture nonetheless. Well, that's just my opinion. It's cool to see different Asian country's culture in this. The Chinese and Japanese really do hate each other.

I appreciate the music as well. This is quite cultural. I just wish this could have been interactive. I like seeing those flower pedals. It's a graceful picture.

deathink responds:

Yeah its kinda relaxing.

[Murder Dream]

Your artwork reminds me of Theonewithoutaname. Wait a minute, that is you! I guessed you changed your name, in every sense of the word. Anyway, this was pretty nice. I will admit it was kind of crudely put together. It's just a bunch of random drawings.

They're still pretty nice. I've just seen you do much better. This has been a good jam. You can do anything with scariness. Is that even a word?

linda-mota responds:

THAT'S ME! HOLY HELL I remember you! Been awhile! I just changed my username to my real name because I was 17/18 when I made this and it needed a better name! lol. Oh yea it is crude. I have teh notebooks of where I drew each panel of scratchy animation. Getting the heng of it though it's more experimental it's still fun, getting more confident with doing more than 3-4 panel loops of animation. Thank you for the kind words though it's a slow process getting back into this but glad people are giving their 2 cents! :)

[Skitzo-Fisherman Follies]

I have to admit that having a jam about just spooky stuff is too generic. I guess people can be more creative this way! I really did love this cartoon. I love the way it's set up. It does feel like a Creepypasta, only visually. The animation is top notch.

The best part is of course the end. It was already pretty spooky. You use this imagery so well. The sounds are great too. Some old Disney cartoons actually were pretty creepy.

Comick responds:

Thanks a ton for giving it a chance and I'm glad you found scenes in it to be creepy! :D

[Calloused Hands]

My only complaint is that this was a little too short. I would have to see more action. Is that how many nipples bears have? Well, I guess a bear god would have as many as he wants. It's nice to hear your voice again. I know what it's like to have hands like that.

I've grown to mostly just ignore them. They've gotten better. Lotion works in so many different ways. Penguins are always nice too. This was another great cartoon!

Sexual-Lobster responds:

Thanks Ericho. That beast is Zorgoth the Terrible, eight nippled devourer of salmon.

[The Move To Youtube]

This is now changed to the lowest rated thing for this year's Clock Day. Honestly, I don't think this is that bad. It's mostly because some of the ideas are clever. I like seeing how the years change. It's not much, but it's something. I like the sounds.

It is still pretty pointless. You need to have better animation. Happy Clock Day 2016! It's sad how we always lose views each year. At least we still have you guys. I've never heard of you before.

MuppetProtesterClock responds:

Let's chalk it up to a good "last hurrah." At least I tried, and got a good rating from an expert!

.10 more points left, and I move up.

[Viral Video Superstar]

Wow, you've found work in other places? Are you talking about the newer Alvin and the Chipmunks movies? I don't care for Teen Titans Go. Anyway, I personally didn't find this that good. I would like to see the buildup more. It's still nice to hear these voices.

It's the same guy doing all of them? He really did do this on his own! I can not remember any of the characters' names. This just isn't one of my favorite series. It should have its own page, though!

Sykohyko responds:

Thanks. Yeah i worked on the new Alvin and the Chipmunks movie, and the Incredible Hulk with Edward Norton. I'm also the guy who does all the voices for these characters.

[The Ascent of Alfred: Trailer]

This is only going to be a segment? I thought we'd be funding a whole movie! It doesn't matter that much, because this is still awesome. Yeah, you could call me a fan of Alfred. I really am impressed at how good the animation is. It's just so beautiful to look at!

The colors and effects are wonderfully vibrant. I love seeing all this insanity. I'm familiar enough with the character to recognize this tone. I assume that's you in the video. I hope this gets made!

emily-youcis responds:

Yeah, it will be a whole movie! It's just being released segmentally as completed so I don't dissapear for the next year.

[CRTrouble]

Yes, this was my favorite in this series! It's mostly because it actually has dialogue with it. I think this may have even had the most sound effects of any entry. Granted, it's not higher than most of the other entries, but it's still great. It was great to have Tom Fulp in this. He should be in more flashes.

The animation was really good. I truly appreciated the different kinds of animation. Well, it really was only the beginning. It was nice to have some variety at least. I'm glad you all had fun with this.

j0l00lj responds:

Thank you very much for the kind words!

['Dog Box Collosseum']

I feel bad for not giving this a higher score. I was interested as to what this jam was even about. I am glad I now know. All I can say is that it seemed to work out pretty well. This cartoon does seem vaguely familiar to me. Maybe it was just another cartoon you made that I'm thinking of.

I think the animation was pretty good. I was kind of turned off by the lack of dialogue. It is something that will take getting used to. I'm still glad it's the highest of anything in this collection. I guess I'm just not a fan of these jams.

Butzbo responds:

Hmmm; I think it may seem similar to an earlier cartoon from 2013, 'The Fish Tower', it has a similar premise (some sort of adventurer wandering into an abandoned place); I actually thought of this one as some sort of spiritual successor since it's just a an idea that worked well for this theme of the jam.

And yeah, these jams are really cool for practicing, but it's sometimes necessary to have the context of these to properly judge them, since the level of polish or storytelling can vary a lot.

Now that you mention it, I should do dialogue at some point; As much as I enjoy the potential of telling a story without words, it could bring more possibilities and points of view to my shorts.

Thanks for reviewing! :)
