[Wario: In Space]

Funny stuff

It's a below par concept, but funnily enough it works well and is quite funny. The Wario animation is good, and the sounds aren't too bad either. A nice short, does what it says it will.

Haha Violence: 2.

[guy gets slapped]

Oh dear!

This is just like that crap movie that got turd of the week a couple of weeks back, only worse. It's a stick figure slapping another stick figure, with a screaming sound clip. It's incredibly bad. It only gets two on the humour as it's so bad it's funny.

[Skate...]

Good music, short film

Second scene was definitely better than the first, which to be honest stank, but it was too short generally. A lot of skate movies have more stunts, which are easier to see and animated better. At least this had a couple of bails in it, and had some fine music.

MikE7 responds:

well i thought so to but i dont care.
i'll put better music (i have kazaa back!!!) and adding on to it is getting less and less "fun"

[Clockfiction]

Good short clock animation

It's Pulp Fiction, clock style. And for some reason it works fantastically well. The Dick Dale music rules. A bit lacking in animation and graphics, but it doesn't hinder the movie massively. I'd have liked it if it had gone on further and gone into the house, but maybe that could be done in a sequel or something. Good effort.

[kenny killed by bus]

Way too short

It's obvious what's going to happen given the title of the movie, and Kenny does indeed get killed by a bus. The flash skills exhibited aren't too bad, but not much thought went into the concept of this and it wasn't funny, period.

[The American Dream]

OK 9/11 tribute

Nice drawing of a plane, and the music was apt. The buildings were basic. There's not much more to be said about this flash, I'm guessing it didn't intend to be great, just to be a tribute. I'll give it average marks because the actual movie was average.

Strangely good

Fine movie - the idea fitted the Supermen Lovers track very well, and it was a nice movie anyway. There's some nice graphical effects - I liked the fading from day into night near the end. The movie generally makes you feel good, and that's a good thing. Seven!

[Raspberrybeard the Pirate]

Interesting cartoon

Good idea for a cartoon, funny, violent and original. All aspects were good, although the constant sounds of pineapple eating in the preloader got annoying. Well worth taking a quick look, this is deserving of its score. Well done!

[A Lesson For Life]

Good job! Nice death!

Liked this - nice idea, simple and effective. Good drawing, sound quality wasn't fantastic though. A little bit predictable in that you can work out that someone is going to die, it's just a question of how. I didn't guess right though - I was going for some sort of bus-related violence. The moral of the story is one we should all follow. Keep up the good work!

BAFA responds:

Thanks :D That was a most cheerfull review ^_^

[Counter-Strike Newbs]

Fairly lame shooting action

A collection of fundamental CS errors, except it's badly drawn, with poor sounds and it's really not funny. There's been some effort put in, as there's a few different scenes, but I wouldn't recommend watching this.
