[The Coming War]

Bonus points for randomness

I've not seen many of the post 9/11 movies, but this one had a bit of randomness to it, wasn't particularly tasteless and had an unorthodox background track to it (which could have been a bit shorter really, which would have made the filesize smaller). Therefore, average marks. Made me chuckle.

[Gettin Sticky Wit It]

Excellent parody music video

An extremely underrated music video - great parody, with suitable graphics and a good backing track. Watch this, you won't be disappointed. Can't really say how this could be improved.

[Stick Terrorists: 1]

Distinctly average

At least this had some sort of plotline... problem was that for a lot of the movie, things were happening but not much was being animated. Most flash related elements were average. A bit of a poor ending as well. Could have been worse.

OK skate movie

Of the skate movies I've seen, this lands somewhere in the middle - there's a good selection of tricks and it's well drawn. It could have used a few bails and a little bit of music though. Next time, try and add a little bit extra, perhaps some different backgrounds or some simple sounds.

Nice! Unexpected violence!

This is how a short animation should be made. Simple idea, well drawn and simple music. Then there's a random comic twist, then random violence with the shotgun, then another random comic twist with the parental advisory warning. I laughed at it, that's a good thing. Excellent!

[KUNG-FU]

Average stick fight

Some decent stick fight effects there - pulling out lightsabers seemed a bit random, and the ending was funny. Could have been better, the sounds were poor as all the effects were the same, and there could have been more moves in a longer movie. I'd say for the genre it's an average attempt.

[Easter Suprise]

What was that piece of crap?

There's some very quiet, random sound, the rabbit craps out an easter egg full of shit then some random guy comes in and plays with it. This is a pile of crap, don't bother watching it.

[The Ultimate Chase]

Nice idea

For an older movie especially, this was fun to watch. It's a simple idea, done alright with some great dance tracks being played in the background. Not sure if you could actually dodge the bullets (I couldn't), but if you could that's a clever bit of interactivity you have there. Decent classic entry, worth a view.
