Nicholas,
Worked fine for me (Safari).
Great work, really nicely cut etc.
The way you cut it doesn't seem to blend with the music. I think you edited the shots great but the music needs more energy. I believe I understand your motivation, but people use music with energy for a reason. Give the audio energy and the shots will sell themselves.

Worked is a relative idea apparently :)
Webpage:
It opens with a lot of space on top of that small movie window. I looked at the code and it's a javascript mess. You really don't need all of that for something so simple. I would just do it with some simple divs or tables and be done....fogetabout javascript.
Reel:
Music is ...slow yet aggressive. I wouldn't choose it because I think it's a little obtrusive but, that's me. I would lso look at the general pacing of the reel. Overall, felt a little slow to me. I tried it without the music and it was still moving a little too lumberly (is that a word?)
