Just Desserts
short and sweet i liked it! well shot well edited although we didn't find out why he was covered in blood to begin with? did he just murder someone and happen to stumble across another murder scene?? we didn't hear Bobby's last name but i'll assume it's Young, (credits looked classy XD) acting was as good as it needed to be. Well Done

great characters, stereotypes are always funny and you seem to have a gift for them. great use of cliché love scenes! and I didn't actually expect you to have a "5.7 metre grand piano"!! so that was funny too. the fad didn't tie in very well with the story which made the ending feel unsatisfying. would have suited rom-com better. your camera work was surprisingly good though so well done on ridin' solo!
Dead End
well shot, acting was good, I liked the double body-switch but was hard to follow. this movie started out very good with a very clear opening and introduction to the narrative. however the story got progressively more convoluted and over-complicated and the ending seemed completely chaotic and nonsensical. and why was the man in the balaclava running away when he was the one with a gun?!! overall very interesting though. go Bursnside!!

cinematography blew me away, the quality of the visuals was just awesome, good camera work, editing was good but could have been snappier. music was ok, good music should blend with the visuals, but this stood out like a sore thumb, but hey it's 48 hours. what really let this film down was poor acting the acting would have been ok, had this been an awkward comedy but after such an emotional opening and a rape scene the comedy felt useless and out of place. i recognise Cassie baker from the play "Two Fish 'n' a Scoop" which she acted superbly well in but i felt her acting in this film was below par. if you had stuck to the macabre used in the beginning and end, i would have loved this film. ps: I thought that the guy and girl were going to a ball or atleast a fancy dinner the way they were dressed, but they just ended up at a house party which was weird.
the last duel
I agree with Christian Lee, nice take on the fad genre, a more sepia look would have suited, cliff hanger was good. Costume and location were very well suited to your story (pre-prepared perhaps?) nice look and feel to the movie. the female characters played almost no part in the story? and the acting standard was below what the movie needed. but otherwise entertaining
Daddy Gonna Find Ya
hilarious! loved the fight scene, "white abo's!" had me laughing hardest. story was a bit weak, would have suited quest movie much more than revenge. overexposure, noise and strange camera angles let this film down. but I liked your use of the long forgotten art of physical/slapstick comedy. pleasure to watch. thanks guys (and their decks) for making somthing so enjoyable
Taurine Rising
costume and editing made this movie such a grand event to watch (and where the hell did you find that car??!) characters felt hollow, and acting was poor but I didn't care; when you can make a sword out of bent wire who cares whether you can express or feel emotion. reincorporation of Bobby as Taurine was good but the first scene was much to long and boring to watch. overall camera work was good. corny clichés I found hilarious! good job guys kept to your genre perfectly!!!

What happened to David?
really liked the look and feel of your movie, the actors connected well, Joe's singing was good, songs were well placed adding to the overall humour of the characters, together with lines like "keep off the grass". I also liked the cult costumes. songs did sound a bit similar however and the line of dialogue "wait, isn't he an ex-bully?" and bent wire didn't quite fit surreptitiously. a few of the shots could have been better like the close up of David's eyes in the cult scene: it could have been framed a bit better. but then again some of them were really good like the shot looking down the pistol at David's face: it looked steady and was well framed. the shot of the cultists heads looming overhead then fade to black was very nice too. I also liked the twist at the end it really lifted the narrative of the movie for me and made it a happy ending.
