Apple Bobbing (robbing)
Saw this film at the Auckland Finals. I felt that the film was way too long, dragged heaps and didn't really grab me. The changes in tracks of different music interrupted the flow which was sometimes quite abrupt and the music didn't always fit the film. The one point where I thought it looked and sounded really good was when the pair were walking up to the final house to commit the robbery, in slow motion with a great song...only to last about 5 seconds, then going back to being like the rest of the film. Not 100% sure why this was in the finals, but the judges must have liked it!

CONVICTED
When I saw that this team of three young girls had drawn musical, I felt sorry for them. But they stepped up and owned the genre! While the production values left a lot to be desired, the basic storytelling skills were there (one line had the audience in stitches) and I was actually quite impressed with the songs they managed to knock out over the weekend. They show potential!
