/wiki/Critical Davecreator

An Australian blogger who pontificates on things (mainly movies) and you read if you want to.

Started out by reviewing "Infamovies" (his term, a portmanteau of Infamous and Movies) - films that had had troubles with Australian censors, but eventually widened his scope to other films. His reviewing style initially seemed to be "summarise the movie and make jokes along the way" but later reviews give a brief plot summary of the film before discussing it in more general terms.

Notable for being a heavy troper, even potholing to the site in his early reviews, and for a heavy emphasis that his reviews are just his opinion, and do not necessarily mean he has an authoritative stance.

His reviews can be found here
