* BrokeTheRatingScale: Started his reviews under a blanket statement that he was completely against films being banned in Australia. Film/ASerbianFilm made him rethink this. It seems he's still against censorship, but begrudgingly acknowledges that some films go too far.

** Amusingly, he's stopped potholing to the site, which means some of his pages reference Tropes that readers who [[TvTropesWillRuinYourLife haven't had their lives ruined]] mightn't understand.

Added DiffLines:

[[http://www.daveandhiscriticisms.wordpress.com Critical Dave]] is an Australian blogger who pontificates on things (mainly movies).

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 [[OneOfUs 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.
