I wanted to do something special to mark the fifth anniversary of the debut of my site. There have been certain movies I’ve always wanted to write about, but couldn't think of the best format to address them in. So I came up with this movie spotlight series which will focus on discussing and analysing … Continue reading The Truman Show (1998): The Film Spotlight

The Last of Us (TV Series) – A Mostly Solid Adaptation
I know I'm not really a TV show guy as I always need to convince myself to get started and to keep going. Although an adaptation of The Last of Us is definitely a way to draw me in and it also helps if every episode gets an insane amount of praise online. The Last … Continue reading The Last of Us (TV Series) – A Mostly Solid Adaptation
Avatar: The Way of the Water – Take me back to Pandora!
The sequel to James Cameron's Avatar is here at last, to round off 2022. While also simultaneously putting every other 2022 blockbuster to shame because it's an over 3-hour-long epic and the special effects aren't total garbage. Avatar: The Way of Water is essentially a movie that wants everyone on the entire planet to see … Continue reading Avatar: The Way of the Water – Take me back to Pandora!
Blonde – Doesn’t Deserve The Hate
I don't write as much as I used to, but when I do find that inspiration it'll be because I found something that needs to be put into words. Blonde is a fictional recreation, or more so a dramatisation, of Marilyn Monroe's life. It's also an adaptation of the 2000 fictional novel of the same … Continue reading Blonde – Doesn’t Deserve The Hate
Pam and Tommy ain’t that hot
Some of you may know I don't watch too many shows, nor do I review too many of them. This time, however, I felt like reviewing Pam & Tommy. Some of you mightn't've heard of it as this show was only really popular back when it was first announced and then one more time when … Continue reading Pam and Tommy ain’t that hot
The Batman I’ve Always Wanted!
It's March and I guess it's time for our first superhero movie of 2022. I'm not sure if there is much excitement in me because I'm kind of tired of superheroes. I've been doing this gig for almost four years now and I want some spice in my superhero movies, I can't do the same … Continue reading The Batman I’ve Always Wanted!
Top 10 Best Movies of 2021
Oh goodie, it's The Blog Complainer's annual Best Movies of the year list. A list that was a little annoying to make this year as most of the films everyone says were great, turned out to be anything other than that. A disappointing or a complete misfire list would be easier to make than a … Continue reading Top 10 Best Movies of 2021
No Time to Die is actually something worth seeing.
Finally! I got to watch the latest James Bond venture, No Time to Die. A movie that most would know was supposed to come out in April of last year, but the pandemic hit and it was ultimately pushed back to 18 months later. It was pushed back an extra month for my hometown Australia, … Continue reading No Time to Die is actually something worth seeing.
The Many Eternals of Newark
Blog Complainer here. I saw two movies in the last week and instead of wasting everyone's time by reviewing them separately, I figured why not do this one back to back. I've also have No Time to Die to review this same week, and scheduling wise it just works out better this way. We're going … Continue reading The Many Eternals of Newark
After we Fell we wasted everyone’s time by making another After movie!
I don't use this phrase often but After we Fell is one of the worst films I have ever had to suffer through. This is the third movie in the series of "After" movies, so I guess I had an idea of what to expect because the two previous films have all found their rightful … Continue reading After we Fell we wasted everyone’s time by making another After movie!
