Movie Review Site Opinions

Hello everyone!

I've had a homelab up for quite a while and would like to expand on that. I'm a major media person and I'm really wanting to put up a website that I can post movie reviews on.

It'll be public, but really it's only for my family/friends connected to my plex server. I'm constantly getting asked for recommendations and would like a centralized place they can look, and I can look back on upon a rewatch.

I'd really like to stay away from WordPress if at all possible - every time I've ever used WP, it always seems extremely slow after plug-ins are added and that's really the only "template" I've seen.

Also, can you pull watch history from plex and display on a site? I've looked quite a bit for the movie Review page but haven't really looked at the plex api. Really looking to pull watch history based on library/genre.

Currently set up with nginx proxy manager.

Thanks folks

- This is close, but I'd like to be able to manually add text to each review (for my benefit really) and general x/y star reviews for them.
  
  Also it really wouldn't need Auth - I'd be the only one actually editing the pages.
  
  The screenshots show it's not just a rating, you can add text to them. Am I misunderstanding you?
  
  ... I blame the kid's sleep regression and my lack thereof.
  
  I'll give this a shot, thanks!
  
  This is a screenshot from the github Repo that shows those exact features 🙂
