A great review is great. A bad review is the worst.
I've had movies bomb with terrible reviews, I've had movies make a lot of money with terrible reviews, I've had movies get good reviews and make money. And I like it best when the movies do well and the reviewers like them.
Every year I tell myself that I'm not going to read any reviews and then I do. We're all human and when I read something negative it hurts. I think when you write it's part of the game, you're going to get some good reviews and some bad reviews and t...
[reading a review of the album "Shark Sandwich"] Marty DiBergi: The review for "Shark Sandwich" was merely a two word review which simply read "Shit Sandwich".
The American critic Dale Peck, author of Hatchet Jobs (2004), argues that reviewing finds its true character in critical GBH such as Fischer's [review of Martin Amis's Yellow Dog]. It represents a return to the prehistoric origins of reviewing in Zoi...
Once you begin reviewing judgment calls, which in basketball there are many, you put yourself on a very slippery slope in terms of what could be reviewed, and ultimately the number of reviews that could take place that would make it unwieldy.
I've never had a movie that got great reviews. I've had movies that got different levels of good and bad reviews, but you can more or less count on plenty of bad reviews.
I have learned not to read reviews. Period. And I hate reviewers. All of them, or at least all but two or three. Life is much simpler ignoring reviews and the nasty people who write them. Critics should find meaningful work.
I absolutely want and prize and love and revere every single media review I get, but if I got 50 reviews from major newspapers and one review from Amazon, I still would feel a little weird: 'What's going on? Why aren't people responding?'
Authors, reviews are not for you. They are not for you. Authors, reviews are not for you.
It's a fantastic review. Sixty percent of the American reviews are sensational, 20% are mixed, not so good.
I love reviews. Anybody who tells you they don't read reviews is a liar.
I think reviewers have become particularly venomous because, in a way, the power has been sucked from them. A 15-year-old can write a review on the Internet and it means as much as Roger Ebert's review, and that just makes Roger Ebert mad, so he come...
I always had a trunk full of good reviews. I'd get magnificent reviews, and I'd be standing out on the unemployment line!
If you get a bad review, you take that in your stride.
To me, I read good reviews in lots of papers and bad reviews in lots of papers.
Reviewing music or reviewing anything is a writing job. It's nice if you are experienced in the field you are writing about, but writing is what you are doing.
When I read a review, 90% of the review is about my lifestyle, and the last two sentences are about the record.
Reviews are great. I can read negative reviews and say, 'You know that point they made... they were dead on.'
I don't read my own reviews and I haven't for probably 15 years. I read other people's reviews, though.
I will only start taking book reviews seriously from the day that books are able to review readers.
