It’s a fantastic review. Sixty percent of the American reviews are sensational, 20% are mixed, not so good.
I sleep very well, although sometimes it’s hard to go to sleep ‘cos I’m so excited about the business performance review the following day.
It was my third Second City review before I even got mentioned in the review. It was the third review where it finally was like, ‘And Lauren Ash is here.’ Thank God, it’s about time!
In my classroom, I would start my lessons with a quick review of an old topic. Then, I would introduce a new topic. Finally, I would give my students a problem to solve on their own, one that would reinforce what I’d just taught.
Even reading my first bad review was an awesome experience. It was cool because you make something and not everybody’s going to like it. I felt like that kind of grew me up a little bit into a professional. I was a student filmmaker, and no one writes reviews about student films.
It may sound a bit like an army barracks, but the truth of the matter is: there must be some time laid aside for arranging, time for working on either a book or an article – I’ve written two articles in the last four months for the New York Times book review section.
When ‘Play’ first came out, journalists didn’t review it; it didn’t get radio play. And then it became this big successful record and, I hate to admit this, I found myself liking the fame. I bought into it.
I was in the original cast of ‘Wicked’, and that got a bad review in ‘The New York Times,’ and it’s the most successful thing that’s ever been put onstage.
Ah, there’s a director. Astonishing, Spike Lee. A feisty guy, but a guy who’s, I think, incredibly misunderstood. I think people review his politics or his color as opposed to his filmmaking sometimes. Because he’s a wonderful, wonderful filmmaker and a lover of the art.
I’m not going to be pretentious and two-faced to get a good review. But that’s the kind of thing which gets you a rep in this business.
Helen Zille, formidable leader of the Democratic Alliance, routinely vilified as representing white interests only, is trying to make sure everyone knows that the case against Zuma is strong and is trying to have it investigated in a judicial review.
If we want an international trade deal that advances the interests of our own people, then perhaps we don’t need a ‘fast-track’ but a regular track: where the president sends us any proposal he deems worthy, and we review it on its own merits.
So the news that divorced fathers are to be denied a legal right to a relationship with their children, in the long overdue review of family law published this week, fills me with horror and despair.
I’m accused of, and perhaps rightly so, of not being mean enough. I’ve been taken to task in many a book review; a good satirist has to, you know, has to kill.
Utah has benefited from setting smart tax policy. That said, public finding is dynamic enough that we cannot just set the tax policy and presume that it does not require continual review and adjustment.
Yelp is in a very nice spot: local data, and especially review data, is one of the killer apps on mobile phones.
You still get these waves of doubt that come over you, for example, when you get a bad review or you accept a part and think, ‘Oh, God, what have I just accepted? I can’t do that.’ I don’t think that’s something that will ever go away in me.
I look at ‘The New York Review of Books.’ It’s what it has been for 35 or 40 years, which is a highly sophisticated vehicle for anti-American self-hatred.
A barrel of laughs should be enough, but it’s not. A good review is official and endures. A bad one is like a tub of Flora. It spreads easily and lasts for the whole festival.
You can learn a lot from criticism if you can take what’s constructive out of it. If you read a review that starts with, ‘This person is an idiot; who do they think they are?’, you’re not going to learn anything from that.
As with any skill, you have to work at leadership. Watch how the best do it, review what you’ve done, and look at what you might do.
One of the maddening ironies of writing books is that it leaves so little time for reading others’. My bedside is piled with books, but it’s duty reading: books for book research, books for review. The ones I pine for are off on a shelf downstairs.
All our words and acts are passing in review before God.
A review of summit day photographs will show that I was clothed in the latest, highest quality, high altitude gear, comparable, if not better, than that worn by the other members of our expedition.
With every job I watch, I can’t find peace with what I’ve done. It’s never good enough in my mind. I will never be happy if I’m in that mindset, unless I get a review that starts: ‘Once in a generation.’
If there’s a good review, I’ll skip over the headline, but I always find the bad reviews and read those. I don’t know why. It’s a little sick and demented.
My friends and family have been so well trained that they know I really mean it when I say that I don’t care if the review is good, because that can be as dangerous as when it’s bad. It’s less demoralizing, but it can be just as confusing.
Twice and thrice over, as they say, good is it to repeat and review what is good.
I’ve never seen a film get away completely unscathed like I have ‘Animal Kingdom.’ There’s not a single bad review that I’ve read of it yet; all through Sundance, all it got was high praise.
We conduct a safety review of all images, audio, and video files through a combination of human review and machine detection prior to them becoming available on our platform.
One of my favorite things to read in the ‘Observer’ is the restaurant review by Jay Rayner. I love reading about these restaurants that I won’t ever have the time to go to.
You read a book, write a detailed review as proof you’ve read it, and they give you a badge. That’s where my competitive nature came out. Give me the badges! I would sit in the library all day, not ‘cos I loved reading, just because I needed those badges.
I thought, well I can do that. I couldn’t be bothered writing a book review, because I’d have to read the book, I haven’t got time to read a whole book for a fifty dollar write-up.
My favorite review described me as the cinematic equivalent of junk mail. I don’t know what that means, but it sounds like a dig.
‘The Paris Review’s mandate has been the same for fifty years. First and foremost, this magazine is for writers; the editors’ task is to support and celebrate them, especially at the beginning of their careers, but also as they move forward, venturing stories that are creative, risky, new.
I don’t care about the bare fact that anyone liked or didn’t like a book or movie; they can only interest me in that bare fact by writing an intelligent review.
Once the collection of conversations between the Israeli government and members of Congress occurred, had it been inadvertent, then they would have been destroyed instead of redacted for further use. Had they been inadvertent, then they would not have been forwarded to the White House for review in their redacted form.
As members of Congress, we have to pursue the Congressional Review Act legislation as soon as possible.
I explained to the president that I’ve been pleased with my conversations with the Attorney General and Civil Rights Division regarding their helpful understanding that they aren’t taking over this investigation, but are conducting a parallel review of the events that led to Michael Brown’s death.
