Who Documents Who?
Tuesday, November 4, 2008We often get to read a lot of reviews everyday, may it be a book review, a movie review, or even online casino reviews. But what does a review really do to the product being reviewed? A review is an evaluation of a specific product (e.g., book, movie, promotions, etc). It may contain a critical statement and a rating for the customers or buyers to know its relative merit. Usually, the product in review is the one in current news or is the “it” thing among people. But who is entitled to do such a documentation? I suppose an expert on the subject has the “right” to do a democratic judgment of the subject to be reviewed. It adds credibility to the review and makes the buyers/patron more likely to believe the content of the review. This may include professionals or even amateurs who regularly put their judgments and interpretations in publications, most commonly in periodicals.
Whoever documents who are numerous in certain fields. Their criticism may be constructive or destructive. But I do believe that “To be a critic is to trade transcendence in for self-awareness and proficiency—which is not to say that geniuses don’t know what they’re doing…genius involves a sort of freefall, brave, bold and fluent, that most of us aren’t capable of.”









hey jogasaurus!
well then i guess my comments in regard to this blog is a form of critique. however, some may think that i’m a bit biased in my opinion being you’re my cousin…but no one has to know that…or did i just give it away? ; ) anyway, i like your view on “professional” review”ers”. and no, i don’t think you have to be an expert in what you’re reviewing. everyone has an opinion. but i think a bit of kindness should be doled out when giving harsh criticism too. but that’s just my opinion. we’re all a bunch of critics! good topic!
ate e! xo
