Hey,
I really LOVE the film industry. I love to edit, act, direct and most of all - review! I love the way you can express you're oppinion honestly in a clear and enjoyable way for the audience.
I should be getting a job at Blockbuster in a year, so that made me happy to ;-).
But anyway, I have some questions about film critics:
1) Where is a good place online to post your film reviews and hear what people think?
2) When is the right time to try break into newspapers and magazines for film critics reviews? How would you do this?
3) My personal way of reviewing a film is to write myself a series of questions beforehand (such as main points, eg; cast, music, lighting, editing..etc..). How do you film critics choose set out your reviews?
4) Qualifications. Obviously good English Gcse, then would it be good to go onto English A-Level, and then a degree in Journlism? Also I was thinking of studying A-Level: English, Film Studies, Media Studies and Music. Would this be good for a film critics qualifications?
I would really appreciate you're input, really!
I know being a critic is NOT sitting around watching movies and eating popcorn all day. Hell no! I (but I may be wrong) think that is a common steriotype for a critic. But you are not casually enjoying a film, you're working. You watch good films, but heck I bet there are bad ones too!
Anyway, thank you :%26gt;I want to be a film critic. Can anyone give me advice on where to post my reviews? And answer these q's...?
You need to establish a reputation before you even think of being considered by a newspaper or magazine. It's not an easy profession to get into, and even more difficult to become successful at. Here's an article with a lot of good tips:

And as for your first question, if you want to be a critic, the last thing you want to do is care what people think about you.

Reviews on the products from this site/ advice on clip-in hair extensions?
http://www.glamourextensions.com/main.ht鈥?/a>
I am very interested in buying clip-in human hair extensions.
Im still a bit weird about the clip in extensions from this site, theres so many clips- and bits and pieces to a full set of extensions.
This is the set I was thinking about buying:
http://www.glamourextensions.com/colors.鈥?/a>
Any reviews, or what do you plainly think?
And please don't tell me to wait for my hair to grow etc, because my brithday is in about 3 weeks, and hair extensions are basically one of those things I really want/will use ALOT.
Thankyou :}Reviews on the products from this site/ advice on clip-in hair extensions?
I love the clip in extensions. THose look to be about the right amount of sections and clips. More clips hold them in good.
I have some in right now! I love them, I paid 100$ for 16'; number 2 brown, so that price looks right too. Just make sure your natural hair is long enought so it is not really obvious, otherwise they are super easy to put in and look great. Yo uwill love them for you bday!Reviews on the products from this site/ advice on clip-in hair extensions?
If I were you - I would buy human hair wefts and sew it yourself on clips. You can get the clip ons at Sallys Beauty Supply which I think is a little pricey or you can buy them on Ebay - you get more for your money on Ebay. The reason I say to buy the human hair wefts yourself is because you can pick the hair that you like the best (quality, thickness etc). You end up spending more money buying clip on hair extensions that are already made. Most people I know buy them and end up having to spend more money to buy another set cause the hair provided wasn't enough. Also, you can sew the clip ons to your liking (width etc). The ones already clipped on have their own width and length, and pieces and you can't customize it to your liking. Your better off finding a store online or one by you and buying the hair yourself. Remember to stick to 100% remy hair. Thats the best hair available. Good luck

Advice or opinions about baby carriers (reviews?)?
Hi. My SO and I are doing the pre-baby shopping and having a hard time finding the right carrier. I guess we want one that does it all and is ergonomically friendly. Maybe that's too much to ask? We would prefer to be able to carry baby in front, on our backs, or on our hip - also we would like baby to be able to face us or face out when carried on the front. Lastly, something that has good back and hip support would be ideal since there may be times when we're wearing it for hours. Does anyone know of anything out there like this??
We have looked at Baby Bjorn, but that does not appear to be able to carry on the front AND on the back (backpack or piggyback style). Also, we found the ERGObaby, but that only allows baby to face you when riding in the front - baby can't face out. Also, while ERGO baby gets good reviews it doesn't appear suitable until the baby gets a bit bigger and we would like to only buy one carrier in stead of one for when it's a newborn and one for when it's a bit older.
Anyone find the perfect baby carrier for themselves? Something out there we've missed? Your input is appreciated - thanks!!Advice or opinions about baby carriers (reviews?)?
You might ike a Moby Wrap- it's very flexible and can do all the positions you mentioned.Advice or opinions about baby carriers (reviews?)?
I like the Moby wrap, very versatile and can wear different positions. Also it's easy to wash and dry. Very soft and never had pain carrying her.
I also like the ERGO and am thinking about getting on with this next baby.
Try looking at the Hosa Chunei. It is a vest style carrier. Something different than most other carriers. We love the Pea Pod Wrap!
i got a simple evenflo one and my baby hated it. I used it maybe 2 times and tossed it.
You need a Moby wrap! Check out their website mobywrap.com
It does it all from a sling to a hip holder.
The best carrier for all those positions is a wrap. I had an evenflo carrier and I hated it, it was so hard on my back. The wrap distributes the Weight evenly and can be worn in many different positions, you can even use it to discreetly breastfeed the baby. If your not looking to spend too much money you can even make it yourself, all you need is a long piece of stretchy fabric.
I used a moby wrap when my son was smaller and an Ergo around 3-4 months and it's still comfortable at a year old. The forward facing position isn't good for the baby which is why you will have a hard time finding a good one that allows that. My son does fine still just facing me.
The Ergo does have an infant insert although I believe some like it and some don't.
Info about forward facing, I hear it's a good wrap for a newborn as well.
http://www.sleepywrap.com/index.php?page鈥?/a>
you need a wrap! something like a hug-a-bub or moby wrap, or you can even make your own!! they are fantastic. you tie them on and the slip your baby in, suitable from birth to whenever you decide not to carry your baby anymore. you can learn all different sorts of carries, plus the thicker straps are heaps easier on your back. and a wrap is also much better for your babies spine, as they are pulled in close to you rather then resting on their tailbone. and theres no buckles or straps to adjust, it can fit anyone. i really think you will find a wrap is the way to go!!
some snugli brands do front and back carrying, but i have the baby bjorn with back support and i have damaged nerves in my back and if i watch my posture i can carry her for hours in that thing; she has always been comfy in it, still sleeps in it if tired at ten mos....that's my recommendation, although you can't wear it on your hip or back; i didn't want her on my back in public bc i couldn't see her....we only have the snugli for home...and we have only used it once, LOL
A baby carrying wrap (sash), you can tie it many ways, including front facing you, front facing out, cradle, on the hip etc. It is good until about two years old, as long as you have someone to lift the child into position on your back. Takes a bit of practice but is absolutely wonderful, comfortable for you and baby, plus you can roll it up and stick it in your diaper bag, unlike ergonomic carriers (I also own a Baby bjorn). There are several brands depending on where you live, this is the link to the company I used :blackheads

I'm being sued for posting negative reviews of a salon and need advice.?
Basically after my visit to a salon someone began using by credit card fraudulently. I did some online research and discovered many horror stories about the salon management/ownership. I posted several online reviews saying while I was happy with the stylist I received terrible service from mgmt etc. I also stated that ';while I cannot prove they are responsible for the fraudulent charges logic tells me they are';. Is there anything wrong with that? Is that not my right to free speech? Now I'm being sued for $10,000.I'm being sued for posting negative reviews of a salon and need advice.?
If you put a claim in writing that is negative about a person or business entity and it can be found to adversely affect the operations of that entity [such as causing customers to stop going there] and what you stated cannot be proved, it is illegal. It's called libel. The only way you can help yourself is to find irrefutable proof of what you claim.
to another answerer: slander is when you simply state something verbally. When it is in print or media--i.e. written-- it is libel.I'm being sued for posting negative reviews of a salon and need advice.?
That's not a negative review. That's a baseless allegation of fraud. It's also libel. The freedom of speech does not cover libel or slander.
They're not suing you for posting negative reviews, because they can't.
Saying that they gave you bad service, so they must have also committed credit card fraud is one of the most illogical statements I have ever heard.
I wouldnt worry about it! Its not slander as long as you said ';while I cannot prove they are responsible for the fraudulent charges logic tells me they are';
Nothing slanderous was said. They are just trying to scare you! Any judge will throw this out ASAP
Slander is the communication of a statement that makes a false claim, expressly stated or implied to be factual, that may give an individual, business, product, group, government or nation a negative image.
You said ';I cannot prove';
You cannot be sued for a negative review. This form of lawsuit is called a SLAPP and is a form of frivolous lawsuit designed to intimidate and suppress free speech. You should be able to fight it in the legal system, but it will be expensive.
the salon has to prove that what you wrote caused them emotional and financial harm, and from what you describe, customer dissatisfaction, does not fall into that category
i dont think u should be getting sued for that. got a lawyer? this isnt right at all. ur just voicing ur own opinion. i would have done the same and im sure many people do it everyday.
yeah dear, its called slander. unless you have undesputable evidence taht is was them taht was using your card fraudulently, you cant say things like that..
As long as you say that you cannot prove it, then I don't believe they have a case.

I am looking advice on EXAKT saw or a similar tool ? I couldn't find any reviews on the net. Any guidance?
Dont even bother thinking of purchasing the Exakt tool. Ive seen reviews but Ive also seen demonstrations. Its nothing but a glorigied grinder. Dont buy it, buy a 4 inch grinder and stock different cutting/grinding disks as each job demands.I am looking advice on EXAKT saw or a similar tool ? I couldn't find any reviews on the net. Any guidance?
http://www.toolbusiness.co.uk/reviewexak鈥?/a>
Not many reviews but this one seems to be the one most referenced.
Also, when I did a search I used these search terms:
Exakt
Exakt Saw
';Exakt Saw';
Exakt +Saw
Exakt +Saw +review
';Exakt saw review';
As you can see you can search for what you want in many ways.
There is another Google hack you can use to get at what you want.
Use inurl:Exakt or inurl:Exakt +review Over 42,00 listings for the former and 450 for the latter.
Good luck.I am looking advice on EXAKT saw or a similar tool ? I couldn't find any reviews on the net. Any guidance?
Maybe ';Exacto';, maker of modeling tools?

Like poetry? I just wrote this tonight and wanted some reviews and opinions/critical advice!?
if you dont like poetry/ dont want to be respectful about it, etc, just dont bother answering =)

It feels like ecstacy
it's been so long
since I've just sat and smiled
content in the moment
;Soulfly
it can be spun around on a finger, like the ring he gave me
its the best thing you cant let go of
its where Im at right now
Dancing in lullabies
Doubts dont matter; aren't changing a thing anymore
it feels so good
It wont stop
I don't remember feeling like this
knowing I dont have to worry
a whole weight lifted off my shoulders
like it all just faded awayLike poetry? I just wrote this tonight and wanted some reviews and opinions/critical advice!?
this poem sound beautiful. i liked it so much, i sent the link to a close friend.
have you thought about adding a beat, and considering as a song?Like poetry? I just wrote this tonight and wanted some reviews and opinions/critical advice!?
sharing what you are feeling can be a difficult task. You have done just that. I see you sitting with a far away smile on your face.
You have talent. Keep sharing.
Your poem reminds me of when I drift into a dream. In my dream state, perhaps even the moment of drifting off and coming back from a dream. I sense the feeling of magic...of freedom. Good job!
Sound interesting. Something serene about it. There's something else going on here it seems. You've captured fleeting happiness.
I like it. It feels like something anyone can relate back to.
It sounds like pure freedom to me. I think it is a moment to be cherished and very well written.
nicely done, very enjoyable read.

LG Dare Advice, Info, and reviews from owners?
I need a new verizon phone this upcoming month. Ive been looking at the Dare, Voyager and Glyde. But I wanted to get some personal opinions on the LG Dare. If you heard anything about them or expierenced them please let me know what you think or heard? People who have the phone let me know what you personally think of it. Thanks:]
also - I text like crazy so I just thought I'd throw that in there also because it will be a major factor in my decision on the DareLG Dare Advice, Info, and reviews from owners?
I just got my dare last friday and I love it!! It has a lot of cool features, and really good. I text a lot, too (nice you mention it) anyways, the touch screen gets REALLY annoying, especially texting before bed or something. I got fustrated easily. Its an amazing phone, but get one with a keyboard to be truthful.
Go into the store, and ask to see the phone if you're still not sure.
XoXo,
