My Favorite Reviewing Websites

As a consumer, I've read reviews for years now and that's helped me as I begin to review television shows for this blog. Reading reviews is a great way to know exactly what you're going to be getting into, whether it be in the industries of fashion, entertainment, or literature. While I don't have a favorite author or journalist who writes reviews, I do have a few favorite websites. 

Here's my go to websites for reviews in literature, movies, television and broadway plays. 

Literature

Entertainment Weekly  keeps up with more of the young adult books that I never seem to get to old for. Here's a recent review about "The Invention of Wings."

New York Times is a bit more analytical about their books and I prefer to read more non-fiction book reviews on their website. Don't forget to check out the Best Seller list as well.


Movies

Rotten Tomatoes is a great place to connect to all of the reviews written by major papers in one place. For example, here's the review page for "The Monuments Men."

New York Times is also more analytical in talking about movies but that doesn't mean they can;t be whimsical. Here's a great review of the new Muppets movie.


Television

The Hollywood Reporter keeps up with everything in the entertainment realm. Their reviews are to the point and include valuable information. Here's one about a show I'm going to cover on this blog, Mixology


Broadway plays

Being from NYC, I like to keep up with all the happenings on and off Broadway. The New York Times is a great resource to do this. Here's a review about "50 Shades! The Musical", a parody that lightheartedly ridicules the 50 Shades series.
