In the world of film reviews, bloggers are king. I'm not all that surprised by this, as it is generally-accepted that bloggers are slowly gaining importance against the mainstream media in all things news, and film reviews are no different.
It makes sense too. We are the people that actually watch the movies, and I would much rather read a review by a peer as opposed to some egotistic Roger Ebert type (notice how I said type... I actually don't mind Roger Ebert).
I've never really cared what individual critics had to say, but with the help of Rotten Tomatoes as well as the blogosphere it's becoming easier to sift through the BS. A good reference from a friend doesn't hurt either.
