Any film reviewer worth their salt got to that point by actually doing the work and establishing their reviews as timely, reliable, and fair. I'm not talking about the guy from the Hartford Gazette-Recorder or whatever, but those critics whose name we know. Chris Gath became known not because he was given the label of "official reviewer," but because he simply put out a lot of reviews in a professional manner. Jack99 seems to be headed in the same direction.I'd rather see someone rise through the ranks and become a reviewer than just having someone placed up there. You can give someone the official title, but they don't earn it until they've proven it.There are a couple of reviewers for OBS who are fairly reliable, just not timely (and that's not to rant, just that they have their hands full). Megan Robertson is one (and she sends emails to let you know they are posted) plus one other name which escapes me right now.</blockquote>
