I don't always agree with his taste but usually he is pretty good at pointing out the draw and the flaws of films. I personally think that is the job of a "reviewer". Try to inform the reader so that they'll be able to figure out whether or not the film will fit their own tastes.
Just writing "I liked it" is pointless, and too many "critics" do that. Not surprisingly, the "critics" who usually blame blogs for killing film criticism are the ones that do this the most. It's like they don't get the difference between film criticism and just criticizing.
