...internet sites that over time you find you can trust.Personally, I triangulate by reading the reviews in the two local newspapers, Entertainment Weekly and the occasional ones in Newsweek.
The Entertainment Weekly website has all the current and older reviews.

I only pay to go see films in theaters that are 'large enough' to justify the cost. Otherwise it's a DVD rental from the local Hollywood Video. I like to be able to pick one up on an impulse, so I haven't tried Netflix, which requires too much advance planning.
The Sunday newspaper here also has a table of all the current releases graded by a pool of 40 film critics with a numerical rating.
Other than those sources, you can ask a friend.
