I read an article quite awhile back about Hollywood reviewers. Basically they get a hold of the press junket and watch a couple of trailers for for a film…then write their reviews. I remember a couple of them defended doing this because they need to get the review to press deadline and they have so many films to review and seeing all of them in a week was time consuming…pffft.
