What I liked about Ebert is that he seemed consistent, and that's what I want in a critic. I found that often I disagreed with him, but my disagreement was predictable. So usually I could translate his low or high rating to my personal enjoyment.
The critic that seems to be most compatible to my tastes, and relatively close to Ebert, is James Berardinelli from http://www.reelviews.net http://www.reelviews.net. I almost never feel different about films than he does, so it's a great way to filter the deluge of films.
Similarly, Alan Sepinwall, who currently writes for Hitfix, seems to be be very close to my tastes when it comes to TV Shows. Sadly, Hitfix is one of the worst sites I've ever visited, but I bother going there for his take on new and old shows.
(His re-reviews of classics like The Wire are really nice, by the way. Lotta stuff I missed that he points out and makes me appreciate the show even more).
