Using proper spelling and grammar is probably a good start. 
I know a lot of movie reviewers on the net start out with personal blogs which just review every movie under the sun and they become heaps popular. Then once they've been noticed by someone big, they get a job like that. But I'd guess that the most effective way would be getting into the journalism career, starting at the bottom and working your way up. Y'know...like everyone else does with their career.

I think the most common way is apply to be a columnist in a major media company, whether it is internet based or newspaper. That way, people will take notice of your writings. Maybe before applying those jobs you have already got an experience in writing credible reviews, starting from blogs or local/campus newspaper.
