Mark Ramsey
Tomatometer-approved critic
Mark Ramsey is the MovieJuice guy. MovieJuice is read by many of the most important folks in the movie business. Roger Ebert picked MovieJuice as one of the net's top twenty movie sites, ranking it second in the category "Online Outlaws" - right behind Harry Knowles and Ain't It Cool News. Joel Siegel and Steven Spielberg read MovieJuice, so there's no accounting for taste. MovieJuice! has been featured numerous times on E! Entertainment Television and VH1. Mark Ramsey is a board member of the Broadcast Film Critics Association, the nation's largest film critics organization.
