Handyguy (aka Randall Byrn) is a marketing professional in New York. A transplanted Southerner, he has been a movie buff since birth. He's always secretly wanted to be Pauline Kael, and Blogcritics gives him an approximation of that, or so he likes to fantasize at least. Handy has a film degree from USC.
