Dave White (born June 7, 1964 in Portsmouth, New Hampshire) is an American writer, music critic, and film critic.
White is a prolific freelance writer. His reviews, interviews, and critical analysis of films, music, and pop culture has been featured in The Village Voice, Instinct, The Advocate, Movies.com, Glue, and Frontiers, among others. His writing stint as a music critic for Instinct began as a result of a letter to the editor about their existing coverage of music.
White attended Texas Tech University, graduating in 1982.
White was also film critic for the online website IFILM and writes film reviews for the website Movies.com. He also does work for MSNBC.com, including coverage of the 2006 and 2009 Academy Awards.
White, who is openly gay, lives in West Hollywood, California with his husband, Alonso Duralde, a writer, film critic, and the former arts editor of The Advocate. White and Duralde co-host the Linoleum Knife podcast, which began airing in late 2010.
Books
When White and his partner moved from Texas to California in 1999, he sent a number of his friends an email to update them about what was happening. Many of White's friends forwarded the entertaining emails on to other people, and the emails grew into a blog.
In 2006, White's blog from that year was published as a book entitled Exile in Guyville: How a Punk Rock Redneck Faggot Texan Moved To West Hollywood and Refused To Be Shiny and Happy. White has since performed many readings across the Pacific Coast, including locations such as Sacramento, Long Beach, Hollywood, and San Francisco.
