DVD David's love for the movies began in college, where many midnight showings of classic films seeded a deep passion for the medium. When laser discs arrived as a high quality video alternative, David began collecting film classic for home viewing with that format. When dvd went mainstream, David traded in his laser discs for his first dvd player. As his collection grew, he felt a need to express his opinion about the dvds he was purchasing so he started dvdcorner.net. Over the years, David has had different reviewers help contribute to the site and is thrilled to have Dave Anderson join him in writing reviews for the site. David continues to write reviews while maintaining the site.
His most exciting experience with the site was being invited to Hollywood by Dreamworks (along with other webmasters) for a special screening of Gladiator, with Ridley Scott and Russell Crowe in attendance.
David lives in the rainy Pacific Northwest with his family and watches a lot of dvds in his home theater. His theater consists of a Sony HS10 1080i projector, Oppo dvd player, Panasonic Blu-Ray player, Pioneer receiver, and Acoustic Research speakers. He also enjoys digital photography, music, The Beatles and Macs.
David is constantly looking for new features to add to site and welcomes readers input into his site.
Dave Anderson lives, teaches and watches movies in the Portland area. He's married with two daughters, two cats & one mortgage. In addition to writing reviews for DVDCorner.Net, he writes music reviews, articles & interviews for ElectricBasement.com. Off and on, he's been working on a book, tentatively titled Movies of Mass Destruction, about his favorite guilty pleasure, disaster films.
In addition to movies, he loves NASCAR, cooking breakfast, Stephen King, cartooning, caffeine, jet-skiing, Motorhead & poker (even though he sucks at it). He hates cell-phones, Adam Sandler, rap music, reality TV & cleaning house. Dave's favorite movies are Jaws, The Godfather, Pulp Fiction, The Shawshank Redemption, Sorcerer, The Good the Bad & the Ugly, The Usual Suspects, The Longest Yard, JFK & The Towering Inferno.

Lulu
Lulu began as a pre-med at the University of Chicago, a school she chose because Indiana Jones went there. She ended up with a film degree from Michigan. Go figure. Learned the art of the snarky review from Terry Lawson of the Detroit Free Press, who seemed to think she was good at this whole critic thing. Aw, he's sweet. She's trying not to go to grad school for journalism or worse yet, law school. Oh, and yes, she's got a screenplay.
Lulu also writes reviews for any website that's kind enough to publish them. She lives in Portland, with her boyfriend, and her cats, Hot Texas-style Chilly and Kubrick, the remainder of three brothers that Lulu raised and named after John Huston, Orson Welles, and well, Stanley Kubrick. She also has a turtle named Turtle. She didn't name Turtle. He probably would have been Hitchcock if she did. They look alike.
Bob Ham
Bob Ham is a freelance writer from Portland, OR. He writes for a variety of online and print publications including The Oregonian, Relevant Magazine, Dagger Magazine, Performer Magazine, LivePDX.com, Junkmedia.org, and, of course, DVD Corner.
William Crawford
William Crawford is a fan for most genres, but is a sucker for foreign dramas and obscure horror films. He lives in Portland, OR and has contributed to Willamette Week and other local publications. His current favorites include Takeshi Miike and Pedro Almodovar.
David Loitz
David Loitz is a Portland native who's love for Film led him to California Institute of the Arts to get a BFA in Film/Video. He is a filmmaker and Extended Care Teacher at OES where he teaches in the first and second grade division. He is known to be opinionated about films and would rather see a bad movie then one that was just okay. Loves foreign films and BBC Comedies including GreenWing, Peep Show and Red Dwarf. "Spanking the Monkey" seen in 7th grade awoke him to the power of movies to tell all kinds of stories. He has a hard time naming just one favorite movie but loves Werner Herzog and Julain Donkey Boy, he was obsessed with Jim Carrey through his youth and can claim a collection of over 200 pieces of Jim Carrey Memorabilia. He also write for the blog 97211.net and can be seen in a movie theater or watching a dvd most nights of the week, if a Trail Blazers game is not on.
Chris Tucker
Chris Tucker works at the Broadway location of the best little video chain in Portland, Videorama. He enjoys pressuring customers to rent movies that he likes and then ridiculing them if they don't like his picks. He does other things too.
Part of the rotating line-up of detectives in NBC's popular "Mystery Movie" series in the early 70s, "McMillan & Wife" may have saved Rock Hudson's acting career (such as it was), but it hasn't aged nearly as well as, say, "Columbo." This two disc set may hold some nostalgic value for those who grew up with the series, but it neither the concept nor the lead characters are as interesting as a lot of the other crime dramas of the era. From Universal.
