Fresh off the heels of the 2023 revamp, this one really looks stunning!

The new host of bluehost, and I'm currently using the domain ossuslibrary.net, which is in accordance with my author domain of warrendunn.net.

The first section to benefit is the Science Fiction book index. Check out the cool style here. Also check out the style for the Alphabetical and Chronological book indices.

I have no reviews today. Instead, I must take time to say goodbye to a baby that we never got to know. Three months in the womb, and poof, it's gone. Boy? Girl? We don't know. But somehow we got to love it as much as if we had interacted with it for even longer than that. How can you get so close to one that you haven't met? If I ever had any doubts as to when a baby becomes a person, I have none now. I had no idea that I would break down so much when we finally found out for sure. My wife knew, as mothers do, and we had started mentally preparing ourselves. But that doesn't eliminate the little spark of hope that we might be wrong. How I wish we had been wrong! Goodbye, little one. A big, very teary goodbye. We never knew you, but we miss you all the same.

Today I have posted my review of the final New Jedi Order novel, The Unifying Force. In the spirit of clearing up space for book reviews, I have removed 50 movie pages that had one-line or one-paragraph reviews. I felt that these pages did not contribute to the website, and simply took up space. I should be able to fit 25-30 new book reviews into that space, as web space is a premium on these free hosting sites. Most of the movies were from the Fiction section. I have given up new movie reviews altogether, now. I just don't have the time anymore. I will continue to update the movie pages if I watch one that already has a review on this site, but the only new movie review expected to be posted is Revenge of the Sith, in May.

A review of the Sword of Truth novella Debt of Bones was posted this afternoon.

June 15th, 2004
I have two reviews today: the Star Wars: Force Heretic novel Reunion, and my first movie review since Return of the King: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.

June 4th, 2004
I have posted my review of the Star Wars: Force Heretic novel, Refugee.

May 31st, 2004
This one has been a long time coming: the Star Wars graphic novel Victories and Sacrifices.

May 25th, 2004
My first big review since writing my 234 page thesis comes in the form of the New Jedi Order novel Force Heretic I: Remnant. I also posted some additional, short comments, for my most recent viewing of the movie Ever After.

May 20th, 2004
I have two movie re-reviews today, which are really just quick comments on my second time viewing Save the Last Dance, and Along Came a Spider. Some book reviews will follow shortly.

May 15th, 2004
I'll be back really soon with more reviews, but I've been rather busy for the last several months. I finally submitted my PhD thesis yesterday afternoon! Combined with a new baby in the house, things have been really hectic, to say the least. Today, I've added two guide pages (no reviews yet) for Star Wars books: Republic Commando: Hard Contact, and Medstar: Jedi Healer.

April 11th, 2004
I've reviewed the Discworld fantasy comedy novel Lords and Ladies.

March 30th, 2004
One book review this time around, the Star Wars Jedi Council graphic novel Leviathan, and one movie review, Tomb Raider. Both are reviewed for the second time, so the reviews are rather short.

March 23rd, 2004
I have a new book review: God Emperor of Dune, as well as some short new thoughts on American Pie 2.

March 14th, 2004
It's been a while, but I've finally seen Return of the King for a second time! Here are some new thoughts.

March 10th, 2004
I have added the guide pages to some future Star Wars books: Boba Fett's A New Threat, the Clone Wars novels The Cestus Deception and Jedi Trial, and three Republic graphic novels: Rite of Passage, Victories and Sacrifices, and Last Stand on Jabiim.

March 6th, 2004
I have given some brief thoughts to my second viewing of The Mummy Returns, as well as a new review of the Star Wars Clone Wars graphic novel The Defense of Kamino.

February 27th, 2004
I hope to write more reviews than two a month in the future, but for now, I've enjoyed another Star Trek film on DVD, The Undiscovered Country. I will eventually review Star Trek V, but have no intention of owning it, so it will be a while.

February 15th, 2004
It is definitely difficult to read a long novel, or watch a complete movie with a newborn infant in the house. We can sometimes manage up to an hour at a time. I am not currently reading any books, but I have managed to sneak in a few movies. The only one I have reviewed is Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home on DVD. As I've mentioned below, new movie reviews will be rare on this site from now on, with only my very favourites (or to complete a series) being added. Whenever I get around to my next book, it will also make it on the site. I'm not going offline yet, just slowing down!

January 30th, 2004
I've added some thoughts to my second reviews of the Star Wars graphic stories Prelude to Rebellion and Vow of Justice. I also added the guide page for the newly-announced Fool's Bargain e-book.

January 25th, 2004
Reviews for the last two regular Jedi Apprentice books are up: The Only Witness, and The Threat Within.

January 19th, 2004
Reviews may be more and more erratic, since the birth of my son (our first) on January 14th, 2004. Welcome to the world, Andre. Today, I have two more Jedi Apprentice reviews, The Death of Hope, and The Call to Vengeance.

January 12th, 2004
I couldn't resist any longer, and had to watch The Two Towers extended version again. My thoughts are accompanied by a discussion on the special features. My first book review of the year goes to the Jedi Apprentice novel The Ties that Bind.

January 4th, 2004
My first review of the new year isn't really a full-fledged review, just some thoughts as I watched Jurassic Park for the sixth time.

 

December 31st, 2003
The last update of the year contains thoughts on my third viewing of the movie Notting Hill, as well as a full book review of Isaac Asimov's Pebble in the Sky. HAPPY NEW YEAR!

December 24th, 2003
Two new reviews today: the Star Wars comic The Devaronian Version, but more importantly, the movie version of The Return of the King! Merry Christmas to everybody!

December 21st, 2003
Today I've added my reviews for Star Trek Nemesis on DVD, and the Tolkien book The Shaping of Middle-Earth.

December 8th, 2003
I've had a lot of trouble connecting to the site to upload stuff recently, followed by emergency hospitalization, from which I am recovering. So I have a bit of new stuff today, which I've been trying to post for several weeks... I added another short review for The Fellowship of the Ring (my sixth!), some comments on the extended version of The Two Towers, as well as adding a few short words about the special features of the Indiana Jones Trilogy (linked below). Finally, my review for the Clone Wars novel Shatterpoint is also available.

November 17th, 2003
I've finally reviewed the Indiana Jones Trilogy on DVD, but without the special features (yet). Here are Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade!

November 11th, 2003
My review for the Star Trek novel This Gray Spirit is finally available!

November 7th, 2003
I've reread the Darth Maul comics, and put up some second impressions.

November 2nd, 2003
I have three more reviews today: The Lion King on DVD, Star Wars: A New Hope (still on video -I hope the rumors about a DVD release by next Christmas are true), and the live production of Mamma Mia! As with movies, this will effectively close down the live section, as far as I know. I think most of what I will be seeing from now on are children's productions, anyway...

October 23rd, 2003
I have three reviews tonight: Star Trek Mission Gamma novel, Twilight, as well as the movies Tomb Raider 2: Cradle of Life and The Matrix Reloaded. These will likely be the last new movies reviewed on this site. I am running out of time, and would rather focus on books, anyway. I will continue to update movie reviews for those that already exist on this site, whenever I re-watch them. Of course, I will continue to review new (or old) Star Trek, Star Wars, Harry Potter, The Matrix and Lord of the Rings movies when they come out. In general, however, the movie sections are now closed.

October 18th, 2003
My short revisit of Mission: Impossible 2 is now available.

October 10th, 2003
A short review of the non-fiction book Bad Astronomy has been posted.

October 4th, 2003
Two brief movie reviews, for repeated viewings: Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and the V TV series premiere.

September 30th, 2003
The review of the Dragonlance fantasy novel The Soulforge is now available.

September 27th, 2003
The review for the comic tale The Stark Hyperspace War is now available.

Two reviews for today: the fantasy movie Spirited Away, and the fantasy novel Legacy of the Darksword.

September 16th, 2003
I have posted my review of the SF movie Signs.

September 13th, 2003
My new (somewhat scathing) review for Shadows of the Empire, the novel, is now available.

September 11th, 2003
It was two years ago that I was supposed to see Stomp live, but of course, nobody was in the mood to either watch or perform a rousing show that night. It seems strange that two years later, to the week, I saw the IMAX film produced by the people who made Stomp. Here is the very short review for Pulse: A Stomp Odyssey.

September 7th, 2003
I decided to watch the director's audio commentary for Attack of the Clones. I don't know what is up with the banners on this site, now. There appear to be advertising banners at the top and bottom of the page! At least most of the pop-up ads have disappeared, I guess...

September 3rd, 2003
I have reviewed the New Jedi Order short story Ylesia, as well as one of the Young Indiana Jones adventures, The Phantom Train of Doom. I have decided to split up the Boba Fett short story Salvage from the TPB where it was included, Enemy of the Empire. Not that I wanted more web pages, but I thought, since it was a separate tale, with different authors and artists, it deserved its own page. I also split the "recent updates" page in two for 2003. Older updates from this year can be found here.

August 31st, 2003
My review for The New Jedi Order novel Destiny's Way is now available.

August 24th, 2003
The last two reviews, which allow me to be temporarily caught-up! The SF book Obernewtyn, and Boba Fett: Enemy of the Empire, for the second time.

August 20th, 2003
Three more reviews, and I am almost caught up! I watched V: The Original Mini-Series again, this time on DVD, and I finished Isaac Asimov's SF book The Currents of Space. Finally, I went to see Miss Saigon, live, and decided it merited a short review.

August 15th, 2003
Now quite recovered from that massive power blackout, but since I can't go to work, I thought I should catch up on some reviews. Today I have a fantasy movie, Labyrinth, revisited, and my first viewing of the SF movie X-Men United.

August 9th, 2003
Today brings a science fiction book review, Probability Moon, followed by a science fiction movie review, Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines.

August 6th, 2003
Two reviews today, of older movies: Star Trek Generations, and the original American Pie.

August 1st, 2003
My reviews for the ninth Star Wars: Galaxy of Fear novel, Spore, and the SF movie Alien Nation, are on-line.

July 24th, 2003
My review for the excellent Apollo: The Race to the Moon, is now available.

July 16th, 2003
I yawned through the Star Wars comic stories Infinity's End and Starcrash. Hopefully the reviews inspire less drowsiness.

July 13th, 2003
I have revisited Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves on DVD.

July 2nd, 2003
The review for the final book of the Icewind Dale Trilogy, The Halfling's Gem, is now available, as is the movie review K-Pax.

Two more reviews, the movie The Mummy, revisited, and the Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion book.

June 22nd, 2003
Now available are the IMAX movie review Adrenaline Rush, and book 2 of the Icewind Dale Trilogy, Streams of Silver. I have also completed my review of the last bits of the Right Stuff DVD special features.

Two more reviews tonight: The graphic novel Mara Jade: By the Emperor's Hand, revisited, and the DVD for The Right Stuff.

June 15th, 2003
Two SF movie reviews today, both revisited on TV: Star Trek: First Contact, and The Matrix.

June 12th, 2003
The reviews for the fantasy novel The Crystal Shard, and the SF mini-series Children of Dune, are now available.

My first review of the month goes to the New Jedi Order novel Traitor.

May 26th, 2003
My review for the long-overdue SF novel Aftershocks is now available.

May 22nd, 2003
It has been a while since the site has been updated... Here is my review for the graphic novel Jedi vs. Sith.

May 7th, 2003
The reviews for the third Star Trek movie, The Search for Spock, and Isaac Asimov's first Galactic Empire novel, The Stars, Like Dust, are now available. It was also announced yesterday that -finally- the Indiana Jones movies are coming to DVD this November!

May 4th, 2003
Two reviews have been posted today: the SF movie Battlefield: Earth, and the Live musical of Anne of Green Gables.

Two more Jedi Apprentice reviews, books 10 and 11 The Shattered Peace, and The Deadly Hunter.

March 31st, 2003
My review of the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine novel Abyss is now available, as well as my revisit of Shrek, on DVD.

March 27th, 2003
My latest review is a revisit of The Two Towers movie. I've also updated the Star Wars Timeline to include several of the new Dark Horse comics upcoming graphic novels, as well as the guide pages for Jango Fett: Open Seasons and Legacy of the Jedi.

March 25th, 2003
Another IMAX double-feature, in Ring of Fire and Jane Goodall's Wild Chimpanzees.

March 22nd, 2003
I just love long books, especially if I can keep myself from reading them too quickly. Terry Goodkind's Sword of Truth novel Faith of the Fallen was well worth the time spent on it, and the very long review.

March 11th, 2003
The reviews for the movies Robin Hood (the Disney animated version), and Stargate (on DVD) have been added to the site, as well as a revisit to the Star Wars X-Wing comic Mandatory Retirement.

March 6th, 2003
The review for the comedy/fantasy novel Witches Abroad is now on-line. The guide page for my next novel, the Sword of Truth book 6: Faith of the Fallen, is also available.

March 3rd, 2003
An IMAX double-feature: Bears, and some more notes on Space Station! I also removed the Columbia tribute, hard as that was to do. It has only been a month, but with the new modifications to the site, I am anxious to return to its original state. My mind still goes with Columbia, however.

February 23rd, 2003
I reread the Jedi Council: Acts of War graphic novel, and added a few comments to my previous review. I have also added an alphabetical listing of all the books available on this site.

February 21st, 2003
My lengthy review of The New Rebellion is now on-line. I've also moved all of the "notes" from the year 2002 from this page to its own.

February 18th, 2003
The review for American Beauty, on DVD, is now available. I also updated a very small paragraph in my Attack of the Clones DVD review about the special features.

February 12th, 2003
The thief movie Entrapment has been briefly reviewed, as well as the non-fiction history and philosophy of science book Against Method.

February 10th, 2003

February 4th, 2003
My review for the New Jedi Order novel Rebel Stand is now on-line.

February 3rd, 2003
My heart broke on Saturday February 1st, when I saw the break-up of the space shuttle Columbia on landing approach, as it did back in 1986 when Challenger exploded. The images were a lot more subtle this time, especially after 16 successful days in space. I was numb and pretty much speechless for most of the day, and I still can't think of suitable words for this tragedy. My heart goes out to those closest to the seven astronauts. As they have said, may the dream of space travel continue.

I'm watching Star Wars: Episodes I and II back-to-back. The review for my sixth viewing of The Phantom Menace is now available.

January 31st, 2003
The review for the Star Wars: New Jedi Order novel Rebel Dream is now on-line. Also, the guide pages for the rest of the Force Heretic Trilogy are up, with the covers for Refugee and Reunion.

January 27th, 2003

January 21st, 2003
My review of the SF book Dust is finally available.

January 20th, 2003
I have written a review for the movie concerning Apollo 13, and added the latest e-book announced at the Star Wars web site, A Forest Apart.

January 15th, 2003
The review for The Phantom Menace graphic novel is now available.

January 12th, 2003
I have reviewed, once more, Moulin Rouge -I can't get enough of that movie!

January 7th, 2003
The review for the SF novel A Fire Upon the Deep is now available.

January 5th, 2003
I have reviewed Anne of Green Gables 3, the Continuing Story on DVD, as well as the Director's commentary and Appendices of The Fellowship of the Ring extended DVD.

January 3rd, 2003
Welcome to 2003! My first review of the year belongs to the new Star Trek movie: Nemesis.

December 31st, 2002
I have finally finished my review of The Two Towers, part 2 of the Lord of the Rings. I also included the guide page for the SF novel I am currently reading, A Fire Upon the Deep, which I likely won't be finished until early January, which means this is likely the last update of the year. Happy New Year everybody!

December 23rd, 2002
I have reviewed the Christmas movie The Preacher's Wife, and the live Leahy Christmas Concert. Merry Christmas to everybody!

December 21st, 2002
My review of the movie Forrest Gump is available, as well as what will probably be me last book review of the year (only because I'm likely to be too busy to read much in the next week), the Galaxy of Fear Book 6: Army of Terror.

December 17th, 2002
I have four new reviews tonight: two Galaxy of Fear books: The Nightmare Machine, and Ghost of the Jedi, as well as a Republic graphic novel, Darkness, and the latest Harry potter movie, Chamber of Secrets.

December 13th, 2002
Another Galaxy of Fear review is up, for Planet Plague.

December 11th, 2002
Going through the first six book of the Galaxy of Fear series means I really have to keep up with the reviews! The second book, City of the Dead, has now been reviewed. I have also finally written my review of the IMAX film Space Station.

December 9th, 2002
I have started reading the Star Wars Galaxy of Fear books, starting with Eaten Alive.

December 5th, 2002
I have added a note on my re-visit of the mini-series Jack and the Beanstalk. Also, the review of the short story collection Once Upon A Time is available.

December 2nd, 2002
The review for the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine's Avatar, Part 2, is now available.

November 28th, 2002

Also, I have added a few titles to the Star Wars Timeline, in the Jedi Quest (The School of Fear and The Shadow Trap) and Clone Wars sections, as well as the final titles to the New Jedi Order (but no covers, yet).

November 18th, 2002
I have completed the review for the Tolkien book of poems: The Lays of Beleriand. Also, I have added two pages of Star Trek books, Avatar 1 and Avatar 2, which I will be reading next.

November 17th, 2002
Two more movies today: the SF spoof Galaxy Quest, and the extended DVD version of The Fellowship of the Ring (finally!).

November 11th, 2002
I have made up my mind to update pages for movies that are already present on this site, like my latest viewing of the James Bond film The World is Not Enough. However, the only new movies added to the site will be either SF, Fantasy, or five stars, at least until I run out of space here at tripod.

November 8th, 2002
I have revisited the Star Wars graphic novel Crimson Empire, for the second time.

November 5th, 2002
Two more SF movies tonight: Minority Report and Reign of Fire.

November 2nd, 2002
Two fantasy book reviews today: The Silmarillion Audiobook and Green Rider. All sections of this website have been updated with a subtly new style, removing the annoying gradient in the text of the review, especially. There should be no more broken links. The next phase of renovations begins... Finally, the search engine was updated today.

October 31st, 2002
Two movie reviews today -both science fiction: ET on DVD and The Time Machine.

October 26th, 2002
My review of The Green Mile will be the last movie review in the non-SF and Fantasy sections. I may continue to review five-star movies, and will definitely keep the Science Fiction (with the AOTC DVD and IMAX coming soon) and the Fantasy (with the LOTR DVD also coming soon) sections running for the foreseeable future.

October 21st, 2002
The reviews for the movie Beauty and the Beast, and for the Star Wars graphic novel Zam Wesell are now available. I have also rearranged a little bit of the Library. The Archive page is now gone, split into two in the Science Fiction and the Fantasy sections, and all books that were not SF&F have been removed.

October 15th, 2002
I have finished and updated my review of Isaac Asimov's Robots and Empire. The review for the graphic story Jango Fett is also up.

October 12th, 2002
The review for the DVD release of Monsters, Inc., is now available. The entire Fantasy book section has also been fixed of broken links, better background, and a more consistent structure, which is readable by IE and Netscape (except, inexplicably, the index scripts). Finally, the summary pages for Books and Movies have been updated, as well.

October 9th, 2002
The entire SF book section has been fixed of broken hyperlinks and the Netscape problem, as far as I can tell. I am also on the verge of removing all of my movie reviews, as I no longer have the time or desire to continue with them. I have yet to make a final decision, though.

October 5th, 2002
The reviews for two comedies, My Big Fat Greek Wedding, and the musical Grease, are now available. The entire Star Wars directory (now split in two) should be available without broken links by now, including brand new guide pages for the Galaxy of Fear books. Finally, the guide page for my current book, Asimov's Robots and Empire, is also up.

October 2nd, 2002
The review for the IMAX film Africa: The Serengeti is now available.

September 29th, 2002
The review for the SF short story anthology Nebula Winners Twelve is available.

September 27th, 2002
My review for the less-than-stellar Dark Journey is now available. I have also added the guide page for my current book, the short story anthology Nebula Winners Twelve. I apologize for the many broken links in this site. I have renamed a couple of directories, and am working on restoring everything. It should be back together soon.

September 24th, 2002
I have reviewed the comedy movie Liar Liar.

September 20th, 2002
My short review for the movie Message in a Bottle is up.

September 18th, 2002
The review for the SF -alternate history novel 1632 is available. I don't know why my javascript menus don't work in Netscape. I've tried them on other domains, and on my hard drive, and they work perfectly. I'm working on the problem, but if you're curious, you can access any of the reviews from the summary pages for books or movies.

September 16th, 2002
The review for the live show Rent is now up. The fixed Netscape-capable pages don't look exactly the way I want them, but pretty close. The site looks best with Internet Explorer. Start with the last eight New Jedi Order books.

September 15th, 2002
I have posted the review for the mini-series Jack and the Beanstalk. It has also come to my attention that very few of the pages on this site work with Netscape Navigator. I have found the problem in the html, but it will take a while to fix, and I am using this as an opportunity to clean up some of the existing pages. All pages posted from now on, however, will work with both major browsers. Finally, the guide page is up for the next Star Wars New Jedi Order novel: Force Heretic I: Remnant.

September 10th, 2002
The review for the Star Wars graphic novel The Sith War is now available.

September 5th, 2002
The short review for Music of the Heart is now available.

September 3rd, 2002
The review is now available for the graphic novel Vader's Quest. I have also updated the Timeline to include the Galaxy of Fear young reader series, since I will likely be reading them soon. They don't have individual pages yet, because I don't have good quality cover scans. But expect that to change as I obtain and read them. I have also reviewed the IMAX film India: Kingdom of the Tiger.

August 31st, 2002
The long review for the longest Star Wars book, Star by Star, is finished! I also added to the timeline the guide page for the upcoming New Jedi Order e-book, Ylesia.

August 27th, 2002
I have reviewed the movie A Beautiful Mind, and re-reviewed the Star Wars graphic novel Dark Lords of the Sith. To reduce the size of this page, I've removed all notes prior to August 2002 to its own page.

August 23rd, 2002
The review for the DVD version of V: The Final Battle, is now available. I also altered the Archive page a little, adding some commentary that I couldn't resist! Somehow, this shortened the length of the page. Finally, I have added the guide page to Tolkien's Silmarillion, because I've been intermittently listening to the audio book of that story -unabridged- and will be soon finished!

August 19th, 2002
I have another review ready, for the thriller movie Don't Say A Word.

August 18th, 2002
After a long absence (including a nice vacation), I have finally returned to review the Star Wars novel Children of the Jedi.

July 19th, 2002
I have reviewed the drama movies A Walk to Remember, and Anne of Green Gables, the Sequel. Also, I have renamed the IMAX section as a Non-Fiction movie section, to take into account other non-fiction work that I decide to review.

July 16th, 2002
The reviews for the two bounty hunter graphic tales, Boba Fett: Twin Engines of Destruction, and Kenix Kil, are now available.

July 13th, 2002
I have added some feelings about the special features on the Dune mini-series DVD, which I had not watched at the time of the original review. Also, I have finally put up a short review of Episode II, since I saw it for the second time a full week ago! And I have reviewed two of the four stories in the Bounty Hunters graphic novel, Aurra Sing, and Scoundrel's Wages.

July 9th, 2002
The review for the graphic novel Knights of the Old Republic is available. I have also added the guide page to another non-fiction book that I am perusing, Then Lord of the Rings Official Movie Guide, and have made some changes to some of the Star Wars guide pages, including the addition of the Bounty Hunters graphic stories, and changing the ongoing comic series to its new name of Republic.

July 8th, 2002
I've finally written my review of the novelization of Attack of the Clones. Also please note that the search engine has been updated.

July 3rd, 2002
I've read and reviewed the second Tales of the Jedi graphic novel, Fall of the Sith Empire. I have also reviewed the DVD version of the Dune miniseries. And there has been yet another new Star Wars junior novel announced: Master of Disguise. Finally, the guide page for the book I'm currently reading, Soul of the Fire, by Terry Goodkind, is up.

June 26th, 2002
I went back in time and decided to reread the Tales of the Jedi series of graphic novels. The first one, The Golden Age of the Sith, has been reviewed.  I also reviewed the comedy movie Princess Diaries. And there have been three new Star Wars books recently unveiled: a cool-looking classic-trilogy book, Tatooine Ghost, the third Jedi Quest novel, Dangerous Games, and the second book in the Young Boba Fett series, Crossfire!. The guide pages for these books are available.

June 22nd, 2002
I added the reviews for the IMAX film Legend of Loch Lomond, and the Star Wars novel, The Approaching Storm. Also, I "accidentally" watched Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone again.  Accidentally?  How did I manage that? 

June 17th, 2002
Nothing important; I fixed a bunch of broken or insecure links today.

June 15th, 2002
No reviews today, but I have done some reorganizing, again, of the site.  Just because! I have removed the mini-series section, and have dispersed those films into their general categories.  I have also split the Science Fiction and Fantasy movie section into two: Science Fiction, and Fantasy, bringing it into line with the book sections. I especially like the Fantasy banner! Of course, there are a few movies that we might argue about categories...  I also moved some movies in from other sections, which were long overdue. Enjoy! Finally, I updated the Summary pages, for Books, Movies, and Live shows.

June 13th, 2002
The review of the Harry Turtledove's second colonization book, Down to Earth, is now available, along with my fourth visit to Anne of Green Gables, this time on DVD..

June 5th, 2002
The reviews for the two IMAX films, The Human Body, and The Old Man and the Sea, are available.

June 3rd, 2002
I have finally put up my review for the live show Riverdance, and the DVD movie Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.

May 31st, 2002
The reviews for the novel Ancient Shores, and the Spider-Man movie are now available. The guide page for my current read, the Colonization book Down to Earth, is also available.

May 29th, 2002
I have reviewed the classic movie The Road Warrior.

May 24th, 2002
I have added the review for the mini-series Dinotopia.

May 22nd, 2002
The reviews for the Jedi apprentice novels, The Captive Temple, and The Day of Reckoning, are now available.  I have also put the guide page up for the book I am currently reading, Ancient Shores.

May 20th, 2002
The review for Attack of the Clones, the movie, is now available!  I have also updated the Star Wars book timeline, based on information that I have gleaned from recent books.  The updates are subtle, and not likely very noticeable (in the Jedi Apprentice and New Jedi Order sections).

May 17th, 2002
The review for the next Jedi Apprentice novel, The Captive Temple, is up.  And I am going to see Attack of the Clones tomorrow night!  I can't wait!

May 15th, 2002
I have reviewed the Star Wars graphic novel Twilight, and the young reader novel Defenders of the Dead.

May 13th, 2002
The reviews for the fantasy book Wyrd Sisters, and the Star Wars Jedi Apprentice novel The Mark of the Crown, are up.

May 12th, 2002
I have added the reviews for the movie Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.  I don't know why I had that movie in the drama section -it really belongs where I put it now, with the other action movies.  The guide page for the Star Wars New Jedi Order novel Destiny's Way is also available.

May 2nd, 2002
I added the image for the Attack of the Clones graphic novel, as well as the guide page for the fantasy book I am currently reading, Wyrd Sisters.

April 30th, 2002
I have completed the Darksword Trilogy with Triumph of the Darksword, not such a triumph in my opinion.  I also finished my pre-Attack of the Clones Star Wars movie refresher (not that I need one, but it's always a good excuse!) with Return of the Jedi.  Finally, I bought the DVD for Moulin Rouge, which requires another review!

April 23rd. 2002
The review for Doom of the Darksword is finally up.  Also, I have added the guide page for Star Wars: The New Jedi Order: Traitor.  Is that Anakin on the cover?

April 15th, 2002
Three new reviews today, along with real summer weather (up to 28 C tomorrow!):  The novel Forging the Darksword, the nonfiction book Tolkien's Ring, and the mini-series Mists of Avalon.

April 9th, 2002
I have reviewed the Star Wars graphic novel Emissaries to Malastare, and the movie O.

April 5th, 2002
The review for E.T.: The Extraterrestrial is up.  I have also updated the search engine for keyword searching (even though I haven't had a search for three months), as well as the three summary pages: Book, Movie and Live.

April 3rd, 2002
I have reviewed the New Jedi Order novel Rebirth, and the movie The General's Daughter.  Also, the Rogue Squadron comics have finally all been reviewed with the addition of Requiem for a Rogue to my list.

March 31st, 2002
The reviews for two incredible movies are up: Moulin Rouge and The Empire Strikes Back!

March 26th, 2002
I have reviewed the New Jedi Order book Conquest.  Also, continuing with my retro-reviews of graphic novels, here is the one for the Rogue Squadron Warrior Princess collection.

March 22nd, 2002
After four days of being sick and miserable, unable to concentrate even to watch a movie or read pages of a book or magazine, I am back up to speed.  I have reviewed the novel The Robots of Dawn, and the movie Clear and Present Danger.  Also, I also added an extended summary and review of the comic Battleground: Tatooine, which never had a before full review.

March 15th, 2002
The reviews for the movies Aliens and Stepmom are now available.  Also, the Bravenet counter should be working again, and I added the guide page for Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones!.  Finally, I have introduced part-marks!  I was very reluctant to do so, but my latest novel pushed me over the edge.  Some things do not fit into my very rigid categories.  So I have begun to retroactively rate the movies that I know deserved an extra push in either direction.  I have not yet completed the new ratings page, but expect it up sometime soon.

March 11, 2002
I have added the review of the live show Lord of the Dance, and the mini-review of the Star Wars guidebook, The Essential Chronology.  I also added an extended summary and review of the comic The Phantom Affair, which never had a full review before.   

March 8th, 2002
The site that keeps track of visitors temporarily went down a short while ago, meaning the index page was not able to load under certain conditions.  Bravenet is dealing with the problem, but I have fixed the loading problem for now.  The counter should be back after the weekend.  The latest review, however, Die Hard with a Vengeance, is now up.

March 3rd, 2002
This was not a good weekend, ratings-wise!  All four items received the same rating, though some were better than others.  In order of bad to good, here are the reviews for the IMAX film Yellowstone, the Star Wars prequel novel Cloak of Deception, the Star Wars graphic novel Underworld: The Yavin Vassilika, and the IMAX film The First Emperor of China.  As far as IMAX films go, I think the festival this month will keep me quite busy!

February 28th, 2002
The review for Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves is up.

February 25th, 2002
I have finally finished my review for Darth Maul: Shadow Hunter.

February 21st, 2002
I have added the review for the Star Trek book A Stitch in Time, and the guide page for the graphic novel Jedi vs. Sith (it was delayed because I was hoping the cover was inaccurate; unfortunately, it looks like the cover art, at least, will really look like that).  I also made a couple of small additions to the Darth Maul comic and Wild California.

February18th, 2002
I have added the reviews for the Darth Maul graphic novel, and for the IMAX film Wild California.  Recently, I discovered three reviews of live concerts that I wrote years and years ago.  After some debating, I decided to put them up, regardless of the inferior quality of the writing and style.  It does, after all help bolster the size of the infant section.  The reviews are for the 1989 Debbie Gibson concert, and the 1992 concerts given by Bryan Adams and John Mellencamp.

February 14th, 2002
The review for Harry Turtledove's Second Contact is up.  I also replaced (finally) the poor quality image for the IMAX film Cirque du Soleil: Journey of Man, and added the guide page for the book I'm currently reading, Garak's own A Stitch in Time, a Star Trek DS9 novel.

February 8th, 2002
I have placed my reviews of the mini-series Random Passage, the movie A Walk to Remember, and my 72nd viewing of Star Wars: A New Hope online.  Also, I have two new guide pages up for the Star Wars universe:  Boba Fett book 1, The Fight to survive, and finally ATTACK OF THE CLONES!

February 4th, 2002
I have reviewed another Star Wars graphic novel, the prequel Jedi Council: Acts of War, and added the guide page to the final Jedi Apprentice novel, the special edition The Followers.  Also, my review of The Glass House is up.

February 1st, 2002
I made a few cosmetic changes to the front page of the site, and to some of the "list" pages that appear to the left of the screen.  I also added the guide pages for two Star Wars Jedi Quest novels, The Way of the Apprentice and Trial of the Jedi, and for the SF book I am currently reading, Harry Turtledove's Second Contact.  Finally, I have finally found the old Gavin Darklighter's Holocron, which has changed names to the Swamp-Wampa Holocron!  Glad the author made it to a new site after fan.starwars.com shut down, because he had a great site!

January 29th, 2002
I have finally reviewed Balance Point.  I also transferred all the "notes" for 2001 onto its own page, shortening this one.

January 28th, 2002
The reviews for the movies Inventing the Abbotts and Being John Malkovich are up.

January 25th, 2002
I have reviewed my second viewing of The Fellowship of the Ring, and also the Star Wars book Jedi Eclipse.  Finally, I have updated the Star Wars timeline with a bunch of new Prequel titles.

January 18th, 2002
The review for the New Jedi Order book Hero's Trial is up!  I have also made some minor (barely noticable) changes to the Young Indiana Jones section, and have updated the Welcome letter to reflect the current home of the Ossus Library here at tripod.com.

January 16th, 2002
I have reviewed the IMAX film Shackleton's Antarctic Adventure, and the non-fiction book The Making of Dune (the movie).

January 11th, 2002
I am very late with this latest review of The Phantom Menace on DVD, but here it is, with a new cover scan!  I have also finished reviewing my second shot at The Truce at Bakura.  I decided to review three Stargate novels that I found lying around (I read them years ago), before I gave them away to the local library.  So here are some short summary/ reviews of Rebellion, Retaliation, and Retribution.  Enjoy!  Finally, the Ossus Jedi Library is back, moved away from the now-defunct fan.starwars.com network.  Check it out.

January 1st, 2002
Happy New Year, and welcome to the year 2002!  For the new year, I have a review of a DVD I received for Christmas -Star Trek: The Motion Picture.  I have also reviewed JRR Tolkien's Unfinished Tales.  Finally, I am removing the fantasy book Dragons of Summer Flame from my bookshelf, so I sat down, flipped through it, and wrote a short review, mostly in the form of an extended summary.  Enjoy!

December 28th, 2001
As promised, I have added the reviews for A Christmas Carol, starring Alastair Sim, and of the fabulous Fellowship of the Ring.  I also found some better images for the covers of some of the Stargate books, so I replaced the poor ones that I had there.  Finally, I have placed an alphabetical list of all the movies and live shows that are available on this site, similar to the book summary that I recently made (which is chronological).

December 22nd, 2001

This will likely be the last update before Christmas -so Merry Christmas!  After Christmas, look for the review of The Fellowship of the Ring, the 1951 version of A Christmas Carol, and more!  Currently, I have added the review for Rush Hour 2.  I have also added the guide pages for the latest Star Wars title announced, Rebel Stand, and the book that I am currently reading, J.R.R. Tolkien's Unfinished Tales.  On and off, I am reading The Making of Dune, the movie, so I have also added the guide page to that book.  Finally, as of yesterday, the old site of fan.starwars.com has finally shut down.  I am sad to see it go.

December 14th, 2001

The search function has finally been fixed!  Try it out!  I have also added the reviews for the Asimov novel The Naked Sun, and the Fantasy movie Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.  Finally, I've added a few books that I discovered on an old list to the Archive page.

December 7th, 2001

The reviews for Dune Messiah and the live concert for Leahy are up.  I have also found new images for three Jedi Apprentice novels, The Call to Vengeance, The Only Witness, and The Threat Within, for which the guide page is also up.  I know that the search engine no longer works.  I am in the process of setting up with a new company...

December 4th, 2001

I have added the reviews for the comedy Austin Powers 2, and the SF movie Planet of the Apes.  Also available now is a copy of the Guestbook I had at fan.starwars.com.  I didn't want to lose that stuff.

December 1, 2001

This is strange.  I just finished site additions to my site at tripod.ca, and the site has disappeared!  I can't figure this one out.  So I have started up a new site, transferring all my stuff again, to ossuslibrary.tripod.com.  Please come and join me...

December 1st, 2001

Big news:  According to starwars.com, the fan.starwars.com network is shutting down as of December 20th, 2001.  As a result, the Ossus Library has moved to ossuslibrary.tripod.com!  Come on over and check out the new location.  My final update at that location places my review of the comedy movie The Wedding Singer and the guide page for my next book, Dune Messiah, on the site, as well as two summary pages, accessible from the main index.  THERE WILL BE NO MORE SITE ADDITIONS TO THAT LOCATION.  All future site updates will take place at the new location.  Thanks for the couple of years of visiting, and please follow me as we travel across the galaxy to our new home!

November 23rd, 2001

The review for the novel The Alien Years is up.

November 20th, 2001

I have short reviews for Monsters, Inc., and for the original Mission Impossible movie.

November 15th, 2001

The reviews for The Hidden Past and Outlander are up.  And I am happy to announce that my new Star Wars Timeline is now completely operational!  I think it looks better than it ever has.

November 11th, 2001

The reviews for The Dark Rival, and the movie Apocalypse Now are up.  I am currently reloading the Star Wars section in the new index format, so some of the pages may be unavailable for the next few days, as they get updated.  Please bear with me...

November 8th, 2001

I have added the review for the Star Wars Jedi Apprentice novel The Rising Force.  I also added the reviews for two movies, the action Soldier and the romantic comedy Notting Hill.

November 5th, 2001

My review for the New Jedi Order Dark Tide book 2, Ruin, is up.  All of the sections of this web site except for the Star Wars section have been updated with the new indices.  I am aware that some of the Star Wars links are no longer valid, and am working to fix this as I update that section.  Stay tuned!

November 1st, 2001

The reviews for the IMAX film Amazing Caves and my 4th time watching Evita are up.  The Drama movie section has also been updated to the index format.

October 28th, 2001

The review for the New Jedi Order Dark Tide book Onslaught is now available.  I have also updated the movie sections of Animated, IMAX, Mini-Series, SF and Thriller to the new JavaScript index format.  Where the movie images were of poor resolution, I tried to get better scans of them, including all the Star Wars movies and many animated ones.  Let me know what you think!

October 26th, 2001

I finally found a picture for the Jedi Apprentice book Call to Vengeance.  I have also finished uploading the changes for all the Features and Book sections except for Star Wars (which, because of the volume, will take much longer).  I'm sure some of the links will be broken between some of these pages, and as soon as I find them (or you let me know when you find one), I'll fix them.  Meanwhile, most of the menubars on the index pages that have not been updated yet do not work, and will be fixed as I get to the rest of the sections.  Thanks for visiting!

October 23rd, 2001

I have added the reviews for the Star Wars graphic novel Redemption, and the SF movie Gattaca.  Many more pages have also been added to the new format.
 

October 20th, 2001

I finally finished Temple of the Winds, and the review is up.  I have also added the guide page for the Star Wars e-book Darth Maul Saboteur.  Finally, the new major redesign has been implemented in the Fantasy and SF sections, and will be added to the rest of the sections in the near future.  Hope you enjoy it!
 

October 15th, 2001

I have added the guide page for the New Jedi Order e-book Recovery.  I also updated the search engine as of today.
 

October 10th, 2001

The review for the live performance of The Lion King has been posted.  I also put up the guide page for the book I'm currently reading, Terry Goodkind's Temple of the Winds.  Expect yet another redesign soon for the site, perhaps using frames or JavaScript for the indices instead of full pages.  
 

October 4th, 2001

I have posted the reviews for the comedy Someone Like You, and the drama Save the Last Dance.  I have also added the guide pages for the upcoming Star Wars Jedi Apprentice books, The Call to Vengeance and The Only Witness.  I don't have an image for the former, but since I had one for the latter, I decided to put both up.
 

October 2nd, 2001

The reviews for Prelude to Rebellion and the short story that accompanied it, Vow of Justice, have been posted.  I have also created guide pages for the upcoming Star Wars stories The Approaching Storm, and Jango Fett.
 

October 1st, 2001

I have merged the three non-fiction book pages into one, called Non-Fiction.  It is still possible that there are some errant links to those pages that were removed.  But the main index page and the banner menus have been appropriately changed.  I think the main index is more visually attractive now, though I don't know how much longer I will stick with the banner menus.
 

September 27th, 2001

I have finally placed up the very late reviews for the movies Final Fantasy, Tomb Raider, and Rush Hour.  I have also finished the Star Wars book Rogue Planet.  Enjoy.
 

September 22nd, 2001

The review for Asimov's Fantastic Voyage is up.
 

September 19th, 2001

I have taken a week off -not on vacation, not really.  I was so stunned and numb from the horrific and devastating attack in New York last week that I couldn't read or write reviews.  Like (probably) everybody else, I was stuck to the TV, unable to comprehend this tragedy.  My heart goes out to all the people who knew somebody involved, especially loved ones.  My reviews of the live performance of Stomp, and the Star Wars books Vector Prime and Chewbacca all reflect this mood.  I have also added the review for Star Trek: Insurrection, written more recently.  Between the tragedy on Tuesday, and the wonderfully beautiful wedding of a good friend (thanks Carol!), I am still a little behind on reviews, but hopefully will catch up soon.  Call it a week of tribute, because that's what it was.  
 

September 10th, 2001

The reviews for the movies Enemy at the Gates and The Wedding Planner have been added to the site.
 

September 7th, 2001

I have finished the reviews for the V TV series premiere, and for the novel Dune.
 

September 5th, 2001

I have added the reviews for the movies Chocolat, and Unbreakable.  The Star Wars page has been busy, as I have added the guide pages for three books: Jedi Apprentice book 15, The Death of Hope, and two New Jedi Order books that will be coming out in 2002, Dark Journey and Rebel Dream.  I also changed the font on the Star Wars and the SF pages, which I think has condensed them nicely.  I'm still working on ways to shrink the timeline down even more.
 

August 29th, 2001

I am up to date now, having posted the reviews for the animated film Atlantis, and the mini-series V: The Final Battle.  I also archived the first half of this year into the Site Notes 2001 file, making this notes page much smaller to load.
 

August 27th, 2001

I have finally added the reviews for the third Uplift Storm book, Heaven's Reach, and the first Discworld novel to feature Granny Weatherwax, Equal Rites.
 

August 22nd, 2001

I've added the review for American Pie 2.  I have also removed the animated gif images from the front page of this site.  I think they were making the page unnecessarily slow.  Let me know if you want them back, though...
 

August 20th, 2001

Tonight I added the reviews for the the first V miniseries, and for the animated film Mulan.
 

August 15th, 2001

I have added the review for the last Star Wars X-Wing novel, Starfighters of Adumar, and the action movie Jurassic Park III.
 

August 13th, 2001

I have added the reviews for The Empire Strikes Back (my 41st viewing!) and the drama K2.  I also added the guide page for the SF book I am currently reading: Heaven's Reach.
 

August 10th, 2001

I have finished reading and reviewing Isard's Revenge, and have put up the guide pages for the Star Wars comics Emissaries to Malastare and Twilight.
 

August 8th, 2001

The review for America's Sweethearts is up tonight.  I also added the guide page for the Star Wars novel Jedi Quest.  Finally, I've added a link to another Star Wars fan site which gives detailed biographies of the Jedi Knights we know of.  I think it is a good complement to this site.  If only the author could be convinced to give the source book or movie where the information comes from for each Jedi...
 

August 6th, 2001

I have added the review for The Caves of Steel.  Also long overdue is the final review for Lando Calrissian and the Starcave of Thonboka.
 

July 31st, 2001

The review for the SF novel Hung Out is up tonight.
 

July 30th, 2001

I have added the reviews for the movies The Mummy Returns and A Knight's Tale.  I also added the guide page for the Jedi Apprentice novel Ties that Bind. (I'm getting really far behind on the Star Wars books.  I can't get my hands on Isard's Revenge, one of the last two books I have to read before starting in on the New Jedi Order and the Prequel stories.)
 

July 23rd, 2001

Tonight I added the reviews for my second viewing of the IMAX film Dolphins, and for the graphic novel version of The Hobbit.  I also added the guide page for the book I am currently reading, Hung Out.
 

July 21st, 2001

I have finally added the reviews for The Mummy, and for the great and very long book The Mageborn Traitor, bringing me currently up to date.
 

July 19th, 2001

I am back from vacation!  Tonight I added the reviews for the horrible O Brother Where Art Thou movie and the wonderful live production of Annie.  The guide page for the Star Wars Graphic Novel Jedi Council: Acts of War, is also up.  I still  have a couple of reviews backlogged, too!
 

July 8th, 2001

I have written a short review for the Star Wars Annotated Screenplays.  I also added the review for Lando Calrissian and the Flamewind of Oseon, and expect the have the review of the third book up soon as well.  
 

July 3rd, 2001

I finally added the (scathing?) review for my second reading of The Courtship of Princess Leia.  I have also put up the guide page for the book I am currently reading, The Mageborn Traitor.  It is nearly 800 pages, so don't expect the review anytime soon!  But look back for movies all the time.
 

July 2nd, 2001

I have added the reviews for the animated movie Shrek and the IMAX film Gold Fever.  I also added my review for Lando Calrissian and the Mindharp of Sharu, since I will be removing the Lando Calrissian Adventures from my bookshelves soon.
 

June 27th, 2001

The review for Billy Elliot is up.  I have also added the guide page for the Star Wars novel Star By Star, and fixed several broken links.
 

June 24th, 2001

The reviews for the X-Wing novel Solo Command and the graphic novel of Luke and Mara's wedding, Union, are up.  The guide pages for the Star Wars graphic novels Underworld and Redemption (which has finally been scheduled for release!) have also been added to the site.

 

June 21st, 2001

I have added the review for the drama movie The Ice Storm.  Some of the other index pages have had the new interactive menus added as well.  It appears that they are only slow on Internet Explorer, and only sometimes.  When I placed the exact same menus on a different server, they didn't hesitate at all, so it must be the fan.starwars.com server.  We'll just have to be patient.
 

June 19th, 2001

The reviews and extended summaries for Han Solo's Revenge and Han Solo and the Lost Legacy are now up.  I have also reviewed the live performance of Disney's Beauty and the Beast.  Wow!
 

June 15th, 2001

  Tonight I added the reviews for the movie Pearl Harbor, and for the SF book To Fear the Light.  I have stopped putting up the new menus on the guide pages until I figure out why they are loading so slowly.  Stay tuned!
 

June 13th, 2001

  I've added the review for The Lion King, my 5th viewing!  I am also about to remove the Han Solo Adventures from my bookshelf, so I flipped through it again and wrote an extended summary and mini-review for the first book, Han Solo at Stars' End.  The two others will follow shortly.  The Star Wars page has also been updated with the latest information on the Jedi Apprentice series, including Deceptions.
 

June 8th, 2001

  I added the guide page for the book I am currently reading, To Fear the Light.  Also, starting tonight, I will be putting up the new menus.  This will probably take a little while to do, but currently, I've put them on the Science Fiction and Star Wars pages, this page, and the Notes archive.
 

June 4th, 2001

  I have added the review for the Star Wars graphic novel Shadows of the Empire: Evolution, as well as the Disney animated movie Dinosaur.
 

May 30th, 2001

  It feels like it's been a lot longer since I've updated this site!  Tonight, I have the book The Martian Race and the thriller movie I Still Know What You Did Last Summer for you.  I also updated the final review for the Deep Space Nine Companion.
 

May 25th, 2001

  I have added the long-overdue reviews for the SF novel The Bridge, and the IMAX movie Dolphins.
 

May 16th, 2001

  I added the review for Grey Owl tonight, as well as the guide page for the Darth Maul comics.
 

May 15th, 2001

  I have added the review for my second viewing of Charlie's Angels, and the final Junior Jedi Knights novel, Kenobi's Blade.
 

May 13th, 2001

  I have added the reviews for the two Junior Jedi Knights books, Anakin's Quest and Vader's Fortress.  I also added images for the Young Reader page concerning the Galaxy of Fear novels.
 

May 11th, 2001

  Tonight I added the reviews for the Star Wars book Jedi Knight, and the comedy Bridget Jones's Diary.
 

May 9th, 2001

  I've added the reviews for my 5th viewing of Jurassic Park, and my 4th viewing of The Phantom Menace!
 

May 2nd, 2001

  I added the reviews for three Star Wars comic stories: Jedi Academy Leviathan, The X-Wing Rogue Squadron Prequel, and the first X-Wing Rogue Squadron comic: The Rebel Opposition.
 

April 30th, 2001

  I added the reviews for the movie Wag the Dog, as well as the Fantasy novel Blood of the Fold.
 

April 21st, 2001

  I have heavily modified the page with my Favourite Links, deleting some that are no longer valid, and adding quite a few.  I have also modified the main index page.  I now give the first paragraph for each review, which is always my first impression of the book or movie.  Also, I broke down the index images into separate pictures, which makes it a little easier to load, and allows people to view the index without images enabled on their browser.  Finally, the guide page the Star Wars Outlander is up, as well as the book I'm currently reading, Blood of the Fold.  Enjoy.
 

April 12th, 2001

  The review for The Horse Whisperer is now up.
 

April 10th, 2001

  The review for the movie Along Came a Spider is up.
 

April 8th, 2001

  The review for the Star Wars X-Wing novel Iron Fist is now up.  I have also updated the search engine for this site.
 

April 4th, 2001

  The review for the X-Wing book Wraith Squadron is up.  A also finished updating the Star Trek and Young Indiana Jones sections, completing my updates to the new format style.  I also fixed the rest of the broken links (except for a couple on the Links page); as a result, all of the links on the Old Notes page have been removed (there were just too many broken ones).  I'll take a break on style updates for a little while, but I do have some more things in mind for the main index pages.  Coming soon...
 

March 31st, 2001

  I finally finished the review for the Star Wars graphic novel Mandatory Retirement.  I also fixed many of the broken links that have cropped up since I began reformatting many of the sections, and I finished updating the Science Fiction and Fantasy movie section to the latest format.
 

March 29th, 2001

  The reviews for the Comedies Miss Congeniality and What Women Want, as well as the IMAX film Great North, are up.
 

March 26th, 2001

  The review for Dragonfly, the book about Mir, is up.  The Animated and Comedy movie sections have received the new border format, too.
 

March 24th, 2001

  I added the review for the movie Return to Me.
 

March 20th, 2001

  The reviews for the movies The Kid and Gone in 60 Seconds are up.  I've finally updated the Action movie section to the new border format, and made the Star Wars Timeline easier to read (I hope)  by compressing the font.
 

March 14th, 2001

  The review for the comedy Meet the Parents is up.  The new format has been initiated for all of the book sections, as well as the Live section.
 

March 7th, 2001

  I have put up the guide page for the Star Wars New Jedi Order book 2 of the Agents of Chaos (whew!): Rebirth.
 

March 4th, 2001

  The reviews for books two and three of the Junior Jedi Knights, Lyric's World and Promises, are up.
 

February 28th, 2001

  I added the reviews for two Star Wars books: Dark Forces Rebel Agent, and the Junior Jedi Knights' The Golden Globe.  I also saw two movies, and the reviews are up here, too: the terrific Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and the pathetic Austin Powers (the first one).  I also added the guide pages for two new Star Jedi Apprentice books, one of which will not be available until the fall.
 

February 25th, 2001

  I have added some new enhancements in the Star Wars and Fantasy book sections, but I am having trouble seeing images at all on my site.  Is this an isolated problem, or is anybody else having this trouble, too?  I have contacted support, but so far no useful answers.
 

February 21st, 2001

  Added the review for the movie Air Force One, and the Book of Lost Tales, Part II.
 

February 18th, 2001

  Added the review for The Negotiator.  I have also finally added a ZERO rating to my scheme.  I was tired of lumping poor movies in with abysmal ones, so this was really necessary.  I will be updating the required pages as I update the sections to the latest format.  
 

February 12th, 2001

  Added the review for the movie Eraser.
 

February 10th, 2001

  Added reviews for The Fugitive and Cast Away.
 

February 7th, 2001

  I added my lengthy review for J.R.R. Tolkien's Book of Lost Tales, Part I.
 

February 4th, 2001

  I think I've fixed the problems with the Star Wars titlebars.  Only time will tell.  I also added the guide pages for the Jedi Apprentice books.
 

February 3rd, 2001

  I finally added the review for three movies: the thriller Hollow Man, the IMAX Migrations, and the drama Story of Us.  I also updated the titlebars in The Thriller, IMAX and Mini Series sections.  I realize there are some problems with some of the Star Wars titlebars, and I'll try and correct them today, also.  
 

January 26th, 2001

  I have changed the titlebar format to all 118 pages in the Star Wars section (boy what a lot of work that was!).  I hope all the links are still good.  Do you like what I've done?  Let me know!
 

January 25th, 2001

  Added the review for Utopia, by Roger MacBride Allen.
 

January 18th, 2001

  HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOANNE!  Today I added my review for Vertical Limit.  While in line, I noticed a sign saying "no refunds for the movie 13 Days".  I asked the cashier, who told me that too many people were buying tickets, watching the Lord of the Rings trailer, and then leaving, asking for refunds on the way out! 
 

January 15th, 2001

  I added the guide page for the latest release by Dark Horse Comics: Chewbacca.
 

January 11th, 2001

  I added the reviews for the movie 28 Days, and for the book The Bacta War.
 

January 6th, 2001

  I added the reviews for the book The Krytos Trap, and for the movie Girl, Interrupted.  I also simplified the main gateway so that it doesn't take so long to download.  I want that to be a redirection page only, so that people can go to the real index page faster.
 

January 1st, 2001

  Happy New Year!  I have completely overhauled my main index page -hope you like it.  I am trying image maps for the first time.  All notes and site updates for 2000 have been moved to the archive (see below).  I love my new banner, which should appear on every page.  The copyright year has also been changed.  I also added a section for Live Shows, since I have enjoyed so many of them in the last few years.  I put a review of the stage production of The Secret Garden in there.  I will add the other two reviews sometime later.  I also added my review of the Dune mini-series.  I don't know how the News section will work out, but I hope to announce things like book releases and upcoming movies there.  Only time will tell...  In the months to come, I will be adding new navigation buttons to the tops of all my pages.  I have yet to find a satisfactory layout though.  

December 30, 2000
  Added the reviews for the IMAX films T-Rex and Amazon.

December 23, 2000
  I changed the animated gif on the main page so that it was a little easier to look at.  Depending on your download speed, the book images used to be out of synch.  I also added the guide page for the latest (and last) Rogue Squadron graphic novel, Mandatory Retirement.  I don't know if I'll get a chance to update again before Christmas, so Merry Christmas to everyone.  Hopefully I'll get at least one more update before the new year.

December 22, 2000
  Added the review for Patrick Stewart's A Christmas Carol.

December 20, 2000
  Added the review for How the Grinch Stole Christmas.

December 16, 2000
  I have finally finished the review of Bicentennial Man.  The guide page and review for the fantastic Infinity's Shore is also up.

December 11, 2000
  Finally added the review for Kiss the Girls.  I guess I was in a good mood.  :-)  The page is up for Bicentennial Man, but no review as yet.  I also added a preview on the front page of some new headers that will start making their way onto the web pages in the new year, while removing the annoying text at the bottom that takes so long to load.  If you want to see what it used to say, I say it better in my Welcome Letter.  Finally, I also replaced Yoda the Jedi Master image on the front page with a hilarious picture from the front of a Christmas card set I sent out last year.  I love that picture!  Enjoy.

December 7, 2000
  I'm still here, and I'm writing the promised reviews.  But I've been really busy thiese last couple of weeks, but I've finished defending my PhD thesis proposal (I still have years to go on the actual research) on Wednesday (Dec. 6).  I'm out of town for the weekend, but hopefully soon after that I'll have the two movie reviews up.  At this point, I'm halfway through Infinity's Shore, so that review won't be up for a while.

November 26, 2000
  Finished consolidating all of the Fantasy books onto a single page.  This should make it easier to navigate this section.

November 25, 2000
  Added the review for Robot Blues, book 2 of the Mag Force 7 trilogy.

November 21, 2000
  Added the reviews to two movies: the action U.S. Marshals, and the SF movie Frequency.

November 18, 2000
  I have made a few cosmetic changes to the site.  The "Other Fiction" page has been removed, since it seemed silly to keep the empty page.  I also brought all the Science Fiction books to the same index page, and provided navigation within the page.  I didn't like the idea of having to skip between two pages to get all the books.  I will do the same with the fantasy books in the future.  Finally, I moved the Star Trek books to their own directory.

November 17, 2000
  Added the reviews for the X-Wing novel Wedge's Gamble, and the movie Charlie's Angels.

November 11, 2000
  Take a moment to remember those who have fallen for our chance at freedom, on this Remembrance Day.  Today I added the review for my second viewing of Toy Story 2, and I finally finished updating the existing poortions of the Star Wars Timeline to the new format.  I will be adding the New Jedi Order soon, and will add a couple more pages that are not quite part of the timeline.  I've finished Wedge's Gamble, but have not had a chance to review it yet.

November 3, 2000
  Added the reviews for the book Rogue Squadron, and the movie The Associate.  I also updated the Star Wars timeline up to the end of the Crimson Empire saga.

October 26, 2000
  Added the review for the movie Dune, and updated the Rogue Squadron comics in the Star Wars Timeline.

October 22, 2000
  Updated the Star Wars book between Empire and The Truce at Bakura.

October 17, 2000
  Updated the Star Wars books between A New Hope and Empire.

October 14, 2000
  Added the review for The Ruins of Ambrai.  I have also updated all of the Star Wars pages for the books that take place before A New Hope to the new format.

October 13, 2000
  I have started updating the Star Wars Timeline.  So far, I have just done the Tales of the Jedi, but eventually it will all get done.  As I mentioned in my Welcome Letter, many images needed updating, and I am doing that at the same time as I update the pages.  As a result, this section is taking longer than any other.

October 9, 2000
  Updated the entire Young Indy section to the new format, and added a new titlebar to those pages, and to the main page.  I also added the review for the movie Out to Sea, and I have made up a new page with my favourite links.

October 6, 2000
  Added the reviews for Dr. Dolittle, and City of Angels. I am also trying out a new colour for some of the titles.  I'm not sure if I like it yet, but it does add colour, which I found was missing, at least from the index pages.

October 3, 2000
  Updated the rest of the Drama section to the new format.

September 30, 2000
  I updated the first half of the Drama Movie section to the new format.  I never realized how many dramas I've seen in the last year!  I also added a page for my new Deep Space Nine Companion, which I hope will become an ongoing review until I finish it.

September 27, 2000
  I just realized that yesterday was the first anniversary of this site being on the internet!  Wow!  But I don't think anybody ever visited it until I moved to fan.starwars.com.  Today I added the review for Stuart Little, and I updated the entire Comedy section to the new format.

September 25, 2000
  Added the review for The Making of Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace.  I also divided up the page I used to call "Others", into two pages, one for guides about the Star Wars Universe, including character, vehicle, and story information, and the second one for information about Star Wars, the movies, behind the scenes, the art, and so on.  While I was doing that, I decided to do something similar for the Star Trek guides that I own.  So there are four new guides on the Star Trek page.

September 24, 2000
  Added the review for the movie Double Jeopardy, and updated the rest of the action movie section to the new format.

September 23, 2000
  All day yesterday, I couldn't figure out how it was possible that my counter went from 200 hits to over two thousand!  But then I received the Star Wars Homing Beacon.  I was totally blown away that I could be featured there.  My apologies to those of you looking for an email address, who couldn't find one.  I really didn't think that anybody would be that interested in emailing me.  For posterity, I am trying to save the Homing Beacon to a page, but haven't figured out how to do it without recreating the whole thing from scratch.

  To accommodate all those who emailed me, I added my email address to all of the guide pages, as well as the front page.  I also added my name to the front page.  I also added my review for my second viewing of The Tigger Movie, and I updated the entire Animated Movie section to the new format.  Finally, I fixed up a few pages that had errors on them from my new formatting attempts.

  To all who emailed me and / or signed my guestbook, thanks so much for your attention!  To the person who noticed me and put the Ossus Library in the Homing Beacon, I am overwhelmed, and thank you so much.

September 17, 2000
  Added the reviews for the movie The Patriot, and the graphic novel X-Wing Rogue Squadron: Masquerade.

September 16, 2000
  Added the review for Shadow Star, and updated the entire (first half) of the Fantasy section, and the Star Trek section, to the new format.

September 10, 2000
  Updated the rest of the Science Fiction section, and all of the nonfiction sections to the new format.

September 8, 2000
  Added the review for the movie Tin Cup, and updated the surrounding movie pages to the new format.

September 5, 2000
  Added the review for the IMAX film Africa's Elephant Kingdom, and updated the entire IMAX and Miniseries sections to the new format.

September 1, 2000
  Added the review for What Lies Beneath, and updated the entire Thriller movie section to the new format.

August 31, 2000
  Added the review for the book Stargate: Resistance, and updated it and its neighbours to the new style.  Boy, this is taking a long time!

August 25, 2000
  Added the reviews for Run Lola Run, and for Gladiator, both, of course, in the new style.  The movies to either side of them were also changed to the new style.

August 24, 2000
  I changed a few more pages of the SF section to the new format, as well as changing the background on the Archives and Links section, though no other changes were made to those pages yet.  The most noticable change belongs to the Index page, though I am not finished with it yet.

August 20, 2000
  Added the review for the movie X-Men, and updated some of that section to the new format.

August 19, 2000
  Added the review for Brightness Reef, the first book in the "New Uplift Trilogy".  This page, and a few others in the SF book section sport some new changes that I really like, including a new background, repeated graphics, and a new box for displaying the book's title and information.  More will follow in the next few days.

August 16, 2000
  Modified the stars and year graphics, so that they appear better on the new background that I am testing out, and so that they are all located in one place.  The changes are not noticeable on the black background, and should also be invisible on the new ones.  This page is the first one to support the new background, but there are other test cases scattered through the site.

August 15, 2000
  Added the review for the movie Cutthroat Island.

August 10, 2000
  Added the review for Jerry Maguire, my third time seeing this movie.  I've also finally finished my revamping of the Star Wars Timeline.  I love the new header, and I've removed the "bulges" in the lightsaber, with the dates in them.  They were just too hard to keep aligned with the background.  The new dates are right on the page, and I think they look great.  I also much prefer the grey background to the blue.  The new Star Wars logo has also been added to the Index page.  Now I think I will try and do something with the Star Trek logo.  Only time with tell...  I also had a chance to update the main title page.  I am not quite satisfied with it yet, but it is starting to look better.

August 9, 2000
  Added the review for The Perfect Storm.  I am currently revitalizing my Star Wars Timeline.  I am tired of the blue background.  It should be done sometime soon.  It looks good so far, but I still have a few things left to do with it.

August 5, 2000
  Added the review for the book Portraits of Discovery, by George Greenstein.

July 31, 2000
  It has taken me a long time to get back up to date with the reviews, but here are the two last ones, Where the Heart Is, starring Natalie Portman, and Erin Brockovich, starring Julia Roberts.  I also updated a couple of outdated links.

July 30, 2000
  Finally finished and reviewed Stone of Tears, by Terry Goodkind.  Also added the review for the Star Wars graphic novel Crimson Empire 2: Council of Blood.

July 29, 2000
  Added the review for the Young Indy adventure Tales of Innocence.

July 22, 2000
  I think I've done it:  the Star Wars Timeline seems to look fine in both Netscape and Internet Explorer.  We'll see if it survives!  I have been on vacation for a couple of weeks.  Before I left, I watched The Matrix on video.  The review is finally up now that I've returned.

July 3, 2000
  Added the review for my third viewing of the animated movie Tarzan.

July 1, 2000
  Added the review for the final book in the Star Wars Bounty Hunter Wars: Hard Merchandise.  It has also come to my attention that the Star Wars Timeline does not look good when viewed at high resolution (or sometimes with IE5).  So I am in the process of fixing it.  Don't expect me to get it exactly right this time, but I'm trying!

June 27, 2000
  Added the review for the Star Wars book Slave Ship, and the movie Mission: Impossible 2.

June 20, 2000
  Added the review for my fourth viewing of Jurassic Park, and replaced some index pages that mysteriously disappeared in the site move last week.

March 22, 2000
  Added the reviews to three movies I saw on the weekend:  Two dramas, Random Hearts and Angela's Ashes, and a comedy, Waking Ned Divine.  I also added the review for Star Trek Dominion War Book 1: Behind Enemy Lines.  Finally, I updated some pictures, notably of the Star Wards graphic novels, and of the various non-fiction books that I still have on my bookshelves.  I finally decided to buy a scanner!  No more blanks in the cover picture spot!

March 18, 2000
  Added the review for the Young Indy adventure The Phantom Train of Doom.  I also added the review and extended summary for Star Wars: Dark Empire, since the graphic novel will be removed from my bookshelf soon.

February 21, 2000
  Added the reviews for Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (my 8th viewing), and the Star Wars extended summaries for Heirs of the Force, Shadow Academy, The Lost Ones, and Lightsabers, books one through four of the Young Jedi Knights.

  Added the reviews for The Tigger Movie, and the astronomy book Cosmic Adventure.

February 16, 2000
  Added the reviews of the fabulous fantasy movie The Dark Crystal, and the excellent Young Indy adventure, Trenches of Hell.  I also added three new Young Indy adventures to my acquired list.  Only four more to go, and I will own all of the episodes that have been released on video.

February 13, 2000
  Added the review for Tolkien's Poems and Stories.  Since I had read several parts of this book before, in earlier collections, I removed them from the Archive page, and added them to the new review page.  Also added the review for Career Opportunities.

February 9, 2000
  Added the extended summary to Star Wars: Planet of Twilight, as it will be soon removed from my bookshelf.  I also removed the Book and Movie News page, as I can't keep up with it, and there are many more (and better) sources out there.  I also added some more "targets" to the Archive page, for easier navigation.

February 6, 2000
  Added the reviews to my 22nd viewing of Raiders of the Lost Ark, and the illustrated novel Dark Forces: Soldier for the Empire.  Adjusted the Young Indy page to reflect a new addition, while I had to return one, because the tape was of poor quality.  Unfortunately, the store didn't have the Secret Service Adventures left, so I got the Trenches of Hell, instead.

February 3, 2000
  Added the reviews to the concluding novel of the Worldwar saga: Striking the Balance, and the Young Indy episode Treasure of the Peacock's Eye.

January 30, 2000

January 16, 2000
  Added the review of the bad movie Payback.  Also added detailed summaries to the two Droids graphic novel adventures: Kalarba and Rebellion, since they, too, will be permanently removed from my bookshelf.

  Added the reviews for the novel Han Solo: Rebel Dawn, the IMAX film Wolves, and the Young Indiana Jones and the Attack of the Hawkmen episode.

January 7, 2000
  Added the reviews for Labyrinth, and my second viewing of Prince of Egypt.  Also added the review for Book 2 of the Han Solo Trilogy: The Hutt Gambit.  Since I am removing the following graphic novels from my bookcase permanently, I flipped through them and added a detailed summary of each one:  The four Star Wars Newspaper strips: The Early Adventures, In Deadly Pursuit, The Rebel Storm, and Escape to Hoth, as well as Splinter of the Mind's Eye.  Watch out, many spoilers!

  I also added a Star Wars News tidbit.  There are more news items, but I have to find them first!  And finally, I received a lot of Young Indy videos and the Older Indy Trilogy in widescreen for Christmas.  It will take a while to watch and review them all, but I updated the Young Indy page to show what I have... and have yet to watch!

January 2, 2000
  Added the review for Die Hard 2.

December 31, 1999
  I've been busy watching movies and reading books in the last week, it seems.  Added the reviews for the movies The Relic, The Muppet Christmas Carol, Anna and the King, and The Nutcracker, and for the books Worldwar: Upsetting the Balance and Han Solo: The Paradise Snare.

December 23, 1999
  Added the reviews for my second viewing of The Sixth Sense at the Mayfair double bill theatre.  At the same time, The House on Haunted Hill was playing.  I thought it was a different movie, but I stayed and watched it nonetheless.

December 14, 1999
  Added the reviews for Inferno, and Young Indy: Spring Break Adventure

December 7, 1999
  Added the reviews for Jingle All The Way, and Rogue Squadron: In The Empire's Service.

November 30, 1999
  Added the review for Face / Off.

November 28, 1999
  Added the reviews for the book Tilting the Balance, and the movie Anywhere but Here.  Finished the Drama Movies reviews, and I streamlined the other review indices (not that anyone should notice 8-)).

November 24, 1999
  Added a new Star Wars News item.

November 20, 1999
  Added the review for Young Indy Chapter 20: The Mystery of the Blues.  Also added the Action Movie reviews.

November 16, 1999
  Added the reviews to Ransom, and The Bone Collector.  I also noticed that I had neglected to change my template when I started making the movie reviews.  The index bar at the top still said Previous/Next Book.  I changed the all the icons to Movie.  Oops!  Finally, I added the SF movie reviews.  Only Drama and Action left.

November 13, 1999
  Added the complete reviews of all the Comedy and Thriller movies.  I only have three sections left, and then it's just basically maintenance for this web site!  All the archiving will be done.  I still want to tweak the Star Wars Pages, though.  That will come after I finish with the Movie Drama, Action and SF sections.

November 12, 1999
  Added the review to the movie Anaconda, as well as the reviews for the Animated and  IMAX movies, and mini-series.

November 11, 1999
  Added the review to Harry Turtledove's Worldwar: In the Balance science fiction novel.  Updated the News page.

November 5, 1999
  Finished the Action and SF movie index pages.  Also added a page for the Young Indiana Jones Chronicles.  It is barely begun, but as I acquire more of the videos, I will add to it.  Three of my favourite links changed this month!  NASA, Ottawa Movies, and Star Wars vs the World.  I've updated them on my Links page.

October 31, 1999
  Added the reviews to The 34th Rule and Crimson Empire.  Also added all the movie index pages, except for Action and Science Fiction.  The individual ratings pages for the movies will be up at a later time.  I have rearranged the site contents at the bottom of each index page.  It now takes up less vertical room.

October 24, 1999
  Finally finished the Archives!  There are still a few things to do to make it more user-friendly, but the content is finished.  There were also a few additions to the Space and Biography pages.  The review for Wizard's First Rule is up also.  I tweaked the main index -I think I made it easier to navigate, with less vertical scrolling. Added a page for Book and Movie News, featuring, of course, only the news that I find relevant to the books and movies that I enjoy.

October 19, 1999
  Updated more of the Archive.  Also added a book to the "other" non-fiction page, and several to the Space/ Astronomy page.  I should have the review for Wizard's First Rule up soon.

October 11, 1999
  Updated about half of the books Archive.  Fiddled around with the Star Wars Manuals page a little.

October 5, 1999
  Completed all of the Book sections except for the archive. Added images to the Star Trek books.  Added the missing links to the Links page.

  Added the Welcome Message, and the review for Korolev.
  Completed the SF M to Z section.  Added images to Stargate: Reconnaissance (McCay) and Dragonlance: The Second Generation (Weis and Hickman).

September 24, 1999
  Finally put the web pages on-line.  All the Star Wars books, and a few from all the other categories.  No movies yet.
