All calendar dates on this site are in standard American notation:
2004 updates now archived All of the updates for pages added in 2004 have now been archived, and along with ones from previous years are accessible through links at the bottom of this page.
Better late than never, I suppose I guess Alex has recently rewatched his Bubba Ho-Tep dvd, since he finally finished a review he had promised me over a year ago. Could a review of 28 Days Later be far behind?
Constantine Ogre3000 gives us a positive, although not overwhelmingly enthusiastic, review of Constantine, starring Keanu Reeves and based on the Hellblazer comics.
H. G. Wells in Hollywood David Longhorn, our resident British SF expert, now turns his critical eye on three different film productions based on the work of H. G. Wells - The War of the Worlds (1953), The Time Machine (1960), and The Time Machine (2002).
More Vampire Earth I have again added to my review of E. E. Knight's SF book series. If you haven't read the first two books, or my review of them, click on this link - The Vampire Earth. If you want to jump direct to my review of the third novel, click here - Tale of the Thunderbolt.
Doctor Who With a new Doctor Who series now airing in the UK after a hiatus of more than fifteen years, David Longhorn takes this opportunity to look back on the previous Doctors and give us A Highly Prejudiced Overview. I'll be adding to that page as soon as David sends me an update.
Sin City Ogre really, really likes Sin City, the new film based on the graphic novels by Frank Miller, and co-directed by Miller and Robert Rodriguez.
Doctor Who Redux David Longhorn has updated his overview of the British television series Doctor Who, with thoughts on some of the other incarnations of the character since his original review.
Don't Forget Your Towel! Ogre3000 reviews Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
Sith Happens! There's likely to be more reviews shortly, but the first take on Revenge of the Sith belongs to Ogre3000.
Oops! Finally, Nebulas/Hugos Updated I really thought I had done this already, but I guess I got side-tracked. Over a month late, but I finally updated the Hugo/Nebula pages to reflect the most recent Nebula winners along with those nominated for the upcoming Hugo Awards.
Here's some math for you... David Longhorn returns with reviews of five SF films:
Holy Batman Mythos! Ogre says they got it right this time. He really, really likes Batman Begins.
Fear and Loathing in the Land of the Dead Alex (Mohr Stoutbeard) reviews the latest zombie flick from George Romero - Land of the Dead.
War of the Worlds I've just uploaded my review of Steven Spielberg's latest, War of the Worlds, based loosely on the H. G. Wells novel.
Is Fantastic 4 really fantastic? At least Ogre seems to think so. Check out possibly the only review of Fantastic 4 that says it does not suck.
Late again, but I've got reasons I've had some computer problems the last couple of weeks, but hopefully that is all resolved for now. Also, because this year's World Science Fiction Convention was held early (it's usually around the Labor Day weekend), I am late in reporting the winners of this year's Hugo Awards, and I also updated the Books at Amazon and Films at Amazon pages to include all of this year's winners and nominees.
Serenity NOW! It is now one month from the official U. S. release of Joss Whedon's Serenity. My initial review is spoiler-free (in my opinion at least), but if you are extremely spoiler-phobic, read at your own risk. A full review will follow in a month's time.
He Walked Among Us by Norman Spinrad A couple of years ago Norman Spinrad sent me the first two chapters of this novel as a test to see if people would be interested in downloading the full book. Apparently that process was not that successful, so now he has made available an RTF file with the full text of He Walked Among Us as shareware. Download it, read it, share it with others, and if it is within your means send a little money his way.
The Brothers Grimm I think the majority of negative reviews I have seen for this film were from people convinced they would not like it beforehand. I went to see it expecting Gilliam to dazzle me once again, and The Brothers Grimm did not disappoint.
Serenity Redux I finally finished my full, spoiler-filled review of Serenity, although to avoid anyone seeing that page by mistake I am only linking to it on my original Serenity page. Don't click that extra link for the full review if you have not seen the movie and don't wish to be spoiled for it. Dong ma?
The New Harry Potter Eliza Dolots, who has reviewed all the previous Harry Potter films, continues the tradition with her thoughts on the latest, The Goblet of Fire.
ekt takes on Avatar ekt has provided a very enthusiastic review of the new Nickelodeon animated series, Avatar: The Last Airbender. Enjoy!
It's good to be the King! Ogre3000 gives an ecstatic review for Peter Jackson's King Kong.
