document.write(''); Editor's Choice: Short Fiction Reviews by David A. Truesdale Dave Truesdale has been reading science fiction and fantasy for forty years. For the past four years he has edited TANGENT The Only Short Fiction Review Magazine. It was runner-up for the 1997 Hugo Award. The intent of this column is to present reviews of selected short fiction that strike Dave's interest as his reading for Tangent continues. If you would like to read more short fiction reviews, try Tangent For more of David's opinions, we've put together a table of contents for other Editor's Choice columns Magazines For information on the contents of an issue or for subscription details, you can try the following sites: Asimov's Science Fiction On Spec Cemetery Dance Interzone ... Tomorrow SF Analog Science Fiction and Fact, February 1998 "Olympus Mons!" Bud Sparhawk "The Orchard" Paul Levinson "Roll Over Vivaldi" Stephen L. Burns "What's It Like?" Jerry Oltion "Mortal Instruments" Shane Tourtellotte "The Tale of the Cat" Poul Anderson Shane Tourtellotte tells the morality tale of a competent musician who desires more than anything to become what he is destined never to be: great, and the desperate lengths to which he will go to reach his goal. He seeks an experimental bio-medical enhancement giving him perfect pitch, which sets him above all others and momentarily gives him all he could desire: fame, fortune, and respect. But there is a price to pay when his secret is revealed and the playing field is once again leveled, leaving him once more merely competent. The lesson here is an old one, but one worth the retelling. "Mortal Instruments" is aptly titled.

"Spirited Away" received the Best Animated Feature Award to start off the evening with "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" winning the Best Visual Effects Award and Best Sound Editing Award. "The Two Towers" was also nominated for Best Picture, which went to the musical "Chicago." 23 March 2003 Razzie Awards Presented Science Fiction failed to be shut out in the Razzie Awards which recognize and warn about the worst in film-making. This year's Worst Actor Razzie was presented to Roberto Benigni for his title role in "Pinocchio," with a mention made of Breckin Meyer, the actor who dubbed Benigni's voice for the American release. Hayden Christensen received the Razzie for Worst Supporting Actor for Anakin Skywalker in "Star Wars: Episode II: Attack of the Clones," while George Lucas and Jonathan Hales received the Worst Screenplay Razzie for "Star Wars: Episode II: Yada-Yada-Yoda."
