On my website I publish movie reviews I write. I started writing these on the Macintosh User Group bulletin board in the 1990’s and eventually started saving them, and then eventually published them to my website. While I had written reviews earlier than 1998, I only saved what I wrote from 1998 onward, so my website<\/a> only goes back to that year. Because I write reviews whenever I watch a movie (not just new releases, but older movies too), I often will go ahead and write a review for pre-1998 movies as well, with no way of publishing them, but keeping them in my Access database where all of the reviews live. When I joined the Disney Movie Club<\/a>, I wrote reviews of a lot of the older Disney animated features that I was buying, but my list of rankings<\/a> couldn’t link to those reviews since they were not on the web.
\n<\/p>\n

The website breaks down the list of movies by year<\/a>, including a ranking of all the movies that came out in a year using a ranking number that I put in the database so that ties are broken among all the B+ ratings I give. Also, I add a very short review that is incorporated into Top 10 lists for each year<\/a> and a year in review page<\/a> that the database creates for each year. I didn’t want to try to build that in to my reviews of older movies, so I decided to put all of the older movies on a separate “vault” page. I didn’t even know how many older reviews I had.<\/p>\n

So today on a gorgeous sunny cool spring day, I decided to add the new function by copying the code that generates web pages of the “archive by year” page and all of the individual reviews to make a vault. There are 37 reviews on the vault page<\/a>, most written in the last year, but some of them really go way back (I don’t even remember going to see Miracle on 34th Street<\/em> at The Fox).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
