PSMS Portnoy, Sheehan, MacAlpine & Sherinian: InstruMENTAL Inspirations
Ratings / Certifications:
N/A
This DVD features up-close-and-personal views of four of the finest musicians of the modern age. The InstruMENTAL Inspirations DVD features four virtuoso musicians play and discuss their influences and their past. Mike Portnoy. Billy Sheehan. Tony Macalpine. Derek Sherinian. If you are a musician, you should certainly know these four outstanding artists. I would venture that every drummer in the world knows the work of Mike Portnoy. The play on words "instruMENTAL inspirations" tells the story. Whether you are a musician or not you will be entertained and inspired as you listen to their performances and hear their stories
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
