An angry alien from the planet Moosha Maa decides to borrow his neighbors destrukto ray to destroy the planet Earth because the earths radio and TV waves are messing up his intergalactic TV reception.
When big city newspaper reporter Vanessa Trojan goes to a small backwater town, named Anywhere, Washington, to do a feature article on two female Street Racing icons, she doesn't realize that this will be the last article she ever writes. When the icons - the always talkative Jo Leene Dodge and Betty Petty (unable to speak), take Vanessa to a ruckus rockabilly house party, a strange light appears from the sky, and people start to feel sick. The party ends in a vicious brawl between Jo Leene and jealous rival Vikki Lee. The next day Jo Leene is accused of killing Vikki Lee, who has disappeared with only her severed fingers found on the seat of her wrecked car. As more people turn up missing or murdered, Anywhere's only detective, Detective LLoyd, soon realizes that this is not a simple murder case, but something much, much bigger.

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.
