When King's X released their landmark sophomore album, "Gretchen Goes to Nebraska" in the summer of 1989, they were poised to conquer the world. It was universally hailed as an instant classic among fans, peers, and critics alike. The album was perched high atop reader and critic polls as one of the most significant albums of the year in the U.K., Germany, and the Netherlands, the region that also voted "Gretchen" as one of the best albums of the entire decade. Additionally, the album placed on America's "Billboard" charts. "Gretchen Goes to London" documents the historic show at the famed Astoria Theatre in 1990. With never-before-seen footage, "Live at the Astoria" presents King's X at the top of their game, exuding an energy that surpasses the studio recordings.

Although TheMovieDB might provide a key to a YouTube video, there is no guarantee that the video might be present at YouTube.
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.
