Run for home base. Cross the city and defeat the enemy. In the future, baseball has become a murderous game in which cyborgs, enhanced for baseball, fight for their lives. Today, in a city abandoned by humans, the game is played on the entire city. He literally defeats the traitors and the players of the opposing team who stand in his way, and then he runs, looking at the corpses of the killed players of the same team beside him. He runs for home base. No matter how many people he kills, no matter who is killed, the cyborg player does not scream, does not shed a tear. No, he may just hide the tears that flow behind his artificial eyelids, the cries that are born in the depths of his artificial throat. In order to fulfill his mission to step on the platform. There is a style that can truly be called "near-future baseball hard-boiled".

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.
