A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
World-class drummer and producer Tal Bergman has toured and recorded with some of the biggest names in show business, including Billy Idol, Rod Stewart, Chaka Khan, Loreena McKennitt, Simple Minds, LL Cool J, Joe Zawinul, Eric Johnson and Terrence Trent Darby. His musical versatility spans hard rock, funk, R&B and jazz. He was both associate producer and drummer on the platinum and Grammy nominated album “It Had To Be You: The Great American Songbook” by Rod Stewart (7 million album sales worldwide). Bergman is a master drummer; his highly sought-after rhythmic skills have been featured alongside such talents as Herb Alpert, Belinda Carlisle, Peter Cetera, Dave Mason, and MC Solaar. He has also composed the score for several movies, including “The Circle” (2005), “The Untold” (2002), “Dancing at the Blue Iguana” (2000), and “Kill Me Later” (2001).

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.
