Biography from TheMovieDB

Michael A. Levine is a Governor of the Television Academy (Emmys) Music peer group. He has eight ASCAP awards for his work on the Jerry Bruckheimer/CBS dramas 'Cold Case' and 'Close to Home'.  Levin scored the 'Lego DC Supergirls' film, 'Brain Drain', the not-yet-released George Lucas-produced Star Wars Detours animated Star Wars parody, and the award-winning documentary, 'Landfill Harmonic', for which he wrote its Oscar-shortlisted song, 'Cateura - Vamos a Soñar'. His theme song (Go Tell Aunt Rhody/Everybody’s Dead) for Resident Evil VII Biohazard VR - the first VR game in the RE series – has become a viral hit as was Lorde's version of Everybody Wants to Rule the World which he produced along with chart-topping records for Nat and Alex Wolff.  Michael also composed the theme for 'Scrat', the sabertooth squirrel featured in the 'Ice Age' shorts. He provided additional music and violin on a number of Hans Zimmer scores, including 'Dunkirk', 'The Simpsons Movie', 'Batman: The Dark Knight', 'Megamind', and 'Rango'. Michael's choir arrangement of 'Spider Pig' was conducted by Hans at the Hollywood Bowl in 2015.  Levine’s concert music includes Anthem, performed by piano virtuoso Lang Lang in 2014 in Beijing. An upcoming album features duets with percussionist great Evelyn Glennie on mallets and Michael on electric violin. March 2018, he just finished recording his song 'Running' with legendary vocalist Roberta Flack for the feature film '3100'.

About the Movie Section

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:

  • I added "runners up" to Top 10 lists, treating them as ties where applicable and numbering them accordingly at the bottom of each list.
  • Regarding those polls wherein "franchise" movies were submitted as one project until BFI's policy changed to regard them separately, I treated them as ties and renumbered the affected lists accordingly (e.g. the Godfather films).

Regarding profile removals and data corrections:

  • If you would like your profile removed from this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's gone from their site, it should soon be gone from this site.
  • If you would like to correct movie data on this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's corrected on their site, it should soon be corrected on this site.
  • For additional corrections and profile removals, please e-mail The Open Movie Database (OMDb).

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.
