Biography from TheMovieDB

After graduating from high school, Steve De Roover proved himself as a film critic for two of the most attended film-related websites in Belgium. After a while he did freelance work for several national and international websites, as well as written publications, including the popular "Legends of Asia" column, the official Friday the 13th films website, Badchix, Moviepulp, the Advalvas web magazine, Publicity magazine and many more. After a couple of small appearances in TV shows and movies, Steve got a taste of working behind the scenes on various movies and television productions. In 2013 he finished his short film "Un Homme Bien" - based on the book by Belgian author Vanessa Morgan (The Strangers Outside, Drowned Sorrow). The vampire short premiered at the Brussels International Fantastic Film Festival in 2013. The following international festival success of "Un Homme Bien" led in 2014 to the short thriller "Bleu", which Steve De Roover co-produced alongside director Kevin Hoed. In 2015 the two production partners formed 'Skladanowsky', a edgy independent production company that specializes in short films (like the multi award-winning gay drama "Skai Blue" by Guido Verelst, and Jasper Vrancken's darkly ambitious "Muil"), music videos, company films, commercials, and documentaries, like the award-winning "Forgotten Scares: An In-depth Look at Flemish Horror Cinema".

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.
