A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Corey Landis has had an extensive range of careers in acting, writing and music. Landis studied theatre at Ohio University where he was also a member of the sketch comedy troupe The Comedy Sloth. On screen, he may be recognized for his early work on That '70s Show (1998) playing the younger version of Kurtwood Smith's character 'Red Forman'. Other screen credits include the Sci-Fi film Chrysalis (2008) and the family film Lost in the Woods (2009) where he co-starred with 'Michael Madsen'. Landis made noticeable appearances in several uniquely-different Sci-Fi creature/horror films starting with Jim Wynorski's Dinocroc vs. Supergator (2010), starring the late David Carradine, Camel Spiders (2011), Dracula: Reborn (2012) and Sharkansas Women's Prison Massacre (2015). He has appeared in several pilots including "Paulie" with Paul Sorvino and Janeane Garofalo. He's been in many short films including the award-winning The Man from Mars (2016), and has appeared in over 150 commercials, frequently as the spokesman--most notably Overstock, Bridgestone, 5 Hour Energy, Taco John's, and Papa Murphy's Pizza. He co-directed the feature documentary "Toy Masters" about the creation of the He-Man toy line. Landis is a piano player and singer-songwriter and has released five albums of original material, the most recent of which ("Corey Landis & The Attacks") was produced by Beatles engineer and legendary Grammy Award winner Geoff Emerick. He also composed the songs for the the award-winning jazz musical short Funky Butt (2018).

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.
