Born in Rochester, New York, Michael Saquella -Paloma has been entertaining for over 37 years. Aside for his versatile acting, he has been influential in all aspects of the entertainment industry ranging from film, live entertainment, network and cable television, live stage productions and commercials. These experiences have placed in him a unique position of being able to work as an actor, singer, producer, and even a live entertainer, which can been seen in his road tour for his recently released album entitled Michael Paloma and His New York Blues. His famous quote "The smell of the grease paint and the roar of the crowd - Nothing else in life even comes close!" sums up Michael Paloma's aspiration to entertain the world, and there is no sign of him slowing down.Michael is currently starring in a film / series entitled El Coyote. Michael Directed, wrote and starred in the horror film Blue Lake Massacre and his leading role in Forget About It with Burt Reynolds and Raquel Welch did not yield any vacation time for Paloma, directly following he started recording Michael Paloma and His New York Blues, including two music videos produced by Richard Grieco, and his very own live concerts. Under the spot light, Paloma puts on a spectacular show inspired by his stage credits which start with stand up comedy for opening acts such as The Beach Boys, Charo, Tony Bennett and Raquel Welch to impersonating John Belushi in a Blues Brothers act for Legends In Concert and Legendary Superstars that has performed all over the world for over twenty years. With the releases of titles such as Used Cars, O'Hara's Wife, and Assassin to more recent films such as Lady Blues, News Traveler, and Desert Rose, Paloma has once again shown that he is a creative entertainer.

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.
