Jim Wood
Jimmie Wood is a musician, singer and actor best known as the front man and harmonica player for his band the Imperial Crowns. Jimmie grew up in Houston, Texas, where he was a teenage sensation. Later, he met a future band member and guitarist J.J. Holiday and left Houston, where they formed "Imperial Crowns" with Michael Barsimanto (drums) and Keith "Foxxe" Karman (bass guitar). Jimmie has recorded with artists from across the musical spectrum, from Bruce Springsteen to Johnny Rotten (with PIL), from Gladys Knight to Megadeth, international superstar Ofra Haza, Etta James, Bruce Hornsby, Cheap Trick and Chuck E. Weiss, among others. He's sung and played harmonica on dozens of movie scores and TV commercials. As an actor, Wood has appeared in the movies "Suckers" and "Girl in 3D" as well as on the television series "Rugrats," "Real Monsters" and "The Wild Thornberrys." He also provided a menacing and howling voice for Bonecrusher in the mega hit Transformers (2007). His songs were included for such movie soundtracks as L.A. Story (1991), The Runner (1999), Freeway 2 (1999) and The Banger Sisters (2002).
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.
