Biography from TheMovieDB

Duncan got into radio after realising that bricklaying wasn't his cup of tea! Over the last 14 years, he has developed an unwavering passion for the media and the people involved.  After a stint doing breakfast radio in Blenheim, Dunc moved to the big smoke to work at The Rock, where he had a number one show with comedic duo Jono and Ben; then a number one show with Thane Kirby. For the last six years, he has been working on The Rock Drive show.  At the start of 2019 Dunc teamed up for some shenanigans with his good friend Jay Reeve, and now they co-host the top-rating afternoon slot.  His love of people and performing has helped him become a polished event MC. He has MC’d a swag corporate gigs including the 2degrees Customer Care Awards; and the Master Builders Auckland Winter Ball and Awards.  He has also hosted high-energy events including Wellington Homegrown, Queenstown Winterfest, V4 & Rotarys Car show, ACC Shiny Side Up Motorcycle Show, Methven & Auckland Big Air, The Beach & Boat Fishing Competition, and also done ground-announcing for The Auckland Blues - and he's always keen for more!  In his spare time, Duncan likes to fuel his obsession with fishing, and when the weather isn’t playing ball, you can find him renovating his home with his wife or restoring his classic car. Duncan is a proud father of three boys – as well as a dribbly British bulldog.

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.
