Ross has also written, starred, and produced in five films, 7-10 Split, Screwball: The Ted Whitfield Story, Darnell Dawkins Mouth Guitar Legend, Poolboy: Drowning Out The Fury, and FDR: American Badass!, as well a pilot for MTV in 2007 entitled The Barnes Brothers which did not get picked up at upfronts. He was recently nominated for an MTV Movie Award for Best Spoof in 2008. Ross was a member of Kappa Sigma fraternity at Ohio State University in the late 1990s. He got his start in stand-up comedy by using a fake ID in Atlanta, Georgia when he was 16 years old.  Ross can be seen as the fast talking hollywood music producer "Joey Zane" in the movie Garden Party opening July 11, 2008 in Los Angeles, New York, Portland, and Seattle. See the Garden Party website for more details.  Patterson just finished filming Darnell Dawkins: Mouth Guitar Legend in January 2010. Film is based on the popular YouTube short film of the same name that has garnered over 800,000 views. He wrote, starred, and produced this film as well.  He is currently filming the action-comedy "Poolboy: Drowning Out The Fury" starring opposite Danny Trejo, Jason Mewes, and Kevin Sorbo. "It's an unearthed lost movie from 1990 that the studio deemed too terrible to release, a Vietnam Veteran Sal Bando(Sorbo), tortured by his past as a Poolboy returns home to Van Nuys, California, and a country he doesn't recognize, in which it seems only Mexicans run pool-cleaning companies. Bando sets off on a brutal mission to reclaim his "rightful" vocation and enact revenge on the man(Trejo) who killed his wife and son."(according to IMDB)  Screwball: The Ted Whitfield Story is due out October 1st through Warner Brothers.  According to Production Weekly, Patterson is filming another film he wrote and is producing called "FDR: American Badass!" and is playing a role opposite Barry Bostwick(FDR) and Bruce McGill. Production started December 6, 2010 in Los Angeles and supposedly features the 32nd President of the United States riding a "wheelchair of death" to stop the world from werewolves who carry the polio virus, including werewolf versions of Hitler, Mussolini, and Emperor Hirohito.  Description above from the Wikipedia article Becky Ross Patterson, licensed under CC-BY-SA, full list of contributors on Wikipedia.​

The Search Form


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.
