When a big mistake leaves an altruistic law-school grad desperate for a job, he must descend, like Dante, into the Inferno: a uniquely unethical firm of divorce lawyers. In this black comedy, the main character's fundamental resolve to do the right thing collides with the tragicomic absurdity of corrupt or incompetent attorneys, damaged, unbalanced clients, and a catastrophically broken family-law system. Pilot Synopsis: Tommy Laudadio, an altruistic law-school grad paying a steep price for a big mistake, is beyond desperate for a job. At an interview with a divorce firm he observes the owner and his henchman bullying and cheating clients; while trying to help the clients Tommy comes face to face with tragicomic absurdity of the entire family-law system. This might be Tommy's last chance to save his future-but it's clear he will have to sacrifice every principle he lives by if he wants to grab it.

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.
