Overview from Open Movies

This story is about two teenage girls with totally different backgrounds. One girl, Jodie Brown was born with a physical disability. She and her mother live on a run down old farm. With the recent passing of her dad, Jodie's mother Sandy, works two jobs to make ends meet. Jodie's dream is to own and ride a horse and even eventually compete in a horse show. However, physical and financial problems make this quite impossible. Being bullied and made fun of is an every day part of her life. The other girl, Bridgett Van Heusen, lives a complete opposite life. She lives on a beautiful farm and has her own horse. She is very spoiled, wanting for nothing. Her dad is on the road most of the time earning money for their lavish lifestyle. Her mom's life consists of going from committee meeting to committee meeting. Both parents are involved in everything but their daughter's life. Bridgett has her own horse trainer and caretaker. She competes in district and national horse shows with much success. She does not appreciate what she has and is mean and belittling to all. These two girls path's cross and the story follows the success of one and the failure of the other. It has many emotional turns and twists. The story also has life lessons. It is a family story which will touch all ages.

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.
