Four ladies from very different backgrounds end up living together in Brooklyn, New York. Though their new apartment and improved living conditions represent a new start, old habits die hard. Many of the issues from their past lives seep into their new life like a virus therefore causing drama and misunderstanding. For the most part, the ladies try to be friends but culture conflicts and indifference won't let them. They become vindictive and spiteful, sleeping with and manipulating each other's boyfriends for their personal gains. Things take a drastic turn when all four roommates discover that they are all pregnant, for each other's boyfriend. Now, it is up to the boyfriends to choose themselves or fatherhood.

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.
