Boy Called Bremner is a comedy drama set on a notorious Leeds Estate. Home to a dodgy boxing coach, a fake vicar, an Elvis impersonator and a drunken football worshipping father. Bremner and his boxing mates are determined to have fun, cause mischief, make money and resurrect their faltering amateur boxing careers. Desperate to make a better life for his baby daughter, Bremner seeks the approval of others. Unemployment, family problems, drug dealers depression, crime and suicidal urges prove to be bigger opponents than anything faced in a boxing ring. On the edge between life and death Bremner's larger than life character masks these hidden demons. The only antidotes are focus drive dreams and the antics of the crazy residents and friends of his local boxing club. Boy Called Bremner is a gripping story about loyalty, passion, tragedy and comedy all the factors of a down to earth realistic film from the heart of Yorkshire's largest City.

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.
