In a wacky world of deceit and greed... where's the music?

Searching for the lost music tapes of a long dead rock star, a buttoned up junior attorney seeks the assistance of his wacky, aging entourage to unravel a rock and roll mystery.

Buttoned up junior attorney Sydney Babcock is right on track with her perfectly ordered life. She's got the perfect job at the perfect company, and she's about to marry the perfect guy. When a last minute assignment tears her away from her Midwestern bridal shower, she heads to exotic, chaotic Los Angeles where she runs smack into a wacky bunch of mismatched characters who comprise the remaining "entourage" of a long dead rock star named Eli Trainor. She must seek their help to locate and bring back her company's recently acquired assets; the master tapes of Eli Trainor's eagerly anticipated, never released second album. There's just one problem. Supposedly, the "only" masters went down with Eli in a tragic plane crash some thirty years ago. The scent of money is in the air and it's game on for Sydney as she tries to navigate through completely unfamiliar territory full of ulterior motives, silly old vendettas and good old fashioned greed. The only question is, are the locals truly trying to help Sydney find the lost masters or will Eli Trainor and "the music that might have been" always remain an almost perfect rock and roll mystery?

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.
