Documentary about the trajectory of the Brazilian rock band Cachorro Grande, created in Porto Alegre, State of Rio Grande do Sul, in 1999 and imploded in São Paulo, the exact year they would have celebrated their 20th anniversary. As is the script of every self-respecting rock band, Cachorro Grande lived and survived amid contrasts and extremes. From being the greatest promise of Brazilian rock’n roll at the beginning of this century, opening shows for the Rolling Stones in Brazil, to going through open fights that shaped the band’s style and created fissures, culminating in the threat of its disbandment.

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.
