Mallory, a sharp and ambitious New York reporter assigned to write a story on the Best Small Town in America, was sent to Meramec, Alabama. Mallory is staying at Little Birdie B&B, run by Robin, a much-loved, long-term resident of Meramec, and her charming son Wren, a former Marine who is partial to his small-town home but finds Mallory’s big-city confidence alluring. Beneath her driven exterior, Mallory’s warm side is revealed as she bonds with the community of Meramec, especially Wren. Zeke, Mallory’s best friend and Hollywood heartthrob, is impulsive, fun, and the life of the party, balancing his stardom with a down-to-earth loyalty to Mallory that challenges her to rethink what she really wants.
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.
