Roman Reigns is the preeminent WWE Superstar of his generation and on his way to becoming one of the greatest champions in the modern era of sports entertainment. Despite his success, Reigns' journey has been filled with adversity around every corner. As a son of a WWE Hall of Famer and a member of the vaunted "Samoan Dynasty," it appeared Joe Anoa'i was destined for the ring. However, his mindset was focused on the football field and a future in the NFL. When a rare form of leukemia put an end to that dream, the WWE beckoned and Joe transformed into Roman Reigns. While the company saw a main event Superstar, fans could never fully support the heroic Roman. Following the guiding words of his older brother, Roman began to embrace his darker side to find otherworldly success as the Tribal Chief of WWE.
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.
