Tragedies in Ukraine and Gaza, the Trump shock, the omnipotence of Tech... In 2025, the world has entered a new era. With Trump, Putin, Xi Jinping, Netanyahu or Bukele, it's the advent of strongmen in power. Heads of state turned predators, in an era marked by the end of historic alliances and the revenge of empires. Faced with the return of authoritarianism, international institutions and Europe are more fragile than ever, and the model of Western democracy is being called into question. At a time when events are unfolding at breakneck speed, Martin Weill and his teams pause to help us understand the future that is taking shape before our very eyes.
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.
