A brother and sister lead different lives. Their varying attitudes and life choices confuse and separate the both of them. The brother, Chris, is quite cheeky and pessimistic, experiencing a disdain for the city in which he grew up poor in and for his dead-end job as a bike messenger. The sister, Laura, is a gentle young woman striving towards an art degree at a posh university in Edinburgh. We follow Chris on his morning deliveries until one door, instead of the usual, slams in his face. It Is revealed that the woman behind the slam was his sister, Laura. Chris barges in and eventually follows Laura to Calton Hill to tell her that, despite her expectations, he will not be coming to her degree show. Realizing how upset his younger sister is, Chris decides that instead of disrupting things further, he will encourage his sister's dreams, even if he doesn't completely understand them.
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.
