Berto (24, m), inherited the task of being the caretaker of a property from his father who also inherited it from his own father. This is the only job that he knows to do. The land, seems forgotten by its owners, but Berto remains dedicated to his task. He lives and breathes the land not wanting anything else. One day, Berto’s neighbors tells him of a myth that soldiers from the second world war left buried treasure in the land. They tell him that the land is haunted. Then a mysterious old and blind woman warns him of impending danger. Still, Berto remains a skeptic to ghost stories. He goes on his usual daily chores making sure that the land is kept safe from trespassers and treasure hunters. Suddenly, Berto feels that he is not alone. He follows the voices that he hears and the shadows that he thinks he sees only to discover that there is more to old wives’ tales than meets the eye.
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.
