The owner of a booming rental car business scrambles to replace the $10,000 left in the trunk of one of his cars in this comedy starring Frank White and Shawn Harris. If you've got some cash and you need a car, D-Stacks (White) can hook you up with one of the hottest rides around. His crew may be a little crazy, but they won't be happy until the customer leaves satisfied. Their latest customer is Boogie White, a local hot-shot who just mistakenly left $10,000 in the trunk of his rented car. When the money goes missing, it falls on D-Stacks to make sure it's replaced. Now, if D-Stacks can just convince one of his talented employees to turn out a hit single and stage a local show, maybe they can raise enough money to pay Boogie back. But they've only got 72 hours to make it happen, and should they fail D-Stacks stands to lose more than just his reputation as a reliable businessman. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
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.
