X-treme Weekend is a dark comedy about lies, treachery and justifiable homicide...you know, friendship. Alan, a successful banker and Gordon, a bitter cop, take their friend Danny on his virgin camping trip. It doesn't take long for everyone to realize that the last place Danny belongs is on a rugged mountain trail. Danny has a problem and it soon becomes everybody's problem. Danny is annoying. A compulsive pain in the ass. Even his cell phone seems to have been designed to bother people - and it never stops ringing. It's not long before fantasy becomes reality as dreams of killing Danny fill more time than mountain climbing. Twists abound as this weekend in the woods turns into a virtual bloodbath because sometimes a friend isn't a terrible thing to waste.

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.
