Following the lives of three women as a celestial body passes by Earth. The first is Jessica, a recent college graduate trying to become an actress. Her father feels that pursuing acting in the Midwest is not worth it and she should do something else. She persists and finds a play to act in, produced by a bumbling director. She desperately tries to find opportunities but is repeatedly disappointed. The second woman is Kathy, a middle-aged single mother trying to raise her young son. She works as a bartender but looks for a second job in order to pay for rent and sustain a living. She ultimately gets a position at a local theatre. The third woman is Eleanor, a retired senior who is mourning the loss of her husband and lamenting the fact that her daughters don't seem to care about her anymore.

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.
