This sports comedy film takes place in Bolanesia, a fictional country. The story is about two soccer teams who always compete fiercely.

Jakarta 1 November, 2007. The Ball is Round is a soccer comedy for all ages that is set in BOLANESIA, a fictional land with events loosely based on the corrupt Indonesian league. The story tells the tale of two rivaling soccer teams. The expensively assembled BLACK BRIGADES, owned by Dam As "Abramovich" Lubis, a candidate in the coming governor election, and SAVAGE SHEEP FC, a privately owned club that relies on youth development. When the owner of the SAVAGE SHEEP FC died from a mid-game heart attack, the government sees it as the perfect opportunity to acquire Savage Sheep FC, allowing for a larger fan base and supporters for Dam As' political campaign. However, the attempted merger is thwarted when the estranged daughter of the Savage Sheep FC owner, decides to take over the team and continue her father's legacy. But being a female leader in a male dominant sport, especially in a patriarchal society like BOLANESIA was never going to be easy, the fans are against her, the media are against her, and even her coaches and playing staff are against her. The BALL IS ROUND tells the story of how she finds triumph in one of the funniest and unlikely football underdog story, filled with hilarious and exciting soccer sequence.

About the Movie Section

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:

  • I added "runners up" to Top 10 lists, treating them as ties where applicable and numbering them accordingly at the bottom of each list.
  • Regarding those polls wherein "franchise" movies were submitted as one project until BFI's policy changed to regard them separately, I treated them as ties and renumbered the affected lists accordingly (e.g. the Godfather films).

Regarding profile removals and data corrections:

  • If you would like your profile removed from this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's gone from their site, it should soon be gone from this site.
  • If you would like to correct movie data on this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's corrected on their site, it should soon be corrected on this site.
  • For additional corrections and profile removals, please e-mail The Open Movie Database (OMDb).

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.
