A subversive comedy about three small town actresses taking in a mysterious new roommate from LA. Beth is highly religious and decorates her room with biblical memorabilia. Charlie identifies as a lesbian but struggles to embrace who she is. April is high-spirited and reserves most of her time recording voice-over auditions. Focused on their careers, the roommates never even try getting to know each other. One day, the incredibly eccentric Cat shows up on their doorstep one. While Beth, Charlie, and April are wary of Cat’s cool, calm demeanor, she becomes their fourth roommate. Not long after moving in, Cat is convinced that an evil entity has infiltrated one of the rooms.

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.
