Biography from TheMovieDB

Most people are lucky to have one successful career, but that's not the case for actor-turned-rocker-turned-morning show host-turned hockey broadcaster Tara Slone!  Tara first pursued her passion for music professionally by becoming the lead singer of the Juno-nominated rock group Joydrop, and then as a finalist on the hit CBS series Rockstar: INXS. Tara also appeared in dozens of films, television shows, and stage productions early in her entertainment career.  In 2010, Tara became host of Breakfast Television Calgary, where she spent five years. It was there that she was given the opportunity to work in the world of sports, acting as a regular contributor to Sportsnet, Canada's #1 Sports channel, covering the WHL and USports hockey, curling, soccer, and bobsleigh.  For 8 years, Tara co-hosted the groundbreaking NHL broadcast Rogers Hometown Hockey alongside Ron MacLean, where she became the first woman to host a national NHL show. Tara also helmed the weekly Sportsnet series Top of [HER] Game in 2020 and 2021, focusing on stories of empowered women in the world of sports. Tara is also a 2021 Canadian Screen Award nominee for her work on the CityTV music program Budweiser Stage at Home.  Tara Slone uses her extensive experience from theatre, music, and broadcasting to connect to her audiences on multiple levels as a genuine entertainment professional.

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.
