Biography from TheMovieDB

Larry Blake is a supervising sound editor/re-recording mixer of feature films. He has mixed over 65 features since 1989, and was also the supervising sound editor on 50 of them. Included in this number are 29 features and three television seasons with Steven Soderbergh, plus multiple films from Victor Nunez, David Gordon Green, and the Duplass Brothers. In addition, he has mixed 15 feature-length documentaries. In 2013 won both Emmy and Cinema Audio Society awards for Best Sound for a Miniseries or a Movie for his work on Behind the Candelabra. In 2002 he won a Golden Satellite Award for Solaris. He has written extensively on film sound, beginning in 1981 for Recording Engineer/Producer and then in Mix; these writings total over 110 columns and 35 feature articles. He soon will be publishing separate anthologies of the columns and features, in addition to the autobiography of film sound great Murray Spivack. First up is a book he’s writing on the digital archiving of motion pictures, Solving the Digital Dilemma. Following from his work as a writer, he has curated many seminars on film sound for the Director’s Guild of America, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, SMPTE, and the Audio Engineering Society. He has been a guest speaker at the Camerimage Film Festival, USC, UCLA, and the Savannah College of Art and Design, among many others. From 2000-2016 he owned Swelltone Labs, a post-production sound facility in New Orleans, where he lives.

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.
