Rene is a Mexican TV Show Host, journalist and actor. His show "Es De Noche y ya Llegue;", has been running for over 5 years in Mexican television, and broad-casted all over the world by the popular "El Canal De las Estrellas" Network. As an actor, he's developed mainly in comedy theater. He has a strange way to interact with tabloid media, both as a journalist and as a target for that hell hound press. His radio show, "La Taquilla", a mixture of comedy and journalism, has aired for almost 20 years now over two major radio networks in Mexico. He's expanding his company, Franco Comunicaciones, into a full developed production company for TV, radio, and movies.
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.
