Eric Holmberg is the founder and director of Reel to Real Ministries, Inc. and The Apologetics Group. As an ordained minister, author, speaker and video documentarian, his creative use of multi-media and a vibrant Christian worldview in analyzing some of the key issues of our time has brought him before audiences in homes, churches, schools, college campuses, conferences and on television and radio around the world. Among the shows Eric or his works have appeared on are: The 700 Club, 48 Hours Investigates, John Ankerberg, Beverly LaHaye Live, Point of View, Wake Up America, Mother Angelica Live, Truths That Transform, Heart to Heart, Talk Back, Praise the Lord!, Action 60’s, 100 Huntley Street, The Christian Channel in Europe, Focus on the Family Magazine, Time Magazine, the American Family Association’s Journal, the Family Research Association’s Citizen, the Christian Film and Television Commission’s Movie Guide, and the New American. In 2005 he also became a guest lecturer with the Worldview Weekend organization. Along with speaking and ministering live, Eric has written and produced over thirty videos and live multi-media seminars on issues ranging from revival to rap music; science to sex. Hundreds of thousands of these award-winning videos have been distributed worldwide, reaching and helping to transform the lives of millions. As an experienced writer and expert on cultural apologetics, Eric has also consulted on a number of book projects, providing a keen eye and ear both stylistically as well as in laying “the axe to the root” concerning many of the most critical issues of our day. Eric has five adult children and five grandchildren and counting. He and his wife, Cindy, presently live in Cleveland, Ohio.

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.
