BLEONA, the International pop icon, redefines the word “DIVA” in her uncontainable rise to stardom Her powerful vocals, charmingly brash persona and reputation as an electrifying performer, have lifted her to the Top of the Billboard music charts. BLEONA is a multiple award-winning, multi-lingual recording artist. She’s sold more than 5million records, graced over FORTY magazine covers, and performed for millions of fans — all while operating as a completely independent artist. In the past few years alone, Bleona has broken the Top Ten Billboard Dance Club Songs chart with her #1 Hit “I Don’t Need Your Love” and #3 Hit “Take You Over”. The track “Wicked Love,” spotlighted and scored the #12 spot in 2018 as well. BLEONA additionally made her “directorial debut” with two stunning videos, one for her 2018 single “I Don’t Need Your Love” and another for the epic, smoldering, follow-up ballad “Monster”. A beloved luminary, drawing record crowds of up to 70,000 in her native Albania, she continues to perform to consistent sold-out shows. Through it all, Bleona has embraced the thrill of playing by her own rules, while at the same time, respecting her craft, and embracing her ever-growing fan base. BLEONA’s native creative ability has transformed her into a triple-threat phenomenon that has presented no limits to her larger-than-life talents.

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.
