Ilya Rusak (born Iliasu Fonge Rusacov) is a Moldovan musician and actor. He was born in Chisinua, Moldova in 1991, and in 1998 he moved to the United States with his mother. At the time, LA Weekly published the article 40 Bucks and a Dream about their case. During his time in Los Angeles, he learned all aspects of street life, including problems with the police. In the music business, he is known professionally as Boulevard or BLVD. During his career, Boulevard managed to record many tracks in the trap genre, as well as star in ST's "Rap'n'Roll" video. He is currently working on a new album "Powder".
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.
