Growing up, Lolong developed an affinity with animals, thanks to his parents, Gloria and Raul. They introduced him to a gigantic crocodile named Dakila, who eventually became his friend. Unfortunately, the town’s mayor made it his crusade to kill all crocodiles in their town. Lolong’s parents were murdered when they attempted to save Dakila from the mayor’s orders. After his parent’s murders, Lolong is raised by loving foster parents. He keeps his friendship with Dakila secret and longs to avenge his parent’s deaths. In the meantime, Lolong notices peculiar changes happening to himself. He notices that when he gets hurt, his wounds can heal instantly. He discovers that Karina, the town’s seamstress, possesses the same ability. Karina then tells Lolong that he was a member of a tribe that possessed the power to regenerate, just like crocodiles do. With the help of Dakila, Lolong battles an evil system in order to bring justice and peace to himself and to the townspeople.
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.
