Description: I need a scrape of every Rotten Tomatoes movie score (several thousand films) for an academic project. The list of films on the Rotten Tomatoes site begins at the following link:

http://www.rottentomatoes.com/features/stats/index.php

Each link on the page leads to a more complete list of links that, in turn, lead to the movie page with the score.

I want an Access database constructed that has two tables. The first worksheet/table contains the following columns:

1) Film ID (completely arbitrary...just assign one. It is for use on the next worksheet)
2) Film title and year combined (as on the web page e.g. "12 Angry Men (1957)"
3) Film title only
4) Film year only
3) Runtime (in number of minutes)
4) Box Office (if $0 leave blank)
5) Synopsis
6) T-Meter critics score (the one that appears initially)
7) Top critics score (comes from clicking "Top critics" tab
7) RT Community score (comes from clicking "RT community" tab)
8) Genre

The second worksheet needs all of the starring/director/screenwriter/producer/composer etc. names. There should only be three fields on this table:

1) Name (one name per row)
2) Role (e.g. starring/director/screenwriter etc.)
3) Film ID that was assigned on the first table

There will be lots of missing values on the first table. Just leave these fields blank.

Hi, Thanks for the opportunity to bid for this project. I have read through the description of the project and I accessed the Rotten Tomatoes web page to see if all the information are available. As you have mentioned, there are missing information, and these are to be kept blank. Yes, I can do this job, and willing to do the job. I do not know how many films are listed in the website, but I shall do all as required by you. I hope to get paid at the rate of $0.25 per film. I intend to do the data entry in Excel, in 2 sheets, but if you wish to have it in Access only, I can do so. I assure you error free data entry of all the information; am willing to provide you the first 100 films details for your review in couple of days from award of the project. Look forward to hear from. I realise that I do not have a reference here as I have not been fortunate to be awarded with a project - I think the project owners prefer only providers with reference, and to have reference one must win a project!! Indeed a vicious circle. I would request you to please consider me and on my side I assure you my best efforts to complete the job to your satisfaction. Thank you for your patience and consideration. Best wishes.
