Issam has one dream: to become a pro gamer. When his grades start to fail again, his mother has only one solution: she throws his computer in the trash, and his world collapses. What Issam doesn't know is that at that very moment, the real world is about to collapse as well. Malicious AI has taken over the newly opened arcade and brought the gaming world into the real world. Less than a few hours later, the BIVD (Supernatural Intelligence and Security Service) arrives at his door. Issam, along with the top eight gamers in the world, including his idol, Ripvis, must battle through five real-life game levels to defeat the AI. Will they be able to combine their skills and save the world?

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.
