This 90-minute, 28-character, one-man play written and performed by Casey Groves, filmed and edited by William Gil, and directed by George Drance was commissioned by the National Seelos Shrine and the Seelos Center in New Orleans. It tells the story of Blessed Francis Xavier Seelos, a Redemptorist missionary priest who served in the United States during the Civil War era. His powerful intercession for God's healing power helped countless people with terminal illnesses and injuries. He was also an outstanding minister to souls in need of God's tender mercy. There was always a long line to see him for the Sacrament of Penance, and one woman expressed that he could see right into her heart when she went to him for confession.
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.
