The Samuel's family has been fractured for a decade, each member drifting through life with unresolved tensions and unspoken grievances. The once-close-knit family now struggles with their struggles: father Nolan, burdened by regret; Bernice and Mildred, grappling with loneliness; daughter Amaya, trying to forge her own identity; and son Justice, battling his past mistakes, while Andres keeps a secret that shakes the family. When Bernice, Nolan, and Mildred announce a surprising decision that will impact their futures, they call for a family reunion. Despite their lingering resentments, the siblings reluctantly agree to come home. The atmosphere is thick with unresolved emotions as they gather at their childhood home. Throughout a weekend filled with heartfelt conversations, laughter, and confrontation, the family navigates their past traumas and hidden wounds.
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.
