As if starting Junior year wasn’t hard enough, try doing it at a new school without any friends. For 16 year old Sophie fitting in proves to be challenging. Things get off to an embarrassing start when mom goes full Karen mode on the school secretary. Being partnered with a pair of sexist guys in marketing class doesn’t make things easier for her - neither does learning about women’s rights when she can’t tell the gender of her study partner. A newfound crush convinces her to join his club - but is he too good to be true? From the trendy divas in her biology class to making friends with the friendliest Taylor Swift fan at school, authenticity proves hard to find. But with all the pressure to fit in, finding the courage to stand out becomes the biggest challenge of all.

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.
