In this dark romantic comedy directed by James Sharpe, "Temporary Spirits" follows the story of two very different brothers, John and James, who share the same house but can barely tolerate each other. Living like ships passing in the late afternoon, their mundane and strained relationship takes an unexpected turn when an other-worldly adventure begins. Every night, they find themselves in a shared dream, a spiritual realm where they meet two mysterious girls who claim to be dead. Initially dismissing these encounters as mere dreams, the brothers slowly piece together the reality of their "Temporary Spirits" status. As their bond strengthens in the dream world, they begin to communicate more in the waking world, discovering a newfound brotherly connection.

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.
