A young woman's sexual identity is thrown into chaos in first-time director Shari L. Carpenter's 2002 film Kali's Vibe. Social worker Kali seemingly has her life under control, until she learns of her girlfriend Crystal's infidelity. After much ruminating and advice-getting from her godmother, Myrna, and co-worker Yvette, fate steps in by bringing the very charming but monumentally unskilled new office temp Ezra Reese into the picture. At first, Kali takes little notice of Reese, but Reese immediately falls Kali, even after learning of Kali's sexual orientation. As the two get to know one another, a friendship blossoms that takes an unexpected turn into physical attraction after a particularly weak moment on Kali's part. Now utterly confused about who she is, Kali must make some hard decisions regarding love, identity, and trust.
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.
