Wimbledon 2014 is the definitive account of the 128th Championships. Coming into the tournament, the top four seeds in the Gentlemen's Singles were Serbia's Novak Djokovic, Spain's Rafael Nadal, fresh from winning a ninth French Open title, the defending champion Andy Murray and seven-time Wimbledon champion Roger Federer. In the Ladies Singles, world No.1 Serena Williams was the undisputed favourite, but world No.2 Li Na and French Open champion Maria Sharapova could not be counted out. For the third year running, however, Nadal's campaign was ended in a shock upset at the hands of teenage wildcard Nick Kyrgios.
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.
