The central character of the romantic comedy Casting for Love is the unsuccessful actress Stela Nebeská, who, as her forties approach, finds out that she will probably not make any big breakthrough. She loses her theater contract, where she played only insignificant roles anyway. After a career failure, a personal failure follows - her husband starts to cheat on her and he doesn't even try to hide it. But Stela doesn't intend to accept the defeat from life and will definitely not give up without a fight. She swears that she will find someone at any cost, before whom her husband turns pale with envy. So she launches a grand audition for new love. She starts to get acquainted, but each meeting is an eccentric or useless suitor, and every date ends in fiasco. Will Stela finally find the right one? Or have all good men been extinct?
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.
