Karim Mahmoud Abdel Aziz (b. 1985)

Alias:
كريم محمود عبدالعزيز

Birthplace:
Cairo, Egypt

Born:
June 15, 1985

Karim Mahmoud Abdel Aziz is a young artist known for his handsome face that looks very similar to his father’s at the beginning of his career. He didn’t know that he would one day be an actor in the world of cinema, despite the fact that his father is one of the most famous actors in the history of Egyptian cinema, Mahmoud Abdelaziz. Karim got his start by way of a video camera - one of his hobbies was to film and make movies with his friends. His talent led him to boldly interrupt his father’s meetings with directors Essam El Shama and Mohamed Abdelaziz to show them what he’d created with his camera. Essam was impressed with his talent, and after a few days, director Mohamed Abdelaziz chose him to act in the film “Shagaret El Ahlam (Tree of Dreams). Karim insisted on starting his career in cinema without assistance from anyone, even his father who objected to his son’s way of doing things. But Karim’s performance in the TV series “Ragil Min Zaman El Alouma” (Man from the Age of Globalization) made Karim’s father acknowledge his son as an actor. Karim participated in a number of films and TV series, including “El Nazzer” (The Observer) in 2000, the series “Mahmoud El Masry” (Mahmoud the Egyptian) in 2004, and “Ahzan Mariam” (Mary’s Sorrows) in 2006.

About the Movie Section

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:

  • I added "runners up" to Top 10 lists, treating them as ties where applicable and numbering them accordingly at the bottom of each list.
  • Regarding those polls wherein "franchise" movies were submitted as one project until BFI's policy changed to regard them separately, I treated them as ties and renumbered the affected lists accordingly (e.g. the Godfather films).

Regarding profile removals and data corrections:

  • If you would like your profile removed from this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's gone from their site, it should soon be gone from this site.
  • If you would like to correct movie data on this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's corrected on their site, it should soon be corrected on this site.
  • For additional corrections and profile removals, please e-mail The Open Movie Database (OMDb).

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.
