A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).

Ruwaida Shaheen, born in Jordan, holds Iraqi citizenship. She graduated with Bachelor of Media degree. Although she worked as a TV presenter, it wasn't her call of the wild. She starred in a little known TV series back in 2011, but her breakout performance in the Iraqi Ramadan TV series "Khan Al Thahab" put Shaheen on the map. Produced by MBC Iraq, the series aired in both 2023 and 2024, where Shaheen assumes the character of a woman in love struggling to make ends meet and dealing with the daily grind of interpersonal conflicts. Talented and dedicated, Shaheen has only made her first steps as a promising actress in the realm of Arab television.
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.
