Pinang is a simple barrio girl from the Philippines who dreams of working abroad. Her lovelife has taken a back seat to providing a better life for her family. Meanwhile, thousands of miles away is Phil, a Brazilian playboy living in Singapore, who has broken too many women’s hearts. Phil’s search for his nanny takes him to a fateful trip to the Philippines where he unexpectedly finds true love instead. When Pinang and Phil cross paths, a collision of cultures ensues – different languages, different backgrounds, and different perspectives. One has conservative Filipino values while the other is as liberated as can be. An unlikely friendship blossoms between them and as they start to unpeel each other’s layers, secrets from the past are also revealed. They soon realize that their lives are actually more entwined than they can imagine. In the end, will the language of love speak to their hearts?
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.
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.
