The story of friendship between a police operative Lesha and the ghost of the legendary swindler Pashka Veter. Lyosha is a young police operative who has been receiving small assignments from colleagues for the entire six months of his service – to catch a fly, heat a kettle, and copy the criminal code. Like all young professionals, Lyosha longs for serious work – and having convinced his boss that he is quite ready, he gets his first case. He will have to reveal the secret of the death of a young man, in whom Lyosha recognizes Pashka Veter, the legendary swindler who once "threw" Alexei for a million rubles. That same evening, Lyosha sees the ghost of Pashka: he does not care at all about his death - after all, he has already seen the Garden of Eden filled with three hundred virgins with one eye
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.
