Original Title:
South Beach
South Beach is set in the midst of an escalating rivalry between the two most powerful record labels in Miami. Long-time leader Donovan Lear Entertainment represents Carmen Suarez, a gorgeous pop star who tops the charts in both English and Spanish. As Carmen prepares to embark on a world tour behind her latest #1 single, her life is complicated when she falls for Michael Bell, the up-and-coming DJ from ADLV Music Group, Donovan Lears hated rival run by his former flame, Antigone de la Vega. Antigone's life is turned upside down when her fiancé, Gus Garcia, the beloved Mayor of Miami Beach, is murdered under mysterious circumstances. Meanwhile, the most dangerous member of Miami's criminal underworld, Isaac Santero, is plotting a bold move that will shake the foundations of South Beach.
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.
