N/A
A cinematic depiction of plasmatic destruction featuring Bruce Irons, Shawn Barron, Gavin Beschen, Tai Vandyke, and Dave Post. This film is 100% hand made from start to finish with a scrumptious soundtrack. It’s is a surreal surf journey through the mind of Bruce Irons while cooking breakfast. A classic piece of art for every surfer to enjoy. World-class surfers take on spots in Hawaii, Tahiti, Indonesia, California, Costa Rica, South Africa, Mexico and Australia in this super-stylized film from Volcom. Mega-surf-stars Bruce Irons, Gavin Beschen, Shawn "Barney" Barron, Kai Garcia, Tai Van Dyke, Kamalei Alexander and Dave Post pump up the action to tunes from Nick Nichol, Adolescents, Jimi Hendrix, Zeke, Ween, Pink Floyd and the Melvins. Extras include the movie Frankenplasm and more.
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.
