Reza and his family attend the wedding of the brother of the mysterious Manouchehr, who returned to Iran after many years abroad to organize a huge wedding party. The first disappointment of the evening comes when the boys discover the space reserved for the children: an enclosed hall at the end of a garden, far from the food and the fireworks and under the surveillance of a weird grumpy man in a Minion costume. Reza and the rest of the children immediately try to escape the boring facility they were confined to, and when they decide to ruin the party at all costs they discover they are interfering with Manouchehr's plans, which are much bigger and more dangerous than theirs.
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.
