The Rock Falling Village-where a God attracts comets is worshipped and virgin men are sacrificed! A unique fantasy comedy that realizes an out-of-world concept with original images and no CG. A long time ago, a renowned rainmaker was murdered on a hill in remote Ango Village. After the incident, it rained for 100 days and washed everything in the village away. Villagers built a roadside shrine dedicated to the dead rainmaker in hopes of calming his wrath. The rains miraculously stop, but, rocks fall from the sky every time it rains. One day, statue from the shrine is mysteriously stolen, and rocks are falling even thought it's not Raining. A few days later, they discover that gigantic meteor is approaching which destroy the entire village.
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.
