In order to escape from her ex-husband, A-Long, Lili moves to an old apartment by the sea and discovers a living sofa there. After fixing the sofa's broken limbs, the sofa becomes affectionate with Lili like a dog. A-Long finds Lili's apartment and demands money from her. When the two of them argue, the sofa suddenly swallows A-Long whole, leaving no trace behind. The sofa has consumed Lili's fear, allowing her to sleep peacefully at night. However, when her child comes to visit her, the sofa becomes a new source of fear for her, as she is afraid that her child will also be swallowed. Lili decides to take the sofa to the beach and burn it at night.

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.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
