Inspired by Charlotte Cranston's short story of the same name, "Apocalypse Book Club" is a raw yet lighthearted romantic comedy that follows the unlikely friendship between Raymond, an unemployed accountant, and Evelyn, a socialite recovering from a broken leg. Each week they meet at a diner to discuss, among other things, their predictions for how the world might end. This time, though, as the conversation unfolds, they must bear their souls and face each other's most difficult truths. The film explores the humour and depth of human connection in the face of life's uncertainty.
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.
