A comedy of love and misunderstandings, in the tradition of Mexican Telenovela's. Featuring Mexico's brightest soap-stars and beauty queens. Mario and Roberto are best friends. Mario has financial problems and seeks to marry a wealthy lady to solve his problems, while Roberto is in search of true love. Teresa, Irma and Alicia are beautiful ladies, each with their own agenda. Mario thinks Teresa is rich, and she plays along to fool him, while Alicia is in love with a gay guy and can't seem to straighten him out. The story unfolds one weekend through parties and revelations that leave no one untouched and everyone unsatisfied.
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.
