A Mashup comedy thriller using old movies re-edited and re-dubbed by some of the best comedy talent in the UK. The Falcon, an English detective and part-time impressionist, working in Los Angeles, becomes embroiled in an alien plot to destroy the world when his voice is used to redub Barack Obama. With the assistance of Sherlock Holmes and pornstar Barrett Blade, the Falcon sets out to stop Obama making a speech in which, unwittingly, he will insult the major nations of the world and spark a global war. This insane, unique piece of storytelling stars the greatest cast ever assembled in a movie including Cary Grant, Basil Rathbone, Tom Conway, Marilyn Monroe, Steve Reeves, Jack Nicholson, John Wayne and Rosalind Russell.
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.
