On the night of a once in a millennia event, the convergence of a planetary alignment and a lunar eclipse, 6 friends gather together to have a viewing party to celebrate. As the eclipse nears its peak, the group prepares to head to the roof only to be stopped in their tracks when they all receive an emergency alert telling them not to look at the moon. A glance out the window at the streets below sees everyone outside all staring straight up, seemingly transfixed. As the night continues, the friends' minds and bodies are tattered and beaten by a powerful, enigmatic force. As they scramble to figure out what is happening they begin to come face to face with the realization that they only know one thing for sure, don't look at the moon.
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.
