When the ugliness of life becomes unbearable, only beauty in death can set you free. This "linguistic thriller" force-feeds the viewer a non-verbal banquet they won't soon forget, giving new meaning to "reading between the lines". Naomi is a woman with a calling. A calling to deliver divine vengeance. Disgusted by the irreparable hideousness of the people that surround her, she sets out on a mission to correct it in the only way she knows how, even if it costs her her soul. But maybe beauty ain't worth all that.
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.
