This is a DVD which was handed to a relative of mine while on a night out in Newcastle because nobody was willing to pay the price printed on the cover (possibly because mastering a DVD to these people was dropping an MPG file into the root directory). It's hard to describe this film, but I'll try. Word Sword is a film created by a group of religious people of multiple faiths as a hard hitting expose of modern culture, primarily critical of drugs, but also of petty theft and assault. The problem with this serious attempt is that they don't really understand anything about the world. It's hard to tell if they're serious since the acting and production are literally all over the place.
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.
