Recently divorced workaholic Billy Turner is persuaded to fly across the country to celebrate Christmas with his children, James and Haley, his ex-wife, Alicia…and her new fiancé, Chris. Billy’s longtime friends, Larry and Cynthia, try to talk him off a ledge in his dread of this years’ holiday. And in a feat to drink away his sorrows, he literally stumbles upon high powered lawyer, Harmony Davis. Though brief, their first encounter over chicken wings and a series of jokes turns to an unlikely romance that leads Billy to invite her to Christmas dinner. James, Haley and friends travel from separate coasts, dealing with delays, cancellations and daddy issues as their parents navigate their own past and pettiness.
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.
