In this campy 90s sci-fi fantasy, a magical weasel crash lands in Queens and befriends a girl who's down on her luck. They must work together to defeat his evil brother to save Queens (and the Earth). After landing in Queens, the Wish Weasel meets a young woman named Tabitha and grants her a wish for a new apartment. The wish is then sensed by the evil Wishomite's wish computer in the dark universe. General Zorgo, leader of the Wishomites, declares that they will travel to Earth and torture everyone with evil wishes and kill the Wish Weasel. Wish Weasel's Space friend, Space Detective, learns of General Zorgo's apocalyptic plan from a boy with a magical book that tells the story of the presently occurring universe. Wish Weasel, Space Detective, and Tabitha need to figure out how to stop General Zorgo from enslaving Earth. General Zorgo travels to Queens and Wish Weasel learns how to use Wish Cards and has a card battle with General Zorgo in Astoria Park.

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.
