Set in a bright, catalog-perfect world, "Small Little Thing" follows one trying day in the life of unassuming and meticulous homemaker Jenny, whose life is about to be turned upside-down with the discovery of several small clues which seem to indicate that her husband James is having an affair. Consulting with her drama-obsessed best friend Mary, who insists on relating the suspicious evidence with the overblown plot of her favorite soap opera, does nothing to quell Jenny's growing doubts about her husband. Not one to let her imagination get the better of her, Jenny remains reasonably skeptical. This skepticism soon fades as she finds further clues that Mary might just be right. It is the first in a chain of events that chronicle Jenny's growing paranoia, culminating in a startling revelation that Jenny's little world is far from perfect... in even more ways than it might seem.
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.
