Meek and mild-mannered gas station attendant Saadon (Que Haidar) has never fallen in love. The one time he falls for Mala (Nabila Huda), she conspires with Budi (Remy Ishak) to make off with his savings. When Saadon finds himself beaten up by Budi in a back alley, he chances upon a magic teapot that is inhabited by a genie, Pari Pari (Liyana Jasmay). Love is possible. However, the genie's father, Para Para (Harun Salim Bachik) is tracking her. Hoping to find romance, the genie refuses to return to her realm and is ready to accept the genie's curse of eternal oblivion should she fail in love once more.

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.
