Romans Road is a zany heartfelt comedy about five women living on a secluded military base. Together they learn to enjoy the journey and seize each day. There goes the neighborhood!
The story revolves around newlywed Michelle a French farm girl looking for love and acceptance in her new life as a US military wife. She encounters Gabby, the busybody neighbor that intrudes in everyone's life while thumping her Bible. Hanalei, the beautiful Chaplain's wife suffers from a lack of attention and bulimia. Bea is a hipster grandmother watching her daughter dawn's two children while she is deployed overseas. Ex-stripper Lucy, the next-door home schooling mother of five, has the love and patience of Mother Teresa. All the women reside on Romans Road, a base housing street bustling with activity. Each woman of destiny must wrestle with a haunting past and dark secret that has crippled their life journey. The skeletons come out and the masks fall off as they struggle to embrace their heart's desire. Filled with humor and heartbreak, Romans Road will make you laugh and cry as the realities of their stories unfold. Together they resolve to enjoy life, no matter what, embracing the good, the bad and the ugly...come what may.

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.
