Saturday 3rd November 2007, the Millennium Stadium, Cardiff - There can be no doubt now Calzaghe is King! In front of 50,000 adoring fans, Joe Calzaghe delivered a Millennium Stadium master-class - a furious, fabulous performance of pace, power and electric intensity to unify the World super middleweight division. To do it Calzaghe had to rip the WBC and WBA belts from unbeaten Dane Mikkel Kessler. Both men went to war in a quite breathtaking 12 rounds of nerve-shredding excitement. The blurring hand speed of Calzaghe proved decisive as he took his unbeaten record to 44 fights - 21 of them world title defences! In his decade of dominance, Calzaghe has never had to dig so deep. Kessler was class but the judges? scorecards confirmed the undeniable excellence of the Welsh warrior. The judges scored it: John Stewart (USA) 116-112 Massimo BarrovecchIo (Italy) 116-112 Raul Caiz (USA) 117-111 The result was unanimous - Calzaghe was the better man he always is!
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.
