Based on the novel "La mar es mala mujer" (Raúl Guerra Garrido, 1987), "Newfoundland" tells the gauge of a man who faces his fate. Antxón Elizalde, an experienced skipper of a fishing boat, clashes a young captain, Jose Antonio Errandonea, who is also disputing the love of his partner in land, Ainara. The sea and women seem to be the same. Antxón will have to work hard to retrieve his job, his love and his status for the others and for himself. Icebergs going adrift, ice and gigantic sea waves form the landscape of this story loaded with epics and legend. Newfoundland means struggling against the sea and the elements, against accidents on board. Against love and death.
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.
