Filmed in front of a live audience in March 2021 in Auckland, Aotearoa, “Live From The Island” was one of New Zealand’s first full capacity sold-out arena performances since the onset of COVID, and Crowded House's first concert since 2011. Neil Finn said, “We were truly blessed to be able to play 12 real live gigs in NZ, the band together after a year of lockdown, sensing the occasion and playing as if everything was brand new and full of wonder. We can’t wait to share this beautifully captured performance from Auckland with our fans around the world in anticipation of being on the stage for them in person once again.” The band, comprised of Neil Finn, Nick Seymour, Mitchell Froom, Liam Finn and Elroy Finn, showcase tracks from their new record Dreamers Are Waiting, including singles Whatever You Want, To The Island and Playing With Fire alongside their legendary catalogue – Something So Strong, Don’t Dream It’s Over, Mean To Me, World Where You Live, and 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.
