A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Christina Bell, is a native of Shreveport, Louisiana. Christina initially found success in the gospel music world as the lead singer of the Stellar- Award nominated super group Zie'l. Barely into her teens at the time, she spent years with the group developing an impressive, rich harmonic sound that incorporated traditional gospel, R&B, and soul. The powerhouse singer became an entrepreneur which was birthed from her passion for helping others. She launched VocalBells, a venture where she serves as a vocal coach focusing on vocal performance, care, and artistry. Christina Bell emerged as a solo artist in 2016 and issued a soulful, seven-song independent project called "Just Believe". She's toured and shared stages with Fred Hammond, Donnie McClurkin, Yolanda Adams and Kirk Franklin. Christina Bell released a new single entitled "Going" a reminder of God's never ending mercy. The inspirational song hit top 20 on Billboard radio charts and is now available on all digital outlets.
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.
