Due to a childhood head injury, the investigator of the IC Alexey Platov is unable to feel feelings. He grew up calm, reasonable and lonely. It would seem that this is an advantage in his work, but the lack of any emotions does not give him the opportunity to build normal relationships with colleagues and superiors. One day Platov goes to businessman Miller to get dirt on influential people of the city and his colleagues from the UK, but finds him in a pool of blood, who died an obviously violent death. One of the police officers who arrived on call turns out to be Lieutenant Polina Lavrova. From that moment on, she, along with the emotionless Platov, begins to fight corruption in the local IC and the police.
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.
