Apocalypse Slough: A Murder, They Hope Mystery sees Gemma recruited by the Serious Crimes Agency (SCA). It's a dream come true for the ambitious sleuth, who can finally live as the kick-ass investigator she always dreamed of being... but unfortunately the SCA don't want Terry because of his criminal past. As Gemma's new status puts a strain on the couple's relationship, they are hired to solve a double murder at a local rugby club, where all of the members seem to be behaving very strangely — and then more bodies start appearing. To make matters even weirder, the dead bodies all bear the same strange symbol somewhere on them — could this be a gentleman murderer leaving a calling card? And why does a camouflaged figure keep calling Gemma from a mysterious bunker?
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.
