Brothers Pak Wai and Chin Fan have totally different personalities. Pak Wai is a positive, diligent leader of an ice hockey team. Even when facing strong opponents Tin Shing, he believes that passion and hard work can lead them to victory. Chin Fan hates his elder brother’s eagerness and feels that he can never be as skillful as him. When Pak Wai dies in an accident, Chin Fan and Pak Wai’s girlfriend Yu are dispirited. They share memories of Pak Wai to keep each other going. Meanwhile, Team Sparks, once led by Pak Wai, falls apart. While selling Pak Wai’s ice hockey equipment, Chin Fan meets Bean, an optimistic girl who inspires him to regroup Team Sparks. He restores the ice-skating rink and resumes the business. When the team meets their old rival Tin Shing and his team Storm, they feel powerless. However, they also realize that passion brings about a determination to achieve their goal. They vow to defeat their rivals and head towards the professional championship.

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.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
