A retired policeman suspects his wife committing adultery. He then goes to great lengths to prove her infidelity, including using a psychotic kid as his pawn.
Retired policeman Wai suspects that his wife commits adultery. He stumbled upon this mystery, which he saw as the connection between his brother Ming and his wife. Thus originated the story of the conspiracy against heaven. Lee Ho Fang is an orphan lad who has just served out for the occasional murder of a girl with whom he was in love. On his way out of prison, he meets Wai who introduces himself as a friend of his father - he tells Lee Ho Fang that he lives in an apartment that actually belonged to his father, and invites him to live with him. He agrees and soon sees in the window opposite a beautiful, but sad woman Yeung Man Kei, who immediately falls in love with. She once lost her husband, but continues to "communicate" with him .

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.
