The social media stars Mengli (played by Joyin CHOI) and Xiaomiao (played by YoMi) are joined by their university friend Yuying (played by Kabby HUI) on a trip to an island for their live show. Granny Xiong (played by CAO Yang), the boat rower, proposes to take them to another island, and it turns out to be a trap to get her disabled grandson a bride! The girls are then locked-up, and with time they begin to give in in exchange for water and food. The long-awaited chance finally arrives! But only when they make a run, they realize that they are faced with more than two captors! The girls’ morale takes another hit when Yuying finds herself pregnant. They must work on their last chance to escape before it is too late.

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.
