A ragtag group of teens band together to compete in the World Championship of Rock Paper Scissors.
Kelvin Anis is an average teen whose life is turned upside down when he's forced to move from Los Angeles to a small mid-western town. On his first day of school, he befriends Fritz, an unpopular, wise-cracking misfit, who introduces Kelvin to the school's chess team. Only, the chess team is just a front for Fritz's unsanctioned Rock Paper Scissors league and Kelvin quickly gets thrown into the ridiculous culture of this so called "sport". Along with the gangly "movie producer", ReRun, the child genius, Cheddar and the uniquely gifted, Einstein, Kelvin joins Fritz's squad to form the team of five they need to qualify for the World Championships. And if joining an RPS playing team of misfits wasn't enough to make Kelvin a target of the school bully, Jordan, his budding romance with popular girl, Valerie, puts him squarely in Jordan's sites.

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.
