Biography from TheMovieDB

Meng Jia, known simply as Jia, is a Chinese singer, dancer, model, actress and former member of MISS A. She graduated from Seoul Comprehensive Arts Practical School.  JYP Entertainment wanted to launch a Chinese version of WONDER GIRLS, and she was placed in the new group. They signed with Samsung Electronics in China and released a song used for a commercial called "Love Again". After facing some lineup changes, the members were sent to South Korea to debut.  She made her debut in July 2010 as the group's main rapper, lead dancer and vocalist with their first EP, "Bad But Good". The lead single "Bad Girl Good Girl" became the first ever song by a debuting group to reach #1 on the Gaon Digital Chart also becoming the best-performing single.  Their subsequent releases were also praised by music critics and the public, and the group enjoyed an increase in popularity. However, in March 2015, they went on an indefinite hiatus following the promotional period for their EP, "Colors", and the group never released any new material again.  In May 2016, she decided not to renew her contract with JYP and left the group to pursue individual activities in China. She made her debut as a solo artist in November 2016 with the single album "Jia".  After leaving JYP, she was briefly represented by Banana Culture Entertainment before she established her own independent label, Meng Jia Studio, to continue her acting and singing career in China.

About the Movie Section

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:

  • I added "runners up" to Top 10 lists, treating them as ties where applicable and numbering them accordingly at the bottom of each list.
  • Regarding those polls wherein "franchise" movies were submitted as one project until BFI's policy changed to regard them separately, I treated them as ties and renumbered the affected lists accordingly (e.g. the Godfather films).

Regarding profile removals and data corrections:

  • If you would like your profile removed from this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's gone from their site, it should soon be gone from this site.
  • If you would like to correct movie data on this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's corrected on their site, it should soon be corrected on this site.
  • For additional corrections and profile removals, please e-mail The Open Movie Database (OMDb).

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.
