Shangguan Yan, alias "Nu Shen Long", has been wandering the Jianghu alone for 15 years in search of her mother after a mysterious family tragedy occurred when she was 8. She is highly skilled at martial arts and possesses a special sword known as the Phoenix Sword, which was nurtured together with the Dragon Sword by her shifu Bian Jiang Lao Ren. It is said that the owners of the two swords are destined to fall in love. However, the owner of the Dragon Sword is Sima Changfeng, a conflicted hero who's out to kill Shangguan Yan to avenge the deaths of his 30 clansmen who were allegedly slang by Shangguan Yan's father Shangguan Yun.
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.
