One day, the members noticed Ju Gan with a sad face. After asking, they realized that he couldn’t solve his case. The members noted that without any idea of where the deceased was, of course the truth could not be discovered. Then out of the blue, Ju Gan had an idea where he invited the members of the club to the scene of the crime and each one plays the victim to see if this would help the police solve the case. Suddenly, a homicide took place in the neighborhood. With her vast knowledge of different types of knives from working at the fruit stand, the fruit stand owner while assisting the police reenact the crime discovered that the suspect was still hiding some details. Together along with Ju Gan, the other members of the club helped the police to eventually uncover and solve the case.
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.
