Legend tells of a time when righteousness faded, and humans defied the heavens. In anger, the Earth God unleashed a great disaster, collapsing the skies and shattering the earth. From the darkness, sealed demons rose and ravaged the mortal realm. Amid the chaos, Wu Jian Dao Ren of the Divine Sword Sect stood as humanity’s last hope, wielding the legendary Divine Sword of Annihilation—crafted from celestial black iron and capable of destroying demons. Yet, its power came with a curse: death to its wielder. To protect the secret, the sword and its technique, "Heavenly Ascension," were hidden separately. Years later, three childhood friends—Xiao Cuo, Xiao Ni, and Xiao Yun—are raised by rival realms: Dao, Demon, and Immortal. As they grow into Wu Jian, Mo Ni, and Sheng Nü, one fateful night changes everything. The fate of the world now lies in their hands—will they choose light or darkness?
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.
