The nine-tailed fox king Hua Yuan is sealed in a stone tablet by Yun Chenzi during the war. A hundred years later, in Lanling City, the kind and innocent girl Ling Yun is waiting for her lover to propose marriage, but instead she is betrayed by her father and abandoned by her lover. Under immense resentment, Ling Yun's blood tears the seal apart. The released Hua Yuan possesses Ling Yun and establishes the "Eastern Women City" with eight other fox demons. In order to completely break free of Lingyun's body, Hua Yuan sets his sights on the seven-orifice Linglong Heart of scholar Xu Wenliang. In order to make Xu Wenliang voluntarily offer his heart, Hua Yuan and her fox demons set multiple traps for him.

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.
